description

The fragrance of cool white flowers and greenery. An American classic from the first moment, White Linen captures the crispness of clean sheets on a summer day, and the coolness of white flowers and fresh greenery. Bulgarian Rose, Violet and Orris blossoms lend a kind of natural elegance that transcends the seasons.

I have been gifted this fragrance in the 90s and as a young girl then, I found it too strong and detergent smelling. I actually preferred the softer White Linen Breeze version (see separate...

Now that the eau de toilette of Chanel No. 22 is disconstinued, White Linen has become my favorite aldehydic fragrance along with Melograno by SMN. White Linen has a special aura, something...

An unexpected love that took a few tries to develop! White Linen (1978) is an early Sophia Grojsman creation for Estée Lauder that is “clean” in the same way that many aldehydic classics (Chanel 5,...

I just can't get over how amazing White Linen smells the whole day with no layering necessary. Its strong, but if worn with care I can imagine it could be moderate, otherwise it has a huge silage...

At initial burst, White Linen is sharp, loud, and overpowering. After a few hours, it quieted down to a soapy floral. White Linen might be something to wear to a business luncheon. I can see why...

I bought White Linen a part of a set of mini Estee Lauder fragrances. Given its name, I expected White Linen to be light and soapy, but it's actually a rather strong floral. Peronally, I find it to...

My husband's all-time favorite perfume, White Linen has probably been my most worn fragrance of my lifetime -- with Shalimar coming in a close second. I've lost count of how many large bottles of...

Revisiting White Linen 20+ years after I used to wear it, and it's somehow shot into my top 5, for all time. A beautiful floating bubble of aldehydes and pale greens, this scent grounds me and...

I sniffed it more than once now, once tested it on my skin and came to the conclusion: it has the right to exist, but as a tiny amount in my closet. Main reasons why I would not wear it daily: 1....

Here's to body chemistry. I have never smelled this on any person that it did not smell downright beautiful. Soft, very white-linen-ish. Some variance from person to person, perhaps one might pull...
