Bora Bora

by Silvia Martinelli

Sunlit, glowing skin, somewhere between flowers and tropical warmth. Bora Bora conjures up a hot, sun-drenched island, with an almost exotic feel that never slips into the overly sweet cliché. The fragrance captures the sensation of sun-warmed skin, with something luminous, creamy and lightly floral about it.

Who it's for, when to wear it

A unisex fragrance, floral and powdery. Wear it on relaxed days out and on a date. Powerful sillage: it leaves a trail others will notice across the room. Top Notes: tiare flower, ylang-ylang, jasmine, apricot. Heart: coconut milk, white musk, jasmolactone. Base: white musk, caramel. Composed by Silvia Martinelli.

How to wear it

Two sprays on the neck and wrists are enough; on a scarf or collar, the flower stays clearer for longer. Avoid rubbing your wrists after applying, as it crushes the opening.

The fragrance

Bora Bora opens on a soft, slightly fruity freshness that gives an immediate sense of light. Then the fragrance turns sunnier and more floral, with a creamy texture that recalls warm skin and flowers in the sun.

With time, the whole becomes more comforting, as musks and woods soften the scent and give it a skin-like quality. The feel stays soft, warm and luminous, without ever becoming heavy.

The brand

The story of Giardini Di Toscana begins in 1942 in Bibbiena, a medieval village in the Casentino, one of the most unspoilt valleys in Tuscany. It was there that Giovan Piero and Emma Ducci opened their first shop, specialising in handmade perfumes and ointments. Silvia Martinelli, granddaughter of Giovan Piero and Emma, a self-taught perfumer trained in that same space filled with recipe notebooks and age-old techniques, is the one who brought the house into the era of auteur perfumery. Silvia combines the family heritage with a twofold ambition: to honour Italian tradition while exploring a free, deep and resolutely modern creativity. Her source of inspiration is the Tuscan garden, a meeting point between architecture and nature, between the work of human hands and the generosity of the land. That is where the fragrances are born: mist in the undergrowth, morning citrus, childhood biscuits, evening flowers. Precise images, never abstract. Production is entirely Italian, responsible and transparent: bottles blown by a historic glassworks powered by renewable energy, boxes printed locally on recycled paper. A house built over generations that still smells of Tuscany.
