This obscurity is one that has limited record of its origins: we don't exactly know for certain if this was initially released to department stores of if it was direct to drugstore retail, but either way, it is truly a unique composition, even amongst the cornucopia of colorful 80s men's powerhouse fougeres and chypres.
What strikes me about Bozzini is how it really is a minimalist composition built around some uncommon notes for its time. Take blackcurrant for example, which really makes its fruity, sappy, almost ammoniac presence known in the open. The only other fragrance I know of that uses blackcurrant/cassis to this effect from that decade is Diptyque's L'Ombre Dans L'eau, but with Bozzini, in place of a rose there is green tea, yet another uncommon note for the time period. What my nose detects may or may not be in fact the green tea note intended, but there is this tannic, almost astringent quality as we reach the middle of the development, along with the plushest leather, like brushed suede, a new pair of Clark's Wallabees.
Then there are these musks that surely have now been restricted or banned, but they sure are radiant and refulgent; these heavy molecules somehow still levitate from the skin. They are reminiscent of the way certain fabric softeners smelled thirty or more years ago, and I mean that in the best possible way, and there seems to be the tiniest touch of Animalis base. The drydown is truly unusual for its time.
Sure, this is no naturalistic creation, but the synthetic vibes are loveable and compelling. Far more compelling than so many artistic renderings in the current niche world. In fact, this could be mistaken as a niche in a blind test. The mysterious Bozzini is truly one of the most curious and unique fragrances in my collection.

The opening resembles Swiss Army, which is fair because the description says the fragrance is trying to evoke the Alps, and Swiss Army isn't bad. After a few minutes, it progresses into OH NO!!! IT'S THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN!!!! HE'S SWITCHED TO A HIGH FIBER DIET OF BLACK CURRANTS AND HE'S USING ME TO WIPE HIS ASS WITH!!! AAAARGH!!!!
Now I will have to immolate myself to get rid of the stench.
