Another smell-alike from the Liz Claiborne brand

Confirmed! Bora Bora is a J'Adore smell-alike. That said, J'Adore is smoother & rounder than BB. J'Adore is also muskier as it dries. Regardless, BB is a GREAT smell-alike at a great price. Don't hesitate to purchase BB if you want J'Adore without the pricetag.

I really like BB ... just not the mass-market presentation of white florals in BB, which never seem to work well on my skin and always seem to aggravate my allergies.

Bora Bora

It opens with a sweetness that consists of sweet mandarin and water lily it surprises me that Bora Bora and Alfred Sung Shi both
have a cloying to the skin style and opens
sweet and watery but shi is more woodsy and deeper in Incense more superior staying power then Bora, bora dries to a honey like scent of tuberoses that dominates this perfume completely overshadows the other notes orchid is an
elusive to the senses hard to find but it's in there. ginger faint traces of it
barely noticible is there any sandalwood in this thats hard to tell
unless you have an scent of an Canine
but to my senses no dice.

Unpleasant Schlager Memories!

Liz Claiborne was the American queen of the business look for women! Her designs were the first in the 1970s to keep up with men's suits effortlessly. In 1990, she handed over the reins of her company and retreated into private life. The designer passed away in 2007 from cancer.

Bora Bora is, I think, a typically American perfume. It is meant to be a reminiscence of the island/atoll of the Society Islands in French Polynesia.
Those of us who are a bit older might still remember the name of this island from the Schlager ballad by Toni Marschall (yikes). But the fragrance is better than the Schlager!

So, what does BB smell like? Primarily of tuberose! The top note is subtly fresh, and the mandarin note is somewhat artificial. You can already sense the tuberose here.

The heart is entirely dominated by tuberose! The jasmine comes through only a little, while the other two flowers are completely overshadowed.

I can't detect any ginger in the base; only the sandalwood extends the tuberose and gives it a subtle woody note.

I don't find this tuberose scent bad, but it doesn't quite suit my taste.

For lovers of jasmine and tuberose, BB could be a candidate for testing.
