Floral Woody Linden

Linden very similar to its brother Tiglio mirabilis from Laboratorio Olfattivo but ... different.
Small differences that create two different planes and two different directions.
While for the Lab.Olfattivo we are more on a salty-musky plane, here there is much more of a floral and woody part that make it warmer and more powdery.
I liked both and use them alternately. Also on this one it lasts well on skin and clothes, but low trail.
Excellent value for money.

Green, greener, greenest

If there is supposed to be linden in the scent, then it's really in microdoses. The cucumber takes the lead here with a fully packed note! Someone must have mixed a splash of Carnal Flower into the cucumber lotion. Disappointed and still searching for linden scent.

Strict Linden

After Tilleul, this is another linden scent that I am testing within a short time, so the linden smell is better in my memory. And with Tilia Cordata (which is the technical term for the small-leaved lime), you get a rather headless (since there is hardly a top note present) linden fragrance. Green, authentic, but with occasionally popping, piercing flowers.

The scent:
The scent starts off quite green and smells like, well,… fresh leaves. This is the linden, I assume. It is a very pleasant, fresh scent, as if you were hiking in spring. Bergamot, lemon, neroli… I can’t perceive any of this, it’s almost as if the top note doesn’t exist at all.
The floral notes that remain in the background make the scent a bit,… yes, more floral, which also makes it somewhat stuffy or even a bit strict smelling.
I think the jasmine adds a slight, sweet note, but it is very weak, so it cannot be described as sweet.
Later, the stuffy-smelling flowers fade a bit or their stuffiness decreases.
In the base, a light cedar note comes in, amber and tonka bean are rather weakly present, so the linden scent remains in the foreground.

The longevity and sillage:
The longevity is quite good at over eight hours.
The sillage is actually still quite okay when sprayed on. The projection naturally decreases over time, but fortunately, it doesn’t become close to the body until much later.

The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular with light green fragrance liquid. The label on the front has a dotted border. It features the Acca Kappa logo, as well as the name of the fragrance. The cap is cylindrical and chrome-plated. It all looks quite simple, but still nicely done.

Yes, with Tilia Cordata, you (actually, a woman :D) get exactly what the name of the fragrance suggests, a linden scent. This is authentically unique, not too weak, and smells quite good. The floral notes become strong and stuffy at times, fade a bit towards the end (but do not disappear) and make the scent slightly floral-sweet.

As you might guess, this is a scent that fits well in spring and winter. I think it can be very well used as a daytime fragrance, whether in the office, shopping, or otherwise. It is just too weak for going out or partying and would quickly get lost among all the other fragrances.

Anyone looking for a nice linden scent can check this fragrance out. However, I find that Tilleul is significantly better, although this one comes across as more floral.

Tandaradei - (almost) without complaints

Linden blossoms have fascinated me since childhood; there were several trees in a playground, and as a hunter and gatherer, it must have been in my blood from a very young age: I collected the blossoms and my mother made a tea that I still remember to this day.
It's no wonder that I am interested in linden scents. During the GDR era, I once had an expensive linden blossom shampoo, so pricey that I used it sparingly. Back then, a perfume like this would have been unthinkable.
Now I have the choice, and here comes a ladder of the candidates I have tested so far: "Zeta" - not bad, but more promotion than result; I was a bit annoyed by the sweetness, which I am not generally averse to in fragrances, but this sweetness flattened what I like about certain blossoms: the almost overwhelming opulence at the edge of tolerability, mercilessly subdued.
"Tilieul" appealed to me much more, more noble, more thought-out.
And now the current Olympian. Here is THE linden blossom that comes closest to my linden blossom - authentic, yet not quite. And that’s the trick. The numbing potency has been slightly toned down, just minimally; I would describe it with a delicate green "frost" note. The top note as described here: Forget it! Immediately the linden comes, already for me indefinably citrusy, but immediately linden, linden, linden. There’s still magnolia: And that could be, similar to the tulip, it has a somewhat delicately blunt demeanor, naturally aromatic, lovely without slipping into direct cuteness. Again, a mosaic piece, very harmonious. Slowly, the fragrance gains floral momentum, more jasmine than rose.
It becomes silkier, gentler, and glides further into the woody, tonka-supported base, where the linden blossoms gradually transition into a gray-green spherical form.
However, my Olympian gets a few deductions for the sillage note: The sillage is in the medium range, which I find acceptable; the skin proximity fits. The longevity could certainly be longer.
Nevertheless: Here I am reminded of the joke where a man is looking at flowers in a shop and asks the saleswoman: Are they artificial or natural? - To which she replies: "Naturally artificial!" - Naturally artificial means here: Quite artful.
