Tilleul

NOSE: Quentin Bisch

FIRST IMPRESSION:  Linden Blossom

PERSONALITY:  Honey, Florals

LINGERING NOTES: Amber

STYLE: Floral

The smell of linden in full boom erupts with a wild floral character; dripping with indulgent warm honeyed notes. The woody mark of ambroxan and the added musk brings strength and volume to this rural embrace.

In the garden of Le Galion’s private hotel in Neuilly, there grew a silver linden tree. In June, the breeze carried innocent-seeming aromas towards Paul Vacher. He created this fragrance as a tribute to this typically Parisian tree, and as a venture into a less well-trodden path in floral scents.

“We often think of white flowers when we talk about floral sensuality. But here, that role is filled wonderfully by the linden tree, with its accents of honey and musk. A clear construction, surprisingly modern in that it does not beat around the bush.”

– Quentin Bisch, perfumer
