The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1978 by Estée Lauder and crafted by perfumer Sophia Grojsman, White Linen Parfum is a Floral fragrance that embodies the essence of crisp freshness and warm earthiness. The composition opens with aldehydes and lemon, creating an invigorating top note that soon gives way to a heart of iris, lilac, violet, and lily-of-the-valley. This floral bouquet transitions into a base of amber, cedar, vetiver, and sandalwood, grounding the scent in warmth and depth.

How to wear it

White Linen Parfum is best applied in two sprays to the pulse points. The aldehydic opening fades within an hour, so reapply if you wish to maintain its initial freshness throughout the day. The woody base notes will continue to develop on your skin for hours.
