Linden Blossom Absolute 50%
Adam Michael has this to say “The material offered here is linden blossom absolute diluted in 50% dpg which results in a pourable product and one that is much easier to work with. That said this material will still benefit from bain-marie before it becomes entirely pourable. The aroma to my nose is warm floral with clear lemon and honey qualities in the heart. The base notes comprise of sweet floral, green and herbal tea nuances. A beautiful material that emits a very different fragrance to that of the living plant on a summer’s evening.”
Botanical Name: Tilia x vulgaris
Origin: France

I absolutely adore this.It’s sweet like honeyed flowers but has incredible fresh,airy quality that makes it so relaxing.It’s like bottled sunshine and happiness.

I think Adam seriously undersells this. I find it exquisite in it’s natural understated elegance. Sober masculine tea-like and, yes, there’s honey, but it’s not very sweet. Classy as a top note in a modern cyphre or fougere. Could also fit a gender neutral scent – and obviously in anything feminine depending on how it’s paired.

There is a subtle, understated mystery, evena conundrum in this scent, that took me over a year to unravel:
I love the all-permeating, mood-lightening charmer of a scent, of the blooming Linden trees in early summers in my home Berlin, which is full of them, the whole streets are lined up, intoxicating the whole city in a suave tide of the gilded bloom.
Once I’ve bought this essence ove a year ago, perhaps a subconscious pre-set dissapointment initially prevented me from a proper use of it – I’d opened a bottle, smelled the compressed opaque whiff of it – soooo not resembling the the desired and wanted airy beauty of the real aroboreal flowers – and would close it back, putting it in the farthest corner with the other least used materials.
However, provoked again by the seasonal blooming flood of the Lindens all around, in a feat of spontaneity I’ve broke the spell of dismissal and instead daubbed profusely both of forearms with sticky jammy substance – that smells straight fom the bottle like old-fashioned dry fruits (prunes and quinces), vintage herbal apothecary and an artisan tea-shop.
An then the magical Illumination happened – the scent has finally! opened up for me:
once warmed-up on the skin and initially lifted off, a tangy, piquant sweet-n-sour, savory lush Honey gave an opening greeting, immediately followed by dark-fruits marmelade, mingled with carob chocolate and a whole meadow of summer blooming weeds (from hay to chamomiles) – a mixture of the most delicate herbal bitterness and an unobtrusive, soothing sweetness speckled with pollen and rosehips syrup’ undertoned glints…
And then – finally! – the coveted apparition of the genuine floral Linden trickery became tangible – while hidden by rich layers of other notes, the elfine floral soul is lurking there, however hauntingly elusive.
Diffusing further and drying down, the scent transforms its sweetness into more earthy shades resembling the most suave decades-aged Vetivers echoing with the murmurs of prunes, powdered herbal teas and Carob compote.
Overall, the richness of this absolute comes in waves billowing between savory and sweet, prevalence – with utter delicacy, delighting with its soft, clear and tenacious, tastefully subdued affluence.
This essence is equally fit for white witches, elegant ladies (and gentlemen) with a taste for subtlety, sophisticated gourmands and the seekers of aromatic riddles…
And now the bottle of Linden Absolute dwells in front of me – among Roses, Labdanums and Sandalwoods.

Very beautiful, a combination of slight honey feel, white flowers, leaves and green tea, with more earthy depth than I thought. It seems that Tilia x vulgaris is less fruity and less sweet than the more common Tilia cordatau, but more like green tea. It is quite elegant.
I plan to create a scent with it as the theme. At present, I am preliminarily combining it with Dai Dai flower, Nigella Damascena Flower, and Siam Wood, which smells good.

Olor idéntico a la flor. El mismo olor que hallo en los sobres de flor de tilo para preparar una infusión. Olor dulce, seco, cálido. Delicioso. Igual que pasear bajo tilos floridos.

I actually came to know about Hermitage Oils looking for this product. Since I had to buy other things to be able to place an order, I did it and fell in love with the products.
This Absolute, per se, is just amazing. The scent is something I would guess a faerie queen might exude when visiting the mortal realm, very agrestic and, at the same time, majestic. It’s got claws (sharp mellifluous nuances) hidden among silky layers of beauty (delicate flowery aspects mixed with airy green whispers).
This isn’t the easiest material to work with, even diluted in 50% DPG, but it is manageable and I haven’t found issues to mix it, yet. It goes fantastically well with Elemi, Lemon Myrtle and Cedar (this is, actually, the backbone of my future endeavor).
