Liz Claiborne's Bora Bora Exotic arrived in 2007 as part of the brand's popular tropical fragrance line, offering an accessible take on exotic florals at the mass-market price point.

The fragrance opens with a bright floral burst of champaca, lotus, and violet softened by watery aquatic notes and a subtle sweetness. The heart blooms into a classic white floral arrangement of jasmine, magnolia, and rose, with freesia adding a lemony lift and violet threading through for continuity. Sandalwood and amber provide a warm, creamy base, while musk and peach round out the dry-down with a soft, skin-like quality. Overall, this is a traditionally feminine floral with aquatic and musky undercurrents, leaning sweet without being cloying.

Bora Bora Exotic works best for those who appreciate classic white florals but want something lighter and more accessible than department store powerhouses. It's an easy everyday fragrance for warm weather, particularly suited to daytime wear. Discover your fragrance DNA: The Heirloom, The Romantic, and The Tactician.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
champaca
champaca
lotus
lotus
Serene, aquatic, and faintly sweet, lotus sits between a water lily and a white floral, with a cool, meditative quality. It's simultaneously clean and warm, suggesting the scent of still water and temple incense. Frequently found in Asian-influenced and spa-inspired fragrances for its calm, contemplative character.
violet
violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
water lily
water lily
Cool, aquatic, and faintly sweet, water lily evokes still ponds and quiet garden pools. It has a clean, watery floral quality that sits between lotus and a light white flower, with a slight greenness from its floating leaves. Used in aquatic and sheer floral compositions to add a serene, natural freshness.
ylang ylang
ylang ylang
An exotic tropical flower with a dense, almost rubbery sweetness that can border on overwhelming, but in careful hands it adds an unmistakable lushness. It has banana-like and slightly medicinal facets that make it distinctive rather than generically pretty. A staple of heady oriental and vintage-style florals.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
jasmine
jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
magnolia
magnolia
Creamy, lush, and faintly lemony, magnolia is a floral note with real presence, richer than peony but more accessible than jasmine. It has a velvety quality and a slight spice that stops it from being simply pretty. Used to add warmth and dimensionality to floral compositions.
rose
rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
violet
violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
yellow freesia
yellow freesia
The warmest and most honeyed variety of freesia, yellow freesia has a slightly richer, creamier character than pink or white varieties. It retains the clean, slightly peppery freshness of standard freesia but with a warmer, more golden sweetness. Used to add a refined, spring-garden elegance to floral compositions.
Base · 3–12 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
musk
musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
peach
peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
sandalwood
sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
violet
violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
