I'm a lime tree!
A few years ago I was allowed to take part in a weekend seminar of the Weleda company: it went through their entire range of anthroposophical medicines and our brains soon began to glow with so much input. In order to save us participants from the total overstimulation, however, a few moments of relaxation were built in - a mutual hand massage, stomping our feet and at the same time clapping our hands in a completely different rhythm, and also a - so I guess - guided meditation in which we should close our eyes and imagine that we are a tree.
I haven't thought about this meditation exercise since, until - yes, until I sprayed Tilia. While I was still a birch tree in my thoughts at the time, the scent of Tilia was soon clear:
I'm a limey! All the way... However, the start is (just like the meditation) still a bit uneven. A little dull, maybe because of the coriander, and as if the individual (scented) building blocks still have to be found. But then it becomes very "real". I not only smell linden, no, I feel like a linden tree. Or are they rather impressions of a linden tree? First it becomes sweet like linden blossoms, linden blossom honey, linden blossom tea. Then it becomes fresher and more airy; before my mind's eye I see fresh green linden leaves, swaying in the spring wind. In between a hay note is added, as if the flowers and leaves had dried up a little in the high summer sun...
For me, "Tilia" is an extremely multi-faceted linden scent that is not limited to the typical linden blossom, no, it involves the whole tree. But as successful as I find the reproduction of a lime tree here - it will not be part of my collection. Reason: on the one hand, three (!) lime blossom scents have already crept into my collection, and this although I am not a real fan of this scent. But above all, my clear favourite of the small series is "Salvia", which I find simply wonderful with its alpine herbal note
