LINDEN BLOSSOM ABSOLUTETilia vulgaris Show Linden is a mother of a tree - everything about her is feminine, nurturing, loving and caring as only mothers can be. She spreads her branches protectively like and arboreal embrace. In Norse and Germanic mythology she is sacred to Freya or Frigga, Goddesses of Love and in the hearts and minds of the people she was perhaps the most beloved of all trees. Linden trees were especially honoured in Slavic countries, but also in France and Germany, where just about every village had a central Linden tree that served as the social and cultural focal point of village life. It was here that dances and festivals were celebrated, where couples promised each other their undying love, and justice was spoken in open-air courts called 'tings'. No other tree features as prominently in popular poetry, songs and literature as the Linden. The outpouring of nectar from her flowers provides a feast for gazillions of bees and epitomises her generous, providing nature. Bees, of course, are sacred to the Great Mother Goddess and the honey they produce is nectar for the Gods. Linden honey is indeed among the finest tasting and most valuable of all honeys - though unfortunately almost entirely used for pharmaceutical preparations. Linden trees are very healing indeed - not just her honey and flowers, but also the inner bark, charcoal and leaves are used in folk medicine for a wide variety of conditions. Naturally, this motherly tree is also protective against witches, devils and other evil spirits. Twigs were hung above doors and leaves were pinned to hats or collars to avert all evil. According to a folklore, the Linden tree was blessed with all these virtues by Mary, mother of Jesus. One day Jesus was wandering the earth feeling tired and ill. He lay down to rest under a Linden tree and fell asleep. Protectively the Linden tree spread her branches over the sick man. Some time later Mary, who had followed him, came by and found her son under the tree. Alas, when he woke up he was cured and restored. Mary, grateful to the tree for having so lovingly cared for her son, blessed it with healing and protective virtues, of which it has given generously ever since. Traditional Magical Scent 1ml* Dilution. 1ml: 9ml Light Coconut Oil. OverviewOrganic Linden Blossom CO2Our certified organic, wild harvested Linden Blossom CO2 successfully captures the scent of flowering Linden trees with its fresh, warm, floral aroma, delicate, sweet, honey-fruity top notes and fine, green, hay-like undertone reminiscent of the scent of sweetened herbal tea. There is a balanced and delicate complexity of aroma throughout the drydown when smelling it directly from a scent strip, but after leaving the area for a time, upon returning, one finds “the entire atmosphere is charged with its radiation.”1 In the past, Linden was not often used in perfumery, perhaps partly owing to the absolute being difficult to work with, however, recent years have seen an increase of scent creations recognized for their Linden Blossom content.2,3 The CO2 version’s ease of use and true-to-nature scent may help position this material as an essential part of the perfumer’s floral repertoire. An unusual offering, this Linden Blossom CO2 is more than a supercritical fluid extract – organic ethanol is used as a co-solvent to remove every last aromatic molecule from the raw material, resulting in a mobile liquid extract that is both water and ethanol soluble, making it easy to use. With its medium odor intensity and unique water solubility, Linden Blossom CO2 works well in relaxing baths and nighttime linen sprays - Valerie Worwood suggests putting a couple of drops on a cotton ball inserted between the pillow and the pillowcase.3 Linden Blossom CO2 is a premium ingredient in formulations for sensitive skin4 as well as a rare aromatic jewel natural perfumers will embrace.
