Product Description

Linden Blossom Absolute is a luxurious aromatic extract from the fragrant flowers of the Tilia Cordata tree. This ingredient is prized in high-end perfumery and natural cosmetics for its luxurious floral scent that instantly feels soft, warm, and elegant.

Linden trees (Tilia genus) are widespread in Europe, Britain, and Ireland, with notable species being Tilia cordata (small-leaved lime) and the common lime. These trees are famous for their relationship with bees, which are attracted to the abundance of bloom and help pollinate the flowers, resulting in aromatic honey. Linden trees have been used for centuries for many purposes: the bark for rope, the leaves and fruit for culinary and medicinal uses, and the fragrant blossoms are traditionally harvested at full bloom in July and August for their maximum scent. When harvesting linden flowers, it’s important to use a clean material, such as a flat surface or fabric, for drying to preserve their quality.

With its natural complex scent profile, Linden Blossom Absolute has honeyed citrus and delicate green notes. It’s perfect for formulations where fragrance is key, for a calming and uplifting experience for skin and senses. This absolute is perfect for luxury facial creams, night serums, and hydrating gels. It enhances the product’s olfactory appeal and supports a healthy-looking complexion in formulations for dry, sensitive, or redness-prone skin.

Whether you’re creating boutique skincare or refining a signature blend, Linden Blossom Absolute gives a soft, indulgent finish to your entire product range.

Aromatic Profile

Linden Blossom Absolute is described as floral, sweet, and radiant with a nice, pleasant air of sophistication.

It opens with fresh, slightly green notes, settles into warm honey-like depths, and finishes with a smooth, almost creamy floral trail.

Unlike single-note oils, Linden Blossom Absolute is a ready-made perfume blend. It pairs well with complementary essential oils like neroli, sandalwood, rose or vetiver. Use sparingly as a little goes a long way.

Ideal Uses in Formulation

Due to its rich fragrance and skin-softening properties, Linden Blossom Absolute is suitable for a wide range of rinse-off and leave-on applications. Linden Blossom Absolute is used in the production of various personal care products, including creams, lotions, and perfumes.

It works well in:

• Facial creams and moisturisers

• Night repair serums

• Skin-soothing gels

• Hair conditioners and masks

• Body lotions and massage blends

• Botanical perfumes or balms

• Spa-quality body scrubs or wraps

For shampoo formulations, its aroma is particularly expressive when activated by the warmth and steam of the shower.

In conditioners and leave-on treatments, the scent lingers long after use, leaving hair delicately perfumed.
