Origin
Linden blossom is harvested from the flowers of Tilia species, commonly found in Europe and North America. The scent is typically captured through solvent extraction or enfleurage, as the flowers yield little essential oil via steam distillation. Natural linden absolute is rare and costly, so its effect is often recreated using blends of synthetic and natural materials.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use linden as a heart note to impart a gentle, transparent floral character, often paired with mimosa, neroli, and honey notes. It is valued for adding softness and a spring-like freshness to floral bouquets and green compositions. Linden blends well with citrus, light woods, and musks to enhance its airy, comforting qualities.
