Instead of fashion week, Wild Linden Blossoms take to the catwalk — perfuming entire boulevards with a sublime honeyed fragrance, authentic to Milan. The air turns sweet, slightly citric, delicate yet pervasive — lulling the entire city into a stupor. Yet the real party goers are the Milanese honeybees, swarming the blossoms and collecting nearly a full ounce of nectar from a single Linden flower. Hence its nickname, the Bee’s Perfume.
This Candle pays tribute to this brief window of time. When Milan turns into a golden bomb of scent, blending sweet Linden blossoms with the green, sparkling zest of Bergamot, a touch of creamy Heliotrope, and a dust of pollen. Beckoning all of us to “Meet Under the Linden Tree,” an old Italian folk tradition that invited the whole village to gather. And own the catwalk.
