Tilia Marc-Antoine Barrois 2024

I haven't had a crush like this for a long time. Love at first sight is rare for me, I usually fall in love with a fragrance slowly, sometimes it's just a strong liking, feelings on the back burner, so to speak. Which of course doesn't stop me from buying the fragrance. After all, as a victim of capitalism, I need my little serotonin high after a successful shopping trip.

I've read a lot about Tilia in the forum over the last few weeks. The notes appealed to me and I was simply curious about this spring fragrance with its highly praised performance. So I ordered a bottle from the souk, which arrived in my letterbox a few days later - unfortunately the bottle was broken, the envelope was soaked and my mood hit rock bottom.
However, I was immediately impressed by the wonderful fragrance, the envelope smelled so wonderfully fresh, flowery, warm and sexy that I immediately ordered a 30 ml bottle. In the meantime, the envelope was allowed to scent the inside of my car.
The bottle arrived yesterday and I have to say, this is probably the beginning of a great love story. Yes, Tilia is definitely synthetic, but in the best sense. Nothing is scratchy or distractingly noticeable. The honey note contributes such a pleasant, unobtrusive sweetness, the floral notes make me constantly think of spring and dream of warmer days. The longevity is really good, with 3 sprays in the early morning I can still smell myself in the afternoon. Incidentally, the spray head is also absolutely fantastic - a fine but powerful mist, not too pinpoint.
Even though the fragrance is marketed as unisex and according to reviews many male users also use it, I see the fragrance more on female readers.
With Tilia I'm really looking forward to the coming months!
