Launched in 2024 by Marc-Antoine Barrois and crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Tilia marks a significant stylistic shift for the brand. Known for its leathery and austere signature, this fragrance veers toward a sunnier, floral-fresh direction that some reviewers have noted reads as more mainstream. The composition opens with lime blossom and jasmine sambac, creating a bright, honeyed green aroma that transitions into a heart of orange blossom and heliotrope, before settling on vetiver and ambroxan for an earthy, powdery base. This shift has earned Tilia critical acclaim, winning 'Perfume Extraordinaire' and 'Independent Fragrance' at the FiFi Awards UK 2025 and taking home the Niche Fragrance category at the Vogue Beauty Awards 2025.

Application Tips
Apply Tilia in light layers — the lime blossom and jasmine sambac notes are bright but fleeting. The vetiver base develops slowly over time, so give it at least an hour to fully settle on your skin. It reads best close to the skin rather than projecting heavily into a room.
