Reviews of Tilleul| iodine ItalyShow all reviews | The opening is perfect: fresh and juicy like a ripe watermelon, shy and bold like a magenta cyclamen lurking in the forest. It lasts just a while, before the eponymous notes settle in, clean and fresh and windy. I would adore it, if it weren’t a tiny bit too clean... The drydown strengthens on musky, soapy, waxy notes, while the pungent herbaceous note lingers far too long for my tastes. In the end I feel this scent cold and distant from skin, unable to warm up and melt in it. Too bad, I am a great fan of Olivia Giacobetti and love deeply the natural scent of lime blossoms , but this one doesn’t suit me at all. 20th June, 2011. (Last Edited: 30th June, 2011.) |
![]() Off-Scenter Show all reviews | I’ve long been eager to try D’Orsay’s rarely available Tilleul. Since I love green floral scents in general, and the smell of June linden (tilleul) blossoms in particular, I expected to love Tilleul. It was with much suspense that I applied some of the sample that finally came my way, and I’m delighted to report that within minutes Tilleul established a convincing simulacrum of linden trees in bloom. Unfortunately, that’s also just about all it does. 25th May, 2010. |

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 that lasted through the life of the fragrance. 22nd April, 2010. |

| purplebird7 United StatesShow all reviews | I love linden blossoms. They are joyous, green and sweet, yet wild and grassy. This is a reilable imitation of linden blossom, a feat accomplished with a balance of green, mildy fruity, tangy and sweet notes, foremost of which I smell the rind of watermelon and some grassy florals. Really, it is hard to describe. I am impressed that this perfume originated in 1955, is still available, and yet so few Americans have been exposed to linden soliflore. I tried the EDT, but I would recommend a stronger concentration. For those who have trouble finding this brand, Diptyque also has a Tilleul which is similar. 6th May, 2008. |
![]() La Senora United StatesShow all reviews | Love it and i'm a brunette! it's spring and summer-y. My husband loves it on me too. The dry down is not non existant just a hush of scent which I love for work. I do not attribute an age to this fragrance but a delicacy. I am a Musc Ravageur person (!) so Tilleul is a real 180 degrees in every way. It's non citrus-y, natrually earthiness is fresh and feminine. So, like wearing the color red, black or violet, it's all about mood and style. 13rd November, 2007. |
