French Linden Blossom (Lime Blossom)

I recently purchased a bottle of this along with the matching body lotion, and I definitely am getting the linden. It's right up there with L'ete en Douce, Eau de Ciel and French Lime Blossom. It's not quite as good as Tilleul which to me is the most exquisite of all linden fragrances, but it is still remarkable especially considering that it costs considerably less than any of the other fragrances I've mentioned.

Nice summer linden blossom scent. Softly sweet and linear. Not my favorite summer frag, but it is nice in hot, humid weather. I wanted to use my bottle this morning and realized that it had turned or the scent had just faded to an echo of what it used to be. Lesson learned when buying natural perfume, be sure to use it up fast or buy a small amount. I purchased this only last spring and have always kept it stored in it's box. Disappointed......Boo!

I have been searching for a fragrance that smells like the Linden trees that grow in my neighborhood. The scent when they are in bloom is intoxicating to me. When I saw this perfume, I had to try it. I think it's nice, and they did manage to capture the scent of the flowers to a degree, but there are other Linden blossom fragrances I've tried that smell more realistic. This is more like an artist's interpretation of the flower than the actual flower. It just might be the wrong season to wear this so I'll put this sample away until spring and see if I get different results.

I bought this as a replacement for Jo Malone French Lime Blossom. Oh dear, not nice at all. To me JM FLB smells just like a linden tree in full blossom, perfect. The DSH smells really cheap and of synthetic generic white flowers. Not disgusting, just not linden. Very disappointed.
