Description
Citron Boboli previously known as Citron Poivré (Spicy Lemon):
In this creation, Yuri Gutsatz, garbs the Essence of Lemon from Italy, which is known to be very volatile, with a selection of spices which turns it into a very original perfume, and imparts a lasting quality that the Essence alone does not possess. The composition thus acquires perfect harmony between the head notes that are light and fresh and the core and base notes of this fragrance, which leave a very subtle trail of perfume in its wake.
“After visiting the Palazzo Pitti, you blithely make your way to the heights of the Boboli Gardens. The view of Florence is stunning, but a grotto on your right draws you
with its freshness. Just at the entrance, a statue is decked with beautiful lemons. Are they real? Are they virtual? Why can you smell the fragrance of Italian lemon, petitgrain, bitter orange and galbanum? And that whiff of black pepper and
cloves, where does it come from?” – a note from the brand.

My impression when I did put first time was smell like Limoncello ! (Italian lemon liqueur)
Then I start smell strong LemonGeranium and light Cinnamon, also I feel very small amount of Vanilla which is not in the note list. After I smell very light green note(maybe St John’s Wort ?) and incense , mean time Clove comes more front low. It’s seems like Orange pomander but instead of Orange they used Lemon. I think this perfume is complex and very original.

Citron Boboli makes a trip to Italy, more precisely to Florence and its famous gardens. Those visiting the Pitti Palace (a complex with parks, museums and exhibitions), get to know the famous Bardini and Boboli gardens. And as you go climbing by the flowery alleys filled with statues in open sky, toward the highest point, which has the most beautiful views of Florence, it is possible to come across the famous Grotta del Buontalenti, a grotto that is considered the most valuable building of the garden.
It is in this place of history and wealth that is born the concept behind Citron Boboli, which has notes of Italian lemon, petitgrain from Paraguay, Brazilian bitter orange, black pepper, galbanum and cloves.
And what can I say about this perfume? Citron Boboli is stunning and captivating! From all the fragrances I tested until now, released in this new phase of Le Jardin Retrouvé, this is the one that evolves and pleases me the most.
When touches the skin, reminds me of a classic from 1965, called Epicéa, by Creed. The mixture of lemon and cloves is similar. However, Citron Boboli is more pleasant and current, at the same time that keeps a foot in the peculiar tradition of the Italian fragrances.
We have, then, a scent of citrus and spicy aspect, with aromatic, spicy and sweet nuances that dance on the skin, showing facets that can confuse: on the one hand, an elegant smell; on the other, a smell of lemon cookies being baked in the oven.
In addition, Citron Boboli still manages to satisfy both in projection and durability, even taking into consideration the fact that citrus notes tend to be more volatile.
Citron Boboli makes you want always more. Even after rising to the highest point, albeit tired, I just want to get down and start climbing again. Gorgeous perfume!

What a happy perfume! I don’t know if it is because the Holiday is just around the corner, but when I smell Citron Boboli I instantly think of Christmas! When I first apply this perfume on my skin, all I can smell is cloves and lemon cream! I can’t help it and my mind flies to the traditional Christmas pies, full of spices and delicious creams. Mmmm… my mouth is already watery! I can picture my mother singing a carol while she decorates the table, waiting for me to join her. There are cookies in the oven and tea in the kitchen. Dad is wrapping gifts in his armchair. Everything around us is shiny and our lips are curled up in a smile. Citron Boboli is pure joy!

This scent is wonderful! It’s not very spicy on me, it smells more like lime, then lemon. It’s not harsh or sour at all, very gentle and even floral, slightly powder…
I think it’s better on men, then women, because of its elegance and quiet very balanced friendly temper. I think every woman wants to have a gentleman besides her, this scent is about polite, communicative, clever person, with a good taste ;o))
As Rebella, I find it unique, like every fragrance by this house. They all have some indescribable warmness of the past.

Finding a scent that is both fresh and spicy, suitable for both winter and summer and for both sexes isn´t that easy. But Le Jardin Retrouve´s Citron Poivre manage to combine all of that in one perfume.
The citrus notes in the top are both fresh and sunny, not so harsh. After a while the spices and geranium joins in and all together make this a nice, wearable and quite unique fragrance.
Never heavy or to much, light but still quite longlasting.
