The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Borea by Tiziana Terenzi, launched in 2019 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that plays a delicate dance between freshness and warmth. The composition opens with the crispness of pear and coconut, before delving into the rich heart notes of tuberose, freesia, jasmine, and rose. The base of vanilla, musk, sandalwood, and oakmoss adds depth and a lingering comfort that envelops the wearer in a soft embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Borea lightly for the initial freshness to shine through; it will gradually evolve into its warmer base notes. Ideal for daytime wear when you want something both refreshing and subtly alluring.
