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.

Application Tips
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.
Sophia Grojsman
Founding perfumer · 55 fragrances · American
As a child, in Belarus, this perfume queen-to-be would run around the garden smelling roses and jasmine, leaving her toys untouched, dismissed. After studying chemistry at university, she emigrated to New York and joined the IFF laboratories where she learned the art of perfumery under the guidance of Ernest Shiftan, one of the greatest American perfumers in history. Sophia was the first perfumer to inverse classical proportions of ingredients in perfumes, having discovered that an overdose of a certain ingredient could propel it to the top of the perfume’s structure. She combined this revolutionary technique with classical perfume structures to create a truly unique aesthetic, one that was to forever shape the art of perfume making. She was also well-known for her endless fascination with rose, a flower she uses in most of her creations. At Frédéric Malle’s request, she applied herself for the first time to the art of scented candles.
