Italian term or phrase: 10 pacchetti di fazzoletti 4 veli con essenza profumata al tiglio
This is referring to an emollient product. I am not sure if it's a cream, because of the word fazzoletti. it may be a lotion.
would it be "10 4-ply sheets...also the word essenza. is it referring to the oil?
Thanks so much.

agree  Marc Vitale: Yes, but I would say "linden" rather than "lime" to avoid confusion and perhaps say "linden scented" rather than "with lime essence perfume"
32 mins
  -> Thanks Marc, Yes you're right, "linden scented" sounds better
agree  writeaway: the correction shows why a 5 confidence level is really assuming a lot.
36 mins
  -> Thanks, I was just 5/5 sure about the meaning of fazzoletti
agree  Rachel Fell: 10 packets of 4-ply lime blossom scented tissues (lime blossom would be understood as being of the non-citrus tree - we say lime blossom tea; linden can sound a bit twee for everyday things, I think)
