Giardini di Toscana Borabora EDP

Description

Borabora is Giardini di Toscana's sun-drenched island escape: tiare flower, ylang-ylang and jasmine over a creamy coconut-vanilla base. Launched in 2023 and composed by perfumer Silvia Martinelli, it leans into the house's playful, story-driven side: reviewers describe it as caramel and vanilla-milk sweetness with a distant, sun-kissed floral warmth once the initial florals settle.
