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.

I'm testing it right now: that's exactly how the scent is. I don't smell anything citrusy, just green leaves, aquatic, and coumarin. Lime and synthetic cedar only at the very end, I think it's more like quasi-lime. Lime scent is different, in my opinion.
