Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - White Linen Eau de Parfum

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.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Dragonfly Eau de Parfum

A truly gorgeous, watery floral with an unusual powdery rice note that's been tragically reformulated. Find the original purple juice if you can, because the new stuff is apparently pure pickle juice and sadness. This one was loved for its unique, tranquil charm.
