White Linen Estēe Lauder 1978 Eau de Parfum

I first experienced White Linen the year it came out. I had for years been a fan of Surreal and the girls that wore it well. Then this basket case of laundry came along. Its name implied the summertime scent of clean bed sheets on the line, flapping in the breeze. Far from it, that first sniff nearly made me nauseous. I had rather sniff my own dirty laundry that whatever this was. forty plus years and that has not changed. There is a bottle of this obnoxiousness on the counter only because it can replace Jean Nate' when it comes to repelling animals from the furniture.
