The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Giardini Di Toscana, Borabora is a creation by perfumer Silvia Martinelli that embodies the essence of the tropics with its white floral and sweet accords. The fragrance opens with tiare flower, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, which blend into a warm heart of apricot and coconut milk before settling into a base of vanilla, caramel, and white musk. This composition captures the sun-drenched warmth and lushness of an island paradise.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The fragrance blooms quickly, with the sweet and creamy notes becoming more prominent over time. It pairs well with a casual daytime look and can also transition into a warm evening scent.

A family recipe book since 1942

Silvia Martinelli carries forward a family legacy that began in 1942, when her grandparents Giovan Piero and Emma Ducci founded a Bottega — originally a pharmacy — in a medieval village in Tuscany's Casentino Valley, which their daughter Irma later transformed into an upscale perfumery.
