Acca Kappa Tilia Cordata is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Luca Maffei. Tilia Cordata opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Linden Tree, Rose, Jasmine, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Clean Musk. Acca Kappa's Tilia Cordata carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive linden blossom, for better or worse. Some find it a realistic, honeyed floral; others are thrown off by a persistent green, almost cucumber-like note. If you're after a natural spring or summer scent, it's worth a sniff, but test before you commit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being intrusive. The natural, light floral character is perfect for casual outings and warm-weather activities, but its lack of overt sophistication means it's less fitting for formal events.

About

Tilia Cordata opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, sharpened by the green nuance of petitgrain and neroli. This quickly blossoms into a honeyed, delicate linden flower heart, bolstered by soft jasmine and magnolia, conjuring images of warm spring days. A subtle base of clean musk and cedar prevents it from becoming overly sweet, while a touch of amber and tonka bean adds a comforting, lingering warmth.
