Marc-Antoine Barrois Tilia Eau de Parfum is a luminous, elegant and uplifting unisex fragrance inspired by the feeling of an endless summer. Created in 2024 by renowned perfumer Quentin Bisch, Tilia is the Maison's first floral fragrance, built around the delicate beauty of linden blossom and a radiant bouquet of white and yellow florals.
Tilia opens with the fresh, honeyed character of linden blossom, accompanied by the apricot-like sweetness of broom and the velvety floral character of jasmine sambac. The opening feels bright, airy and naturally radiant, evoking warm sunshine and flowering trees.
As the fragrance develops, heliotrope introduces a soft, powdery quality while vetiver adds an earthy, subtly smoky contrast. Beneath the floral heart, Georgywood and Ambroxan create a smooth, modern woody-musky foundation that gives Tilia its lasting presence without overpowering its delicate floral character.
The result is fresh, floral, powdery, honeyed and gently woody—a sophisticated fragrance that feels effortlessly optimistic. Tilia is designed to capture those simple, joyful moments of summer: countryside lunches, warm afternoons, fresh flowers and holidays that seem to last forever.

The Scent
Tilia is a beautiful choice for anyone who enjoys clean, luminous floral fragrances with a soft powdery sweetness.
The linden blossom provides the signature honeyed floral character, while broom contributes an unusual apricot-like nuance. Jasmine sambac adds creamy floral richness, and heliotrope brings a gentle powdery texture. Vetiver then grounds the composition with a touch of smoky earthiness.
Unlike heavier floral perfumes, Tilia remains airy, transparent and uplifting, making it particularly easy to wear during the warmer months.
Performance
Tilia has a refined but noticeable presence, with fragrance-community data indicating above-average longevity and projection.
Its fresh floral character makes it particularly well suited to spring and summer, daytime wear, holidays, brunches and relaxed outdoor occasions. It can also work beautifully as an elegant everyday signature fragrance.
RRP
Marc-Antoine Barrois currently lists Tilia in 30ml and 100ml formats, with the official European price for the 100ml Eau de Parfum shown at €200. In the UK, Harrods currently lists the 100ml bottle at £200.
Gender Positioning
Unisex – designed for both women and men.
Tilia has a naturally elegant and floral character that may appeal especially to lovers of soft florals, but its woody, earthy and musky base gives it excellent versatility across genders.
