Description

Tilia is Marc-Antoine Barrois's luminous ode to linden blossom — a hyper-realistic, honeyed floral built to feel like carefree summer days.

Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch for the house of Marc-Antoine Barrois (Paris) and launched in 2024, Tilia is the brand's first floral-centric Eau de Parfum. Bisch renders linden not as dusty herbal tea but as a vibrant, sun-warmed blossom with apricot and jasmine, grounded by a soft woody base. Reviewers describe it as a "marmite" scent — fans love its authentic, vibrating linden, while it stays unmistakably radiant and optimistic on skin.
