When I tried White Linen on a test strip It was love at first sight W.L was the first Fragrance In my opinion to recreate freshly dried linen that just came out of the drier or cloths drying in the Wind under a clear blue summer sky on a clothes line and when i received a sample bottle of White Linen i was ecstatic and sprayed on my skin Then it turned sour on my skin and i was a bit puzzled is this a bad sample because sometimes perfumes do go bad due to age or manufacturing or it's my skin chemistry some scents don't work on some scents and maybe this is not one of them I don't want to pinpoint that White Linen is a mere disappointment which is not or a average run off the mill Fragrance i really think it's the harsh aldehyde with the mixture of Lemon and Honey Aldehydes have to be carefully blended to make sure not get a plastic and cloying smell but nether-less a unique Treasure.
