Which Should You Buy?
Tilia delivers pure, unadulterated sunshine in a bottle, perfectly capturing the essence of blooming linden trees. But its beastly performance and distinct yellow floral sweetness divides opinions - prepare for a potent, sometimes cloying, experience that's definitely not for everyone.
Perfume Parlour's budget take on Marc-Antoine Barrois Tilia - a sunlit, honeyed linden-blossom soliflore of lime blossom and jasmine over powdery heliotrope, orange blossom and soft amber-woods. PP captures the solar, intoxicating springtime character of the niche original, though it reads a touch flatter and less radiant, with Tilia's famously enormous longevity trimmed. A glorious blossom scent for a fraction of the Barrois price.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Tilia's strong sillage and remarkable longevity, coupled with its intense floral sweetness, make it less ideal for enclosed office spaces. It shines brightest in casual spring and summer settings, perfect for dates or everyday wear where its vibrant character can freely unfold.
Seasons
The honeyed, solar linden-blossom character is the essence of springtime and carries beautifully into summer; it is too light and floral for cold weather.
Occasions
Its radiant, romantic floral suits casual daytime and date wear, with enough polish for the office, while not bold enough for formal statement settings.
