Here the Lovers Swore Eternal Fidelity

Madeleine has enchanted me; it comes quite simply in a graceful bottle, the label rather inconspicuous and without much fuss. The scent is delicate, and the linden blossoms are almost tangible in their presence. In June and July, when the linden trees bloom and the bees buzz in the branches, the scent of linden flowers is unmistakable and hints at its wonderful honey aroma.
Madeleine hardly changes throughout its scent journey, and it doesn’t need to. Anyone who has stood under blooming linden trees knows what I mean. Almost like a complete composition, the visually rather unremarkable linden blossoms come sweetly fragrant and promise moments of calm and reflection.
Known as the village linden, they have stood at the center of many towns for a long time. Even today, the thick-trunked trees can still be seen, and sometimes benches still stand under the leafy canopy, inviting rest and lingering.
Madeleine is powdery-sweet and becomes wonderfully creamy as it develops. Almost like the scent evolution in nature, heavy and sweet in the summer midday heat, enticing and cozy in the afternoon, and soothingly calming in the evening.
Linden blossoms have a healing effect as tea, and Madeleine is my cuddle scent on days when nothing seems to go right, when I have gotten in my own way again, and I simply long for the embrace of a dear friend because my soul needs a little healing.

Summer Rain

No, I absolutely cannot smell any orange or mandarin aroma in Madeleine.
Madeleine is simply "only" linden blossoms with musk. Delicious linden blossoms and soft musk.
None of it is too much, although at first spray, your nostrils might flutter.
The linden blossoms here are so lovely, fluffy-green, radiant, and the musk is as soft as cotton.
With Madeleine, you feel "dressed" in a way that is not hyper-modern, but simply neat and appealing. I know some linden blossom fragrances that smell extremely "linden-y" (like Tilleul, for example), but Madeleine is great. It strongly reminds me of summer rain. Do you know that feeling when it’s been hot for days and you long for rain? You sit in the garden or in the city - somewhere - and see how suddenly the sky darkens and thick, rich clouds almost play billiards in the sky. And then, suddenly, it breaks loose. The sky opens up and wääääääääämm... warm, wet rain pours down. You immediately take off your shoes, roll up your pants, and jump and hop like a little child through the rain-soaked streets or the squeaky, slippery meadow... simply wonderful. Madeleine is a summer feeling. Although "she" also fits wonderfully into the cold season.
I thank you for the great swap and am glad to have been "brave" with this linden blossom fragrance ;-)

Joyful Ecstasy, Part Two

I can only join in Anguas' joyful ecstasy. This scent surprised me. I didn't expect much, but I received so much.
Actually, I don't particularly like linden blossoms, and generally, soft and relatively close-to-skin scents are not really my type, and I didn't expect too much from this fragrance... and now the unexpected has happened: I can hardly find words for the beauty of this scent.

Laura Tonatto describes the fragrance as a childhood memory, as a walk under blooming linden trees, among carpets of bellflowers, violets, and anemones, as the melange of these aromas with a powdery musk finish. And she categorizes it as floral chypre.

For me, Madeleine reveals itself in the first minutes with a strong, juicy, cheerful-fresh orange and mandarin aroma, which already seems softly rounded in the first moments - as if smelled through a soft focus.
While I am still enchanted by this fresh citrus softness, pure magic happens:
The linden blossoms bloom, mixing with the freshness of the citrus notes and with a dreamily beautiful, clean, creamy-soft musk, creating a scent character that, for me, is the epitome of softness. A gently aromatic, delicately sweet, fresh-creamy-powdery cloud.

The linden blossoms are lighter, more unobtrusive, and altogether "different" than I have encountered in linden blossom fragrances so far. There is nothing overly sweet, nothing bitter, no green nuances, nothing "piercing" or heavy, and also none of that sweetish, lukewarm warmth that quickly reminds me of linden blossom tea in other fragrances. Either this is a different variety of linden blossoms, or they have been combined in a completely different and new way, or Laura Tonatto is a genius... probably all three points apply here.
In any case, I perceive the linden blossoms "only" as a hint of fragrance. I do not smell directly at the blossoms, but I notice the authentic scent of summer when the air is laden with linden blossoms and a warm, fresh breeze carries this hint of fragrance.
Airy, unobtrusive, pleasantly cuddly sweet, but a sweetness that cannot be grasped, rather subtly resonates, like a small drop of very light honey mixed into a cream.

The main role for me is played by this cream, a very powdery, plush musk cream that is so bright and soft that it has a touch of vanilla (or there is a hint of vanilla in the scent). This dreamily powdery musk cream has also been refreshed with bright floral, fresh, and citrusy aromas. I do not smell any flowers individually, but I know that there must be some present. The scent is so much more than musk and linden blossoms.

A delicate, fresh-sweet fragrance. And a seemingly simple scent that may not be so simple after all. It could be that it is built much more complexly to maintain this impression of lightness and simplicity for so long.

Madeleine is not a particularly demanding scent for my nose; I would not describe it as elegant or as an evening fragrance.
It delivers to me a scent image of a "healed world," of vague childhood memories of carefree summer days, of a time when the summer months seemed to last endlessly with the feeling of unburdened freedom.
Despite its delicacy, it has surprisingly good longevity; for me, it is clearly perceptible for about 6 hours. The scent projection is unobtrusive, but present enough to make others come closer and ask, "What smells so good here?"

Phew, way too sweet for me, I almost need an insulin dose. Linden blossom syrup with vanilla on cream musk.

Laura brings home a scent. Lime cream (Neroli) - oranges - linden blossoms & a hint of jasmine in
a mossy musk bed. Braiding flowers in May & the neighbor boy carves a heart in a tree.

I love linden blossoms, but here I only find orange blossoms, soaked in very sweet vanilla honey. More of an oriental sweet.

It's quite dusty! The brand stays true to itself: complicated, sometimes very musky scents that lack lightness and charm.

Beautifully bright and understated.
Almost a linden solo.
For me, it feels more feminine somehow.

Why is the linden blossom hidden in a small, square tablet of glucose? I never liked glucose as a child!

Dust-sweet women's stuff.
And yet sticky like under the linden trees in summer.
Unisex? Please! No!
Sweet girls? Bring it on!

Pleasant linden blossom. Not as overpowering as in "Black Nectar." Subtle honey sweetness. But above all, a powdery musky-clean scent. A bit too soapy.
