I originally posted this review under the listing for the Eau de Parfum spray because this listing didn’t exist then, but since it is actually for this version I thought I should repost it here! (: I briefly sniffed the above version in the store and it didn’t smell the same to me as the bottles I have.
I have two vintage mini bottles of this perfume and I’m somewhat surprised to say that I love it! Especially considering that I used to find aldehydes to be too much. They assault my nose and give me a headache I used to think. Not any more. I don’t know what happened, but somewhere along the way I began to embrace aldehydes as cleansing, bracing and purifying to my nose, and yes sparkling. But hands down, my favorite part of this fragrance is the middle and dry down. On me it turns warm and ambery sweet with a spicy undercurrent, all the while feeling clean and bright, yet not sterile. Warm like a hug from an old dear friend. I think this scent is in my childhood subconcious and all memories attached to this scent are full warmth, security, and goodness. I wear this when I want to feel uncomplicated and free and leave the drama behind. Five stars. 🙂

Have always loved White Linen. Will certainly look for the perfume here in SA. Agree with the previous review: not warm, not cold. It is sublime, simply elegant. So easy to wear.

The parfum is the only version of White Linen that I can wear and enjoy, I find the edp a little too sharp. I have a couple of vintage minis of the parfum, and they smell wonderful – just like clean laundry drying in the morning sun, under the blue sky, in a garden full of flowers, in spring or early summer. Cool and warm at the same time, elegant, but still easy to wear. I think of it as mainly an aldehydic perfume supported by flowers, but the floral notes are so well blended that I cannot really pick them out separately (maybe lilac stands out just a little more than the others). Same with the basenotes, it all just melts together to a pleasant, fresh and natural sweetness. I don’t wear it often, but sometimes on sunny mornings in May, it feels like just the right choice. My 12-year-old loves it too!
