Divisive, polarising, and a victim of reformulation woes, White Linen in its original glory is a sparkling, clean aldehydic floral that smells like expensive soap and crisp fabric. The modern version? Might be a bit of a chemical mess.

A budget take on Estee Lauder's White Linen, keeping the aldehyde-lilac vintage-floral signature. The aldehydes read a touch sharper and the lilac-rose heart flatter here than the original's dense, multi-layered bouquet, but the classic soapy-floral character that makes White Linen instantly recognisable comes through clearly.
