Green Screen
It's a gorgeous Saturday morning in spring, and you're unsure of what to do. You're not too bothered, however; you're sure to find plenty of inspiration in your surroundings. True, it's not quite summer yet, but you still deserve a break, and the birds chirp happily in agreement.

As you gaze outside, the bright sky alchemizes memories of your last trip to Italy. You feel as if you're on a movie set. To fuel this feeling, you grab a juicy apple and step out of your villa into your garden. A pleasant breeze, almost like spearmint, accompanies your first bite.

"This must be what heaven is like," you muse lazily, looking around proudly at your garden. You've acquired quite the green thumb within the last year, inspired by your trip to Florence in the breathtaking Giardino di Boboli (Boboli Gardens). While you may not live in the Palazzo Pitti, you brought some of its culture home — you'd made sure to grow plenty of roses and geraniums to gently remind yourself of it, and you could smell them faintly in the breeze.

The juicy smell of that apple, however, is more than faint, and it somehow grows tastier the more you eat it. Spearmint continues to wash over you in waves, with those wisps of rose in the air. You smile and soak it all in: you're surrounded by warmth and greenery, with nothing but sunny days ahead. You think to yourself, "If only there were a fragrance that could capture this ethereal feeling..."

*But there is! Giardino di Boboli — Roberto Ugolini's masterpiece for green and fresh lovers. In my experience with Christian Carbonnel's creations, he knows what he's doing. He captures so many feelings and memories with his creations, and with this one, he has definitely created a green screen.

I'm halfway done with my first bottle and just had to buy a second one. This might just be my absolute favorite fragrance. Every time I wear this, I feel like I've just had the most soothing shower and massage. My pores seem to open up. I just feel ready to take on the day, or ready to take on the hammock. Regardless of what I do next, spraying this perfume takes me on a journey.

Longevity and sillage are top notch to me. I smell it across the room and it lasts the whole day on me.

As a big fan of Roberto Ugolini fragrances, I may be biased, but I think the bottle looks fantastic. The bright green color of the bottle hints at the contents inside. The house name is pressed onto a rather sexy leather label (a fitting touch, as R.U. is a bespoke shoemaker). A genuine ram's horn (used for making shoehorns; another nod to shoe lovers), polished to a wonderful shine, is used as the bottle cap. I'm a sucker for natural lines and variations such as woodgrain, as each piece is different. The same unique concept applies to these ram horn caps.

I love spraying this fragrance on warm days after a fresh shower and a clean shave. I usually pair this with linen and seersucker clothing, often with shorts and loafers.

In the beginning it was nothing with us and later it wasn't, but slowly it's getting ... / + my personal opinion, which is why I like it now....
Hello everyone,

today at a really late hour I would like to give you something else and it's about the Giardino di Boboli .

I tested it right after 1, 2 weeks after it was available and again around the turn of the year and also now (recently).

What do we have here?

Eigtl. you can say it in a nutshell = a clean man scent. But of course there is much more to discover and we have "certain parallels" (and moments) to fragrances we know.

In the top note, we have a "battle" between Head & Shoulders apple and the Greenley, which is very pleasant and will get on the nerves of very few people....

Let's come to the heart note and this area / this phase is very classic WITHOUT EVER BEING OLD! I recognize here "purely by design" the Casamorati - Mefisto . This phase reminds me of the old glorious days of CHANEL (Rose, Iris, Yasmin).

Then it ends creamy and very clean (freshly washed), like a mix of Greenley + L'Homme (in beautiful).

How does it go down?

I've already mentioned it several times. I've never bought a fragrance because of the feedback or to "go down well" (with it), that's not my thing. But I soon find it difficult to let go of this way of thinking. Because whenever I wear it to work, I hear at least 3 to 8 times a day "Benny, so today you smell really great, clean, fresh..... really suitable". And I'll be honest, these constant words do something to you...l

In a nutshell, the feedback is great!
And that for a clean fragrance! (It does what it's supposed to do damn well - clean, freshly grown. It's not a date scent or anything, BUT most women really like it when a man smells clean and well-groomed and that's exactly what it does!
It took me 3 tries and I'll be getting a leftover bottle soon!

OVP + lid + bottle = really good all round and an upscale average (as always with the brand).

If I wasn't really convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you! (It's worth a test!)

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

The green apple for the summer
When looking for a spring-summer fragrance, you either come across citrus scents that quickly give up the ghost or fruit cocktails with a lot of staying power but are sweet as cardboard Yes, and here it finally is, summer
A fragrance that is fruity, not too sweet and has the staying power to get you through a warm summer's day The apple carries the fragrance through the whole course and is always present, for me already a highlight among the fresh summer fragrances The durability is above average for a summer fragrance and you have it constantly in the nose and not just the first few hours, really a very pleasing and long-lasting fragrance.

Giardino di Boboli is already a bit hyped on social media. It's not a typical hype fragrance, but you can often find it in some people's top lists when it comes to fresh spring and summer fragrances. Doesn't have to mean anything, but fragrances that are in the limelight should be looked at. I bought this fragrance a few months ago, specifically because I was looking for a good fresh spring fragrance with good longevity. The RRP of 220€ is clearly too high in my opinion, but it can also be much cheaper if you have a little patience for discounts. I really like the brand Roberto Ugolini by Herbert Stricker and with Marzocco, Blue Suede Shoes and 17 Rosso this is already my 4th fragrance. This brand is worth it.
In my perfume days, I often received letters asking me about fresh fragrances with a long shelf life. Of course, people are often disappointed that a fresh fragrance sometimes only lasts 2-3 hours. It's also not so easy to make a fresh fragrance last without synthetics. This fragrance is definitely a beast, but it's not for everyone. This fragrance is a ramp sow, somewhat penetrating and very intense. There is also a hint of synthetics. There is a lot of criticism in the statements, which also receive approval. Giardino di Boboli is definitely not a fragrance you should buy blindly.

Giardino di Boboli, or Boboli Garden, is a park in Florence. If you google it you will find many beautiful pictures. It would certainly be worth a visit if you were ever in the city. Even though I haven't been there yet, this fragrance is certainly not an authentic fragrance that reflects this theme. What you get here is a fragrance that matches this great green bottle. It's poison green and, like all of them, has a great horn lid. The fragrance comes in the usual orange packaging.
in which direction does this fragrance go? The fragrances listed above are very accurate: floral, fresh, green, fruity and also synthetic. In my opinion, this fragrance also has a slight resemblance to Marc Gebauer's Orange Flamingo, especially in the later stages.
The fragrance starts with a lot of green apple, very unsweet and a great tart apple note. There are also green notes that are quite intense and pleasant and go well with this theme. The rose geranium is also perceptible in the first hour. A note that delivers a beautiful floral freshness. As it progresses, rose gains the upper hand and it is simply a great blend with the apple and the green notes. A little iris also plays a part, along with some woody notes. The floral part is really well done and quite unisex, especially due to the green freshness. From hour 3-4, there is a great soft-rinse vibe. Clean, fresh and pleasant. A pleasant musky note that comes across as powdery and clean. Beautiful light wood also comes through well at the end. Overall, a very pleasing scent in the second half of the fragrance. The first few hours could be quite challenging for some, also due to very good sillage.
As already mentioned, performance is very good and probably also the recipe for success of this fragrance. Lasting power is in double digits and the sillage is strong over many hours.

Overall, a great fresh fragrance that doesn't necessarily drift into the typical no-brainer category. In my opinion, it is best suited for spring and not too hot summer days. It's not refreshing enough for the real summer. A great fragrance, especially thanks to this performance.

Smoke in my face, me, myself and I bathrobe, Calvin Klein's..
Somehow I always have to think of the line of the above song with this fragrance (no idea why)?!

Who knows my reviews to the house Ugolini's, will know that I find this actually EXTREMELY overrated and also piecewise overpriced (for what comes out).

However, this fragrance is different.

Starting in the top notes, I get some mint and the beautiful rose geranium. This is supported quite briskly afterwards by the floral, creamy notes (without now the rose, iris or the jasmine specifically rausfilter zu können) and I also imagine that also something very light, fresh resonates (possibly the ozonische notes)?!

The fragrance remains (at least on my skin) throughout this stadium, but becomes a little creamier through the musk, but without losing its freshness and florality.

It reminds me a bit of a "clean man fragrance", which, however, has very strong character of its own, because it does not go into this typically sweet, exaggerated musk-like, which we already had dozens of times before the shotgun (a happiness).

I think you get here for your money a very pleasant, portable fragrance, which is to be used for pretty much any situation and passes loosely as a signature scent and brings a certain luxurious side with it.

Quote from my partner: "you smell like freshly showered in a luxury hotel"

I can really 1:1 so sign, therefore probably also the allusion to the above line from a Shindy song.
