Bora Bora Liz Claiborne for women

My college roommate wore this, and I always got a headache when she sprayed it. It has a very old-fashioned perfume scent, very heavy on alcohol, musk and flowers. Not a fan.

I get many compliments when I wear this one. It's a pretty perfume for a great price. I like it and when my friends try mine, they go get it for themselves. The staying power is very good.

This gave me an instant headache and I had to wash it off. So I sent it to my Aunt who likes sweeter fragrances. (Yes I always send the ones I dont like to people who I know will like it *and* live FAR away. lol Is that terrible????)

Very similar to Tommy Bahama but with more of a "perfumey" smell (don't know how else to put it) and a little less sweet.
I guess it's that dry catch in the back of your throat kind of thing that makes a scent a perfume rather than an air freshener.
I would associate it with less expensive/lesser quality ingredient offerings.

So, it's not great but at least I don't get plastic doll skin which is a nice change!

This was a blind buy for me. I was pleasantly surprised at it's longevity (not overpowering). It's great for summer, particularly when the weather is humid. Coconut really stands out with this one and it's a rather tropical scent. Great value for money if you like sweet (but not sickly), slightly musky perfumes...

It's too sweet and in your face, and when it finally calms down it just smells like cheap soap and grass. I can't stand it.

Wowee! I am so impressed with this perfume. I was a little scared it would be crap. But I read all the reviews and I'm glad I listened.

The bottle is this huge, bamboo-shaped, opalescent monstrocity, in a kitchy sort of way.

I am glad that someone compared this to J-Lo's Miami Glow. Bora Bora is less fruity than Miami Glow. The tropical florals really stand out--but not in a passionflower fruity sort of way. More like a ginger-flower and pikaki sort of way. I also detect something green and woodsy, like bamboo or maybe even a touch of sugarcane.

As soon as you spray it on, it's magnificently sweet without being too young. When it wears down, the fruity freshness steps aside to make way for the heavenly florals. What I love about this scent is that it manages to smell sweet without having any trace of vanilla in it.

The staying power is wonderful--much longer lasting than Miami Glow. This was a smart "cheap" pick.

Smells more tropical than Jlo's miami and sunkissed glow's. It is very sweet and very tropical and lasts a loooooonnnnngggggg time! Not a favorite but because of it's lasting power I stocked up I love a lasting fragrance!

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.

I love this.SWeet,but not sicky sweet.On me,theres a pronounced hibiscus smell,Bamboo which i love,topped off with ginger.It makes one want to go ahhhhh when u smell it.Makes Others want to nuzzle u.Would b beautiful any time of year but,smells most like spring.fresh,ck=lean,yet u no its there,sweet and yummy.Smells better than JAdore to me and lasts longer.

I found that Bora Bora really does smell like Bora Bora. It's very tropical and floral and sweet. It's almost a sticky sweet but I still like it very much. The best part is that it's not high priced so it can be a fun summer treat. I don't think it would smell right in the winter.

I bought this one after reading a review that it was better than Bora Bora Exotic (BBE). BBE is my favorite so far of all my perfumes, it's perfection to my nose. This one is tropical, but that's it. This is a lovely perfume, very summery, just no beachy feel to it. Perfect for a tropical vacation to Bora Bora if there wasn't water surrounding it!

This is a perfect smell, its great for summer nights.Very nice on the nose and not well known with many. Great compliments to be had and has that certain quality that makes you stand out. I recvd a small sample and bought right away online for very cheap.

Bora Bora is tropical and sweet while being clean and fresh with a hint of spice in the drydown. I like this fragrance. I believe this is going to be a a great summer fragrance for me this year. I love fragrances with water lily andd this is no exception. I rate it 8 out of 10.

I wore this for a couple of years and then had trouble finding it in stores. I found it at TJMaxx for 9.99 and could not resist. I love the tropical notes and the soft smell.

I completely agree with Chatnoir. This is a slightly sweeter, subtly more tropical, and possibly simpler version of J'adore. I would even go so far as to nickname this one "J'adore Summer (On A Budget)". It is great for the summer months that have arrived and for the financial crises that have befallen most of us.

Though the price would suggest a cheaply scented creation it is far from smelling cheap. It is just about as lovely as J'adore with half of its punch, which is, again, perfect for summer. The staying power is comparable to J'adore too.

All this comparison to J'adore would suggest that this fragrance is not original. It isn't. However, for those of you out there who are head over heels in love with J'adore but simply do not have the money to snag a bottle of your own this is a comparable substitute. If you shop around you can even pick up a bottle for around ten dollars.

I love Bora Bora because it's stay's with me all day long with just one splash.The scent is very feminine and soft.

perfect for a hot summer day when you don't want to wear citrus or green scents. i love this!

I really like it- a sweet, fruity floral as was the vogue in the late 90's, early 2000's. In a way, it smells like a sweeter, slighter version of Dior's "J'Adore". It just doesn't last on me, though.

Very pretty flowery scent. It certainly does smell of tropical flowers.

Nice light floral, def. for warm days or nights.

This is a great choice of perfume for a hot summer night! I like how it is a tropical floral. The scent is quite strong, but lasts for a long time and can still be worn in hot, humid weather. It's a bit exotic and very feminine.
