Linden Blossom Absolute opens with an almost edible honey sweetness, immediately transporting you to a grove of blooming Tilia trees humming with bees. This extraordinarily rare absolute captures the narcotic warmth of sun-warmed blossoms with their distinctive citrus-green freshness. The material's rich farnesol content provides exceptional radiance while maintaining the delicate tea-like transparency that makes linden so prized.
Utilise this precious absolute when creating compositions that demand authentic floral opulence without heaviness. Its honey-beeswax character transforms simple florals into luxurious nectarous bouquets. The material's natural complexity allows it to bridge bright citrus top notes with deeper woody bases, creating seamless transitions that synthetic recreations cannot achieve.
Perfumers treasure its ability to add golden warmth to white florals without masking their individual characters. Combine with jasmine and orange blossom for intoxicating summer night accords. Build unexpected depth by pairing its honeyed sweetness with green tea notes and soft musks for contemporary clean luxury.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
