Citron Boboli by Le Jardin Retrouve is a Aromatic Spicy fragrance for women and men. Citron Boboli was launched in 1977. The nose behind this fragrance is Yuri Gutsatz. Top notes are Lemon, Lime, Petitgrain, Galbanum and Orange; middle notes are Clove, Black Pepper, Geranium and Cinnamon; base notes are Vanilla and Musk. 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 Signature Fragrance
Vanilla
Vanilla is the scent of childhood memories and cozy nights by the fire. Derived from the cured pods of orchids native to Mexico, it has a rich sweetness that can range from creamy and milky in texture to deep and almost smoky. Its versatility makes it a staple in perfumery, capable of adapting its character to complement both light citrus notes and heavier woody accords.
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Clove
Clove, derived from the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, emanates a potent aroma that is both sweetly floral and pungently spicy. Native to Indonesia's Moluccas islands, clove has been cherished for centuries not only in perfumes but also as a culinary spice and traditional medicine.

Citrus Spice Vetiver Root
Citron Boboli's lemon, lime, and clove-tinged citrus sits on top of Eau de Vetyver's raw, earthy root, so the sparkle gets pulled down into damp green vetiver instead of fading into thin air. The cinnamon and black pepper keep a spicy thread running through the whole thing.
Spray the vetiver on chest and forearms first, then mist Citron Boboli over the top and along the collar so the citrus reads first before settling into the woody base.
