Alba di Boboli by Accordi Olfattivi Firenze

Alba di Boboli: A Florentine Chypre Floral at Dawn

Alba di Boboli is the newest scent from the Florentine niche house Accordi Olfattivi Firenze, launched in 2026. This chypre floral eau de parfum was composed by Ilaria Rosmarino and is intended for both women and men.

Inspired by the Boboli Gardens in the early morning, the perfume blends oolong tea, honeysuckle and oak moss with a delicate hint of sea salt. The overall impression is one of fresh greenery, soft florals and a gentle, powdery warmth.

From the first spray, the composition feels crisp and slightly mineral. Oolong tea contributes a dry, steamed character; angelica offers a green, herbal touch; and sea salt creates a bright, tingling sensation on the skin. These top notes are well blended and never feel harsh or overly aquatic.

The heart is where the perfume truly blossoms. Honeysuckle and magnolia form a creamy, sunlit bouquet, while an unusual umami note adds a savoury dimension that sets this scent apart from typical white florals. The effect is intriguing, giving the wearer something to discover throughout the day.

At the base, oak moss, lanolin and subtle chypre accords create a soft, powdery and slightly waxy finish. The lanolin makes the dry-down feel almost like a second skin, while the moss brings a touch of classicism. Musk, amber and citrus hints round out the composition, keeping it bright but never sharp.

Ilaria Rosmarino has designed a fragrance that works beautifully in a variety of settings. It is refined enough for formal occasions, yet comfortable for everyday wear. The unisex nature of the scent means it will sit differently on different people, revealing new facets each time.

This is a perfume for those who prefer subtlety over noise. It does not shout for attention but instead rewards the wearer with a quiet, lasting elegance. The name Alba di Boboli perfectly captures that serene moment when the garden awakens and the light begins to change.

This perfume will suit admirers of chypre, lovers of white flowers with a twist, and those looking for a versatile unisex scent with a sophisticated, natural feel. Anyone who enjoys tea notes and a subtle savoury edge will find much to admire.

Alba di Boboli is a graceful and well-crafted addition to the Accordi Olfattivi Firenze collection. It reinvents the floral chypre with a light touch, balancing freshness, warmth and a distinctly Florentine character. An excellent choice for connoisseurs of artisanal perfumery.
