Bright, spicy and sunlit, it blends sparkling lemon zest with the warmth of clove and pepper, like a walk from the gardens of Florence to the spice markets of Asia. Citron Boboli was created in 1977 by Yuri Gutsatz.

Did you say Citron Boboli?
Citron Boboli is an energising Eau de Parfum with notes of citrus and delicious spices. An original, comforting and unisex fragrance. It will transport you in the footsteps of Yuri, the founder of our House, when he lived in India and discovered the richness of Indian aromas and plants. Clove, pepper and lemon will take you on a journey between Asia and Italy.
Citron Boboli, created in 1977 by Yuri Gutsatz, was previously known as Citron Poivré.
The origins BEHIND Boboli lemon
Citron Boboli was created by Yuri Gutsatz at his home in Cour Jasmin, Paris, and was originally called Citron Poivré. It was created in 1977: a year that saw culture and modernity intertwine: Baryshnikov introduced ballet to television, the Centre Georges Pompidou opened, and Apple launched its first computer. Amidst this mix of old and new, Citron Poivré was born.
In 2017, Yuri's son Michel and his wife, artist and writer Clara Feder, were given the difficult task of selecting just seven fragrances from Yuri's vast and meticulously preserved archives to bring back to life. Citron Boboli has earned its place on the stage once again, bringing a scent from the 1970s to a new 21st-century audience that greatly appreciates it.
‘Finding a fragrance that is both fresh and spicy, suitable for winter and summer and for both sexes, is not so easy. But Citron Poivré by Le Jardin Retrouvé manages to combine all of this in a single fragrance.’
REBELLA, MEMBER OF FRAGRANTICA
Like a scent of happiness in the air with Citron Boboli...
The first notes of lemon that escape from this fragrance provide the same enchantment every time. Happy and comforting emotions and memories then overwhelm you... Citron Boboli is a fragrance that is both invigorating and subtle, reminiscent of the sweet smells of pastries, lemon cream and all kinds of delicacies often associated with the Christmas season.
Then, this bright and sweet side becomes increasingly mysterious. It gradually gives way to spicier scents that balance the fragrance. The citrus and black pepper accords blend perfectly to make this eau de parfum a unique and very chic creation that lingers on the skin. The more floral middle notes highlight the delicate scent of geranium, which adds a powdery touch to the composition, before finishing with much more intense and vibrant base notes.
One of the reasons Citron Boboli is so popular with our customers is that it offers the perfect contrast between tartness and spiciness, thanks in particular to its strong clove scent. When temperatures are too high, Citron Boboli is sure to give you a pleasant feeling of freshness. Ideal for spring and summer, it is perfect for dynamic, sporty people, as well as anyone who appreciates warm, sensual scents. Citron Boboli is a citrus fragrance that is sure to make an impression, leaving a light trail and offering excellent longevity.
THE TEXT INSPIRED BY CLARA FEDER ON THE BOBOLI GARDENS
After visiting Palazzo Pitti, you head up to the heights of the Boboli Gardens. The view of Florence is magnificent, but a grotto on your right beckons you with its coolness. Just inside the entrance, a statue displays magnificent lemons. Are they real or virtual? But then, why are there scents of Italian lemon, petitgrain, bitter orange and galbanum? And where do these traces of black pepper and clove come from?
