It’s a classic, but I admit I’m too attached to the earlier versions. β˜ΊοΈπŸ’–

The new White Linen and EstΓ©e are my least favorites of the set. I like the original White Linen more but I was never impressed with EstΓ©e! Private Collection and Knowing are gorgeous but the full bottles are indeed pricey.

I have really enjoyed the reinvented versions of these classics! I’m so happy to have the miniature set. 🩡✨

I’ve enjoyed every spray of Tilia by Marc Antoine Barrois this summer. β˜€οΈπŸŒŠ

Built around notes of linden blossom, broom flowers, and white florals, this fragrance is full of sunny radiance and elegance. The heliotrope comes through with its powdery touches. 🌼

Taking photos at the beach isn’t easy!
