## Essence
Tilia Cordata is Luca Maffei's fresh green linden blossom for Acca Kappa. Petitgrain, neroli, citrus, linden, magnolia, jasmine, rose, white musk, cedar, amber, and tonka create a transparent floral that is more leafy and airy than honeyed.

## Scent Profile
The opening is green, citrusy, and clean: petitgrain, neroli, bergamot, and lemon. It can feel slightly sharp at first.

The heart is linden blossom supported by magnolia, jasmine, and rose. It is pale, fresh, and lightly white-floral, with a rainy or vegetal side for some wearers. The base is quiet white musk, cedar, amber, and tonka, giving a soft powdery finish without much weight.

## Performance
Performance is modest. It stays close, trails lightly, and may need refreshing. Clothing can help, but this remains a delicate floral rather than a projecting one.

## Wearing Context
Tilia Cordata belongs to spring and early summer daytime. It is clean enough for office and close quarters, casual enough for daily wear, and fully unisex. It is not for evening force or heavy honeyed linden expectations.

## Comparisons & DNA
Laboratorio Olfattivo Tiglio Mirabilis is the closest comparison, with Acca Kappa's version warmer, more floral, and more powdery. D'Orsay Tilleul, Jo Malone French Lime Blossom, and Marc-Antoine Barrois Tilia sit in the wider linden family.

## Reception
Wearers praise its realistic linden impression, delicacy, nostalgia, and value. Criticism focuses on weak sillage, modest longevity, and a green-vegetal character that may not satisfy those seeking lush honeyed blossom.

## Versions & Reformulation
It is a single 2014 Eau de Parfum composition with no known reformulation.

## Acquisition Notes
Tilia Cordata is commonly found in 100 ml and smaller Acca Kappa formats. Decants are less common than for mainstream niche lines, so official smaller bottles are useful. Buy through Acca Kappa or authorized stockists.
