D’ORSAY Tilleul is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1915, created by Olivia Giacobetti. Tilleul opens with Angelica, Linden Tree, and Watermelon, settles into a heart of Cyclamen and Petitgrain, and dries down to a base of Black Locust, Beeswax, and Hay. D’ORSAY's Tilleul carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent, Tilleul is either a naturalistic linden dream or a floral disinfectant. Some find the watermelon note fleeting and the drydown heavenly, while others are put off by a peculiar 'spicy' or 'toilet freshener' nuance. Approach with caution.

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.

About

Tilleul opens with a brisk, green watermelon rind, quickly ushering in the heart of blooming linden. This soft, sweet yellow floral is underscored by hints of petitgrain and a unique beeswax accord. As it settles, dry hay and a subtle honeyed warmth emerge, evoking a serene natural landscape with a touch of rustic charm.
