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 recently purchased this again after spraying it on my arm. I believe you need to be a bit older to appreciate WL's true beauty. The aldehydic and very powdery fragrance unfolds into a greener and...

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...

It is a beautiful scent. When I smell it, I get transported back to my childhood sneaking into my mothers bedroom to play with her makeup and perfume on her vanity. Its such a warm, comforting...

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...

Does anybody think the current White Linen is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than how it used to be???? I have a friend who used it in the late 80's early 90's and I remember it VIVIDLY... but when I smell it...

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....

I purchased a mini of this parfum spray after reading several reviews of Chanel No. 22 that mentioned that White Linen was a dup for 22. After having tested it for a full day I definitely see why...

This was my signature scent some 20 years ago. When I smell this now, it brings back memories and it's a bit nostalgic. No modern designer would have the proverbial eggs to make something like...

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...
