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.
Arpège is an old-school stunner. It's divisive, but fans adore its complex, aldehydic embrace, often preferring it over its more famous, pricier cousin. Not for the faint of heart, it demands confidence and rewards with timeless elegance.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its sharp, clean, and fresh profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, evoking a sense of effortless polish. While some find it too 'old-fashioned' for dates, its sophisticated character can still work for more formal daytime events. The strong aldehydic opening and lasting power might be a bit much for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its deep, complex aldehydic and woody accords, adored by many for formal and date settings, can be a bit much for a casual office. Reviews highlight its formal appeal, making it less suitable for everyday wear or active settings.
