    Has anyone tried any of these? Linden is catching my eye.

      I have tried, Honey, Forget Me Not, Linden, and Field of Flowers. I loved all of them except Linden. It was a bit too strong for a perfume. It would make a great candle, soap, shower gel, or body powder. My favorite is Forget Me Not. It is hard to describe the scent. It is one of those scents that keep you wanting to smell it again, it is hard to get enough. Their product called parfum crema is all that it claims and more. It works wonderfully alone and is a triple threat when combined with the parfum spray.

      I highly recommend their products.

    I didn’t realize TokyoMilk and Lollia were owned by the same person. Although that makes a lot of sense.

    I find TokyoMilk generally interesting, and Lollia generally boring. Here’s hoping this is more toward the TokyoMilk side of things.

      Yes, there’s definitely a similarity in the packaging…I sort of guessed this one before I even read about it.

    All her brands have the most adorable packaging! Squee! Arboretum, The Forest, Moonshadow, and Willow + Water all sound potentially interesting to me.

    Cute packaging but… hmm, $54? My first thought is “Tokyo Milk scents in different bottles… meh.” Some may very well be really nice though.

    12 releases at once. Impressive. Daunting. Lucky they are cute!

    Oh the marketing, the marketing… hit the bull’s eye with my demographic… Somewhere some ad campaign manager is laughing victoriously while she sips her ayurvedic chai, the sound of thousands of credit cards being whipped out of wallets playing in her pretty head.

    Arboretum and Root would be my first sniff choices.

    These have popped up all over Portland. The ones I’ve smelled seem nice enough — the display I sniffed included The Forest, Field & Flowers, Arboretum, Forget Me Not, Linden, Honeycomb, and True Vanilla — though nothing that would compel me to purchase. They seemed light and clean, but generally too sweet for my taste. Hope others from this list show up, too. (Root!)

    The packaging on The Forest was the most delicious to me, and/but the fragrance skewed far more masculine than the rest. Might end up with a hand cream of it. :)

    Happy to poke around with greater attention if anyone wishes.

      Could you smell the narcissus in the Linden? (I liked the new narcissus frag from L’Occitane, but I didn’t get it because my husband hates L’Occitane’s amber note, which dominates the drydown. If the narcissus note lasted longer, I would might have purchased it. I did get a bar of soap.).

        I’ll go back and see! (I don’t think I have any narcissus-y samples of my own for comparison, but if I feel ambitious I’ll walk down to the Perfume House and see what they have.)

        They didn’t have a bottle of Linden when I went back, so I wasn’t able to get the full experience. In the other products (hand cream, body cream, soap), Linden definitely has a recognizable narcissus note but it is, to my nose, overpowered by the clover honey note. I’ll check back another time for the EdP!

          Thanks so much! I may have to see if anyone (maybe Surrender to Chance ?) has samples. I like honey fragrances.

    Linden by Library of Flowers has a very pure crisp top, with a little bit of a medicinal note in the middle, followed by a very gentle true narcissus and honey note- more like a honey wax than actual sweetened honey, without being cloying. Admittedly, the first time I tested this one, months ago, I found it very fleeting, this time I gave myself 4 solid sprays and really went for it, which is reasonable to do with this fragrance because it is very sheer and fresh. It is a very soapy light scent that gets soapier, cleaner and fresher as it wears on. I love the cute bottle and it is very wearable for everyday clean!
