Okay, I've seen this perfume around somehow, and I've always thought it was just one of those never-to-be-tried Kmart type scents from the 1980s. Well, I tried it recently, and I have to be...

The official list of notes for this sounds lovely, but somehow it ends up being overpowered by artificial, nondescript fruity smells that go acrid on my skin. All in all, I am not a fruity floral...

I must be the minority or maybe I have horrible taste in perfumes but I love this scent. It reminds me of summer and makes me happy. Ive always gotten so many compliments when Ive worn it. Maybe I...

I am currently wearing this and felt the need to write a review based on initial reaction. My mom got this as a gift and let me try it. I really liked the bottle and the name so I spritzed myself...

This smell was a nightmare. I thought, this can't be a real scent when I whiffed it in the store. It smells like nail polish remover and is extremely strong - nothing attractive about it!I...

I am a great fan of island scents - white florals especially. I read every review and purchased this with hope without smelling or sampling it from TJ Max. WOW, what a disappointment! I think my...

Great summer choice--especially for evenings out. I love the sand note in this fragrance, along with the tuberose. It reminds me of the seashore and is slightly similar to one of my very favorite...

Tried this one today. Very nice, smooth and safe floral. While I liked it. It just didnt make enough of an impression on me to actually wear it. I really dont care for the name or the bottle. I...

For my nose not a nice fragrance. Smells too synthetic-floral and artificial. It lacks all the lovely natural exotic ingredients which I love in a fragrance and which I expected in Bora Bora. I was...

I smelled this on the wife of a client on a night out, liked it so much I had to ask what she was wearing and bought it (incidentally, not so easy to find in Europe). Quite frankly I was surprised...

A very nice, fresh, sexy & tropical white floral fragrance. Along the lines of Marc Jacobs, Tommy Bahama, Beyond Paradise, and Spark Seduction. All of these are slightly different and lovely...

I tend to like more "artisan" fragrances (than say a liz claiborne) but this one is not bad. Don't know if I'd want to buy and wear it all the time but it has a nice sort of clean fragrance. It...

Imagine that "Fracas", by Robert Piguet, and "Miami Glow", by J.Lo had a baby. Well, the baby is "Bora Bora".Staying Power is excellent!

I LOVE BORA BORA! My boyfriend got this for me for Valentine's Day last year and I just love it. I wasn't sure what I was going to think at first because I usually only love the super sexy,...

DBF bought a boatload of this stuff for me a few years ago (2 MASSIVE gift sets). I despised it at the time, but kept the smallest bottle of fragrance just so I could tell him I still had it. ...
