Linden blossom

We both live in Bristol and have always loved the gorgeous, intoxicating scent from these trees on Durham Downs. Smells can conjure up a time and a place and for us, it’s wonderful to have a scent that firmly places itself in a green, open, happy space.
It’s the part of our perfume that’s like a summer breeze. 

Linden (or Limeflower ) is a common tree planted around many cities. It's the one that makes cars sticky with the dripping nectar from their flowers. 

The blossom is a honey bee magnet and flowers can be harvested to make herbal tea. Next time you walk under one, take a deep breath in and smile.
