Linden Ice Tea
Fragrance notes
Character
You set the glass down on the white tablecloth and feel the sun through the canopy. The air is warm and bright, filled with the sound of conversation and the clink of cutlery. You are wearing Edgardio Chilini's Linden Ice Tea, and it sits close to the skin like a second shirt. The opening hits immediately with mandarin orange, yuzu, and grapefruit, brightened by lemon and verbena.
