What does White Linen (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Daily, leisure and business wear lead, while night and evening sit further back. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters read it as feminine and classic.

The top notes of jasmine, damask rose and lily of the valley open it floral. In the heart, orris root and violet add a soft, powdery layer, and vetiver, moss and amber ground it in a woody, chypre base. Fresh, citrus, green and spicy accords run through it. Perfumes with a close profile include Penhaligon's Jubilee Bouquet and Floris 1962.
