Tilleul is a fragrance of youth and fairy spring forest. This perfume is as intoxicating as youth and young trees in spring. The gentle Tilleul or linden takes you back to spring, no matter which season is now. You feel like you are standing under a tree on which small, green, sticky leaves are growing and spring is flourishing around you and inside you. The top notes include lemon blossom and watermelon. The heart contains cyclamen and linden blossom. The base includes acacia tree, bee wax and hay. The perfume was created in 1915 and was reformulated by Olivia Giacobetti in 2008.

I allways loved linden blossom also as tea. It is the love tree in the Romanian poetry and in my home city there are lots of linden trees and especially one is UNESCO protected, as it was used by our national poet to write his love hymnes under it.
So, as I am transplanted to Northern Germany, where summer cold rain washes often blossom smells away, I was really delighted to find this very well done perfume. IT'S LINDEN BLOSSOM SCENT PURE. And I say everything with this (warm summer, love,but also cold winter with a hot cup of linden tea).
By the way, I met my boyfriend in a warm summer in Middle Germany, where my beloved scent and our love developed wonderfully...
I love Linden Blossom trees when they bloom in the Spring/Summer. It is an amazing scent. I truly love this clean floral scent. The D'Orsay Tilleul, is the only fragrance that I have tried that comes close to the actual blooming tree.
The Jo Malone Lime Blossom fragrance does not even come close to this scent. Again, if I am walking through Central Park, or down my street, where there are Linden Trees blooming, the D'Orsay fragrance matches that scent is beautiful to wear.
I have also tried the L'Artisian scent that has Linden notes and it does not come close to the actual tree.
Let me know what you think, but this is the best. D'Orsay also make this scent in a large body splash bottle to apply liberally all over your body for the summertime heat.
Yes, it's a spring/summer fragrence indeed. But I need it in autumn/winter, when I miss the smell of linden blossoms, even though I don't like the opening with watermelone note. It disappears on my skin after about half an hour, otherwise I would not be able to wear this fragrence. Tilleul is a gorgeous scent. I love love love it.
This is an incredible summer fragrance! Warm,sweet linden dominates, while hay and honey notes are clearly perceptible in their supportive roles-
A nice thing about this fragrance- the warmer you are, the more it blossoms-
(Poizan- I got my sample from an online decant supplier called The Posh Peasant that I found on Google.)
I would love to try it, but can't find any place to buy it online... any ideas?
Yes, Lorenna.
It is suitable for spring-summer really.
I love this one and own a bottle.
In white, yellow and so bright, unsuitable for the darkness.
I wear this only on a sunny day.
Indeed lovely,it is my favourite.It's so fresh and inocent...I find it more suitable for late spring-early summer.
Oh, this is lovely! A totally feminine, serene, pleasurable scent to wear and feel good! It is also very elegant, never on the cheap edge, very natural smelling. It's a fragrance for all moments, especially nice in spring and summer as a refined daytime scent. If you wear this you will walk among linden trees and feel careless!
Sillage is average and lasting power very good.
The Friction de Nuit is also very nice!
Tilleul is a spring/summer dream in white! I can smell the linden but also some fresh white lily (I know its not in here but it smells a bit like it)and the mouthwatering melon in the beginning.Later on it gets soft and clean and like fresh mountain hay... very lovely scent and also in my Top10..special also because i never smelled anything like fresh linden-hay before! great one
I find Tilleul weird for my tastes,I believe that the note of water melon,angelica and cyclamen do not blend good.The green ingredients and the flowers gives a result more like a toilet freshener.
This is one of my absolute favorite late winter/early spring scents. It is extremly multi faceted and simple at the same time. I belive in Tilleul when it tells me that linden blossoms smells this way. It has fruity, funny and unexpected water melon notes in the top, usually not a fav for me, but in Tilleul it works. Tilleul is almost magic to me, swirling colors like bright linden green, pale golden yellow, creamy white with baby pink
bows around...
The hay note warms it up in a really nice way in the base note.
A must have for me and a must try for most people interested in really great perfume.
Too much watermelon at the opening touched with a bit of cyclamen. Love to eat watermelon, but don't necessarily want to smell like it. Luckily it settles fairly quickly and the linden comes forward with a bit of greenery too. It's only so so to me. Just a bit too fresh for my tastes. I'd prefer it if it had a warmer base, a bit more linden and less watermelon.
looking for "nafia de france" since 1967. fresno calif spelling could be different. this was a small pocket book container white in color with light blue center strip
completely agree w/ the reviews - absolutely gorgeous.
there are a lot of linden trees in my street and I was always like 'OMG, I have to find a scent that smells like this.
finally I found it. the best linden based frag, and one of the best scents in general.
it is rather simple, but it does have a twist: linden + mimosa + a sightly bitter note, just to make the concoction more interesting.
it definitely qualifies for my top 10.
I like it so much! Very nice scent! It is similar to lime blossom, but much deeper scent.
I love this fragtance and was lucky enough to find some at Marshalls!
The linden scent is pure bliss and the cyclamen and locust add to the luscious wood blossom effect.
A stunning scent that evokes summer and warm breezes
