Estee Lauder White Linen Eau de Parfum 60ml Spray

Estée Lauder White Linen Eau de Parfum 60ml is a true 20th-century classic — a crisp, sun-bleached floral aldehyde created in 1978 by master perfumer Sophia Grojsman. Conceived to evoke the scent of freshly laundered linen drying in summer sunlight, it pairs sparkling aldehydes with a vast white-floral heart of jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, rose and ylang-ylang, finished with a quietly warm base of oakmoss, sandalwood, amber and honey.

About Estée Lauder & White Linen

Estée Lauder Companies was founded in New York in 1946 by Estée and Joseph Lauder, and Sophia Grojsman's White Linen has been part of the catalogue almost continuously since 1978. Often regarded as one of the great American perfumes of the late twentieth century, it pioneered a new register of "clean", aldehyde-driven floral perfumery — at once radiant and refined, designed to feel as fresh as a starched shirt.

Who it's for

White Linen suits women who appreciate classical, aldehydic florals — those who already wear or admire fragrances such as Chanel No. 5, Estée Lauder Estée or Lancôme Climat. The composition reads as polished, mature and distinctly grown-up rather than sweet or fruity. It works year-round in temperate climates but is at its finest in spring and early summer, particularly for daytime, formal and office wear.

How to wear it

Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin and spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears. The aldehydic top notes need a moment to settle; the floral heart and warmer drydown bloom over the first hour. Two sprays usually balance well; the eau de parfum has notable longevity and projection.
