What does Boss Bottled Bold Citrus smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it sits close without vanishing quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and sport leading and business not far behind. It reads masculine, and many also call it modern.

It opens with bright, fruity citrus from the bergamot and lemon. In the heart, Bourbon geranium and elemi resin add a green, slightly spicy touch. Patchouli and vetiver build a woody base underneath, while the fresh character stays on top throughout.
