About
Tilia by Marc-Antoine Barrois is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Tilia was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Lime (Linden) Blossom, Jasmine Sambac and Broom; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Heliotrope and Vetiver; base notes are Ambrofix™ and Georgywood. Simple. Solar. Smiling. It is the scent of everlasting summer. Of holidays that never end. Of long lazy lunches with friends, out in the countryside, around a big wooden table. Of flowers that just keep on blooming. Tender verdancy, pollen, honey from the linden tree with its lovely heart-shaped leaves, an emblem of softness and flexibility for the Celts. The honeyed, apricot inflexions of broom. The tender powder of heliotrope. A bucolic bouquet made still richer with a sprig of velvety jasmine Sambac. Underlined, like a stroke of shade intensifying the radiance of an afternoon in the sun, by the smoky earthiness of vetiver... The first of a constellation of floral fragrances, Tilia is also, for its creator Marc-Antoine Barrois and his long-time accomplice, the perfumer Quentin Bisch, the name of an imaginary star. The one that shines on happy days. An ode to simplicity and optimism.
