White Linen (for women)

I use it now and again but very sparingly as it gives me a headache. I used to work with someone who must have drenched herself in it every day and I couldn't bear to be near her. Same headache I get from hyacinths when they are in a bowl in the same room as me!

My great aunt wore this since it came out in the 70s, it was her signature scent. It smelled so good on her. She passed away 3 years ago and I bought a bottle to remember her by. It smells just like her. I don't wear this one often, just when I feeling sentimental or homesick. It is kind of an "old lady" fragrance, but still nice!

I remember being very young girl of 13 meeting a lady of 22 in a little lobby of one of the TV stations in Moscow.I tried to look and act older, and I easily held the conversation without my vis-a-vis suspecting my real age.
I noticed a strange but irresistible scent of this young lady`s perfume - fresh yet sweet, with a hint of honeycombs.Still playing into my "adult" side, I tried to casually ask her about her perfume. She was very nice, told me it was White Linen and even showed me a little mini bottle she had in her elegant purse.But shortly after my question she looked at me and asked - may I ask your age?
Later when we became friendly, she told me that I had an absolute childish tone of voice when I asked about the name of her scent. I was so afraid that she will leave and I will never, ever know the name of it it must have reflected on my voice!
(I too have a scent I long to know again, but unfortunately I did not ask the name of it and it`s been haunting me for almost 20 years now!!!)
I still like it and consider it to be one of the best scents made by EL.It is a little bit harsh in the beginning, but later it develops into a beautiful youthful scent.You won`t regret knowing it.

I have this & used to love it, but my husband complains about it. He does like one of the newer versions of White Linen, but not the one I liked. I can't remember which is which anymore, so I just went a different way now.

my mom loves this perfume so i always buy it for her birthday, but honestly, it gives me a headache. with a name like "white linen" you expect something fresh and airy, but there's one sharp, heavy note that really keeps me from liking the scent. the lasting power is excellent though.

My Mom has this, and when she wears it, it gives me headaches.

today i "tasted" White Linen..the notes looked interesting today i found out that this is not my style!.. although it reminded me a perfume i liked in the past Hermes Caleche!

I can see why this one became a success at the end of the 70's. Sophia Grojsman remains faithfull to the rose that should reappear in some of her best creations. A lasting, warm perfume, perfect for the winter. However, I do find it a bit old fashioned for my taste.

An all-time favourite. Although it does contain loads of flowers, the overall impression of White Linen is very abstract. It is the cleanest, purest perfume I own, it helps me to concentrate on the most important aspects of my life and always cheers me up - or reaassures me.

I received this in a large gift set for my high school graduation. It is a scent you typically associate with older ladies;classy,refined,ladies. It brings back memories of very loved aunts and my grandmother who has passed. This is a beautiful,soft,warm scent.

I only wear the bath powder and I really love the fresh smell. It reminds me of hanging out clothes on the line. I love the texture & silkiness of the bath powder. I think the perfume to would be a bit too mature for me, but- my grandmother uses this EDT regularly and this scent is just heavenly on her. Absolutely fabulous on the right lady.
