Excessive hype
I bought this perfume (30 ml) following recommendations from friends.
With great enthusiasm, I sprayed the perfume on myself and to my surprise, it turns out that at first I was 'blind to the smell' because it is synthetic and I understand that this happens to other people, it really took me a few times to start smelling this perfume.

Today, to my delight, I smell it and I can say that it is a perfume with a nice but not exciting smell with excellent longevity and a great sillage.

What is certain is that I will not buy it again after I finish the small bottle I have.

7/10.

Stunning
“You go under the green lime trees on the promenade.
Lime trees smell good on June evenings!
The air so sweet, it makes you close your eyes"
These words by Rimbaud, in their apparent simplicity, perfectly describe what this fragrance is: the term I would give it is ecstatic.
Linden flowers’ aromahave refers to simple things, to passing by while walking and always being surprised by the smell of its flowers, by the heart shape of its leaves, and, for a moment, thinking about how beautiful nature is, thinking how beautiful the things are that we often take for granted.
Tilia is a wonderful fragrance, with lime tree in all its parts, even the sweet and honeyed one, sustained by jasmine, heliotrope and woody notes that make it an elegant and delicate symphony.
Stunning, to always wear, it never gets boring, just like the aroma of the lime tree flowers.
Exceptional performances.
It makes me go into ecstasy and causes a feeling of extreme well-being in me, just like Monet's “The Water Lilies”.

Smiles on a calm summer afternoon
A new release from this creative duo is always an event that generates high expectations.
I confess that I had some doubts because:
1 - In general, I don't like florals (especially rose and/or tuberose) with the exception of aromas with yellow wild flowers (immortelles, chamomile, gorse, broom).
2 – I'm always afraid of the aroma of excessive synthetic bombs dominating the fragrance.
Well, here was the exception that breaks the rule. It is IMHO a floral for both sexes and not a perfume dedicated to the female sex.
The flowers here are country, soft and fleeting.
Heliotrope (a powdery “vibe” reminiscent of almonds) dominates a little in the opening, but soon the broom takes over the olfactory landscape with the linden flower less prominent and in the background.
On the other hand, this fragrance also shows how Ambroxan can be well incorporated and with the appropriate percentage. An example that others should follow.
The perfume has 2 phases. The initial one is floral and lasts 1 to 2 hours. I confess that I didn't feel the lime mentioned on the MAB website.
Then in the 2nd phase Vetiver and wood dominate. The Vetiver is fabulous and reminds me of Encelade's Vetiver, which in turn reminded me of the great Vetiver from the middle of the last century and which I had never encountered again until this reunion in Encelade and Tilia.
It has similar behavior to Ganymede. Enormous tenacity and sillage, but it is not intrusive to the point of bothering those nearby.
Like a super elegant and mysterious person with a special aura that appears and all eyes turn to her as if by magic as she walks in silence. The perfume provides an exceptional quality and “magnetic” grandeur. However, the gaze goes into the distance and therefore the person does not notice the murmurs of admiration around them. You don't need to try to get noticed because you are naturally admired. In other words, it is a fragrance that is discreet because none of the notes are excessive.
Quentin Bisch unexpectedly manages to create an aroma to rival Ganymede at the top of the brand's perfume rankings.
A solar, optimistic creation that provokes a feeling of happiness. Like smiles on a calm summer afternoon or like the golden light of kisses emerging from the dark on a warm night.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
What a disgusting and intriguing oddity at the same time! I find it kind of repulsive, but instead of rushing to wash it off, I glue my nose to my wrist again and again (not that I need to, as it projects like crazy), almost obsessively, almost masochistically. "Here, let's make me nauseous again!" :)) Until, after a while, I come to no longer find it repugnant, just fascinating.

My problem was that I thought it was impossible to describe. Help arrived from where I least expected it, from none other than science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick, with his bestseller "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".

I therefore declare the following:
Tilia is the electric sheep on the roof that quietly ruminates on radioactive linden blossoms, turning them into metal poop.

Perfect non-perfume
Tilia warrants my first full review.

When I first tested it I was like no I don't like it .. well I think might actually like it .. no I love it.. not sure I do though.. but I DO like it .. no I think I love it. If you feel the same, just give it some time..

I decided that Tilia is the perfect non-perfume for me. As a highly sensitive person, who gets sensory overload quite quickly, Tilia is a safe haven and a well of comfort to me. On days where I already wake up with a headache and feel like any sensory stimulus might be too much, Tilia is the perfect choice. It is this lovely and quiet scent, that always lingers in the background but never takes control. You might not smell it for a few hours but then you get a whiff of something light and beautiful and you wonder what it is until you notice that it is actually you.

It is a fluffy and fresh somewhat woody, somewhat floral honey scent, that is just a little sweet but not overly so. Its performance is great and it will give you a gentle cloud to carry with you all day while never overwhelming you or your surroundings.

I can't compare it to any other perfume as I feel it is quite unique in its scent profile but imagine warm, whipped up blossom honey in the sun.

To be fair, I did not get any compliments so far and I also don't think that it will be a compliment-magnet in the future as the projection seems rather intimate and too gentle to be noticed by many. But I do believe that people surrounding you will feel that you smell wonderful, without being able to put their finger on what it is exactly.

Overall, I do love it very much and I am looking forward to many days, where it will provide comfort to me.

An intriguing scent that moves between citrusy laundry detergent (soapy/clean/citrusy) and walking into a linden grove (woody/citrus).

Linden here is transformed from a mellow yellow to a bright, citric floral that is almost candied and energetic. The world is better for it.

It's hard to predict success, but I recommend checking first because some people are "blind" to this scent because it's too synthetic.

Absolutely nuclear ambroxan floral. Perfectly unisex if you’re confident. Less feminine than they say. If you like Myslf you’ll like this.

Very long lasting on clothes, citrusy floral, very late spring under a tree in the sun, with a tangy lemonade.

Not original (Fleur Narcotique, Valaya adjacent), meaning it's a fresh-floral w/ a prominent synthetic tone. Performs worse than other MABs.
