Onder de Linde

the story

This fragrance was inspired by Vermeer’s Milkmaid,. I felt most inspired by the protagonist’s setting: Dutch countryside in early summer. The stars of the fragrance are lilac and linden blossom. What makes these notes interesting is that there are no natural extracts of these flowers available, like you would have with rose or jasmine, for example. Instead, I had to reconstruct them using aroma molecules, which, if you ask me, is the true magic of making perfumes: creating a realistic scent of something that cannot be extracted from nature.
