I like to spray on this perfume before exercising or during the daytime in winter. Most prominent notes for me are lemon, vetiver and carnation.

I am writing this in response to the review by Annjsec. I used to wear this perfume every day, and it always smelled great on me. Then suddenly it didn't. It was dreadful. I was going through a huge time of stress at the time, and I wondered if it was to do with that.

If you've ever wanted to know what sharp aldehydes smell like, give White Linen a try. This fragrance is an aldehyde overload, so much to the point that it smells like a white, sparkling bathroom. There's huge doses of powder, soap, laundry and flowers in White Linen.

This bottle of perfume did not smell like the White Linen I have worn for over 25 years. I wonder if it is defective or old. Really disappointed in the product.

White Linen perfume by Estee Lauder is a great scent to wear during the spring and summer months of the year. I say this because it has a light, flowery scent to the perfume . It reminds me of the warmer months of the year.
