TILIA by Marc-Antoine Barrois, launched in 2024 and composed by Quentin Bisch, explores the idea of white florals bathed in golden light through a refined, contemporary olfactory language. Its structure moves between floral transparency and a modern woody base, shaping a unisex Eau de Parfum with an elegant presence and a distinctive signature.
The opening feels airy and luminous, where linden and linden blossom unfold with a delicate impression that is at once green and softly honeyed. Jasmine sambac brings a more enveloping floral richness, while broom adds nuance and texture, enhancing the perfume’s natural, radiant character. Together, these top notes create a clear, almost sunlit atmosphere marked by quiet beauty and precision.
At the heart, heliotrope introduces a powdery softness and a velvety dimension that complements the glow of orange blossom. Vetiver is woven in with restraint, bringing contrast and structure so the composition never drifts too far into weightlessness. This balance between flower, air, and material gives TILIA a graceful coherence, where delicacy still carries presence.
The base of Ambroxan and Georgywood brings a more contemporary, smooth, and embracing finish. It extends the sense of brightness while dressing it in a polished woody texture that adds depth and sophistication. The result is a floral woody fragrance that feels modern, refined, and versatile, with the understated allure of quiet luxury.
Presented in a 100 ml Eau de Parfum concentration, TILIA reflects the creative world of Marc-Antoine Barrois with a carefully shaped olfactory aesthetic. It is a composition for those drawn to floral perfumes with a modern identity, poised between the tenderness of blossoms and the clean line of contemporary woods.
