What do reviewers say about Borea and Arethusa?
Borea could have been just another tropical sunscreen. It isn't. The white florals are what save it, lush enough to feel sophisticated, not just sweet. The powdery finish is where people disagree.Borea
Arethusa earns its marine classification with a salt-and-sand base that stays put for hours. The fragrance opens with fruit brightness before settling into its true character.Arethusa
