Imagine a dash of French glamour woven into the laid-back charm of Bora Bora, where island life meets European sophistication. The melodic hum of French accents fills the air, and even the simplest island dishes are elevated by the influence of French cuisine.

Surrounded by shimmering turquoise waters and tranquil lagoons, we had the pleasure of visiting Francesca Bonato’s home, the visionary founder of Coqui Coqui. Francesca has curated a stunning collection of eight fragrances, each inspired by the exotic tropical flowers, fruits, herbs, and woods of French Polynesia. A short boat ride from our resort led us into a world of delicate, gauzy dresses and the intoxicating scents of the islands.
