What does Citron Boboli smell like?

Petitgrain and galbanum give the citrus a green, slightly bitter edge at the start. In the heart, cinnamon, clove leaf, geranium and black pepper add a spicy warmth, and in the base vanilla and musk soften the scent and sweeten it a little.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure, daily wear and business named most often. Votes for a feminine and a masculine character are close. Boadicea the Victorious Energizer and Trussardi Alba sui Navigli have a similar profile.
