Longing for lime blossom
Yes, I'm happy to admit it: Lehmann's "Lindenblüte", which is also sold as "N° 10 Linde Berlin" by Frau Tonis Parfums Berlin (the saleswoman in the store on Kantstraße told me this at the time), is a particularly typical and intense lime blossom fragrance.
I still come across it very often in early summer in the quiet residential streets of Berlin, on the side of Kurfürstendamm: It always fills me with shock at first, then pure joy at this powerful naturalness in the middle of the city.
Fragonard, as a fine-drawing, traditional perfume manufacturer, plants its blossoming, fragrant lime trees in a magnificent garden, surrounds them with harmonizing companions and thus creates a charming place of eternal, still fresh and spicy early summer with "Tilleul Cédrat" from the "Le Jardin de Fragonard" line.
After passing through an opening of citrus aromas in a cloak of green leaves that is a little too loud for me personally, I arrive at the blooming, fragrant heart of this southern garden Here they shine in lush white: the lime blossoms (which will certainly be harvested later for the traditional tea), a multitude of magnificent jasmine flowers, filled pompom-like or with large golden faces in the elegant leaf wreath and the more delicate, albeit no less fragrant, orange blossoms.
They all only really exude their rich beauty at dusk, but then they are exuberant and all-encompassing.
The creators at Fragonard, however, succeed in defusing this original, white "scent club" and transforming it into enveloping, enveloping early summer joy and cheerfulness.
To achieve this, they make use of the spicy-silky, yet woody-aromatic warmth of cedar and a few cleverly placed, here only slightly animalistic musk accents.
The result is a flacon that skilfully packs a longing for light and warming sunshine, while at the same time conjuring up fragrant, smile-inducing memories.
"Tilleul Cédrat" is truly not a fragrance hot-blood in terms of sillage and longevity, but rather a pleasantly quiet companion throughout the day (once I have overcome the citrusy "door opener" to this garden); although a little re-spraying is necessary here and there: but who cares about that?
Fragonard's rich garden fragrance spreads a good feeling; it offers a place under blossoming trees in the fresh aromatic green of a place of longing in the south of France.
What more could you want on a rainy February morning?
