Which Should You Buy?
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.
Woody Freesia is a chic unisex scent with a balanced woody-floral character. Its spicy undertones and moderate projection make it versatile for many occasions.
