Boss Bottled Bold Citrus
BOSS Bottled Bold Citrus: the vitamin C of the masculine wardrobe The famous BOSS bottle gets a makeover: Bottled Bold Citrus injects a dose of zesty adrenaline into the woody lineage of 1998. From the opening, a Primofiore lemon bursts forth, crisp with freshness; bergamot coats it all in a clean light. The heart reveals a resinous elemi and Bourbon geranium duo that pulses like a heartbeat after a sprint, before settling into a subtly smoky patchouli-vetiver. A dynamic, clean eau de parfum, dressed in an elegant woody base: ideal for elevating light suits and shirts rolled up to the forearms.

The BOSS icon, sun-pressed
Visual design
The cylinder-column silhouette returns, but the glass is tinted a light yellow evoking lemon pulp. The embossed BOSS lettering runs vertically, flecked with metallic highlights. A brushed silver collar reflects light like the ring of a mojito shaker.

“Dress sharp, squeeze harder”: the Bold Citrus spirit
Scenography
Film shot on the rooftops of Milan: sunrise, sharp shadow lines. The protagonist cuts through the air on an urban bicycle, beige suit, white sneakers. At the top, he uncaps his bottle; the city receives a golden lemon ray — the day can begin under the sign of clarity.
Emotional signature
Bold Citrus champions a confidence that does not shout: direct freshness, woody underpinning, impeccable composure — like a well-cut blazer over a white t-shirt.
Detailed olfactory pyramid
Top notes: Primofiore lemon & bergamot
Cold-pressed Primofiore, zesty brightness, Calabrian bergamot to round out the acidity.
Heart notes: honeyed elemi & Bourbon geranium
Elemi resin with peppery-honey undertones, green-leaved geranium that extends the aromatic vibration.
Base notes: clean patchouli & Haiti vetiver
Fractionated patchouli without an earthy facet, dry and slender vetiver: the woody backbone dear to Bottled.
Common questions
What is the difference from classic Boss Bottled?
The original blended apple-cinnamon-vanilla. Bold Citrus focuses on lemon-bergamot freshness and a clean woody base, without gourmand character.
Unisex or masculine?
Classified masculine, but its citrus-geranium zest will appeal to skin that loves woody citrus fragrances.
Optimum seasonality?
Spring-summer at full strength; also perfect in a heated meeting room in winter, thanks to the discreet woody base.
