Estee Lauder's 'iconic' perfume that smells of fresh sheets gets a £20 saving

Estée Lauder, renowned for its luxurious perfumes, is the go-to brand for fragrance fans with offerings to suit everyone's tastes. Their most famous scent might well be the legendary Youth Dew, often lauded as "the sexiest ever made", but there are hidden gems in the range that deserve attention too.

One such gem is the White Linen Eau de Parfum, a scent celebrated by reviewers as "timeless" and "a classic". Fancy trying it out Amazon has sliced the price of a 60ml bottle from £44.99 down to £27.50, giving savvy shoppers a near £20 saving. Dating back to its debut in 1978, White Linen encapsulates a breezy spring essence with a bouquet of fresh flowers against an idyllic blue sky backdrop, reports the Daily Record.

This EDP is concocted to deliver a scent that's fresh, crisp, and clean, engaging with top notes of damask rose, jasmine, and muguet, then unfurling into heart notes touched with violet and orris. Rounding off on warm base notes of vetiver, amber, and moss, this cherished perfume is encased within a chic, transparent glass bottle reflecting Estée Lauder's signature elegance and sophistication.

Fragrance connoisseurs on the hunt for a crisp, clean aroma may want to explore Elizabeth Arden's White Tea Eau de Toilette Spray, which offers a delightful mix of musk, floral, fruit, and white tea extract notes. The 100ml bottle is currently available at Boots for the tempting price of £47.

For those after a summery floral and amber fragrance, Flower By Kenzo L'Absolue could be just the ticket. Retailing at £61 for a 30ml bottle at The Perfume Shop, it features enchanting notes of rose, orange blossom, and vanilla musks. If you fancy the Estée Lauder classic, take note: even after nearly five decades, it continues to impress shoppers, boasting a 4.7 rating on Amazon. Countless reviews call it 'iconic', perfect 'for all ages and lifestyles.

One reviewer gushed in their five-star review: "Timeless, sexy, iconic scent from the 70s. I've been wearing for 20 years and although it isn't the only scent I wear, it is the only one where people (often complete strangers) ask me what I'm wearing. It has a powdery, sexy, subtlety to it. Hope they never discontinue it.."

Another user shared: "A classic from Estee Lauder. Been using it for years and years. Know a few people who use it and like me would not change (unless Lauder changes the scent)."

They added: "It has a pleasant soft aroma that lasts for a long time. Does not matter how old you are. Fits all ages and lifestyles. Nothing worse than an overpowering aroma. Plus at £30 odd it is a brilliant price!".

Another chuffed customer raved about the perfume, saying: "This is an old favourite. It's light, fresh and lasts a long time."

However, scents can be subjective, and sadly, not all reviews were glowing as one disappointed shopper mentioned: "I was a bit misled with the reviews, recommending it as a fresh, light scent." They added: "This is not light at all, made me dizzy from just one spray! If you're looking for a pleasant, sweet yet fresh scent, this probably won't be for you."

Conversely, another delighted user found the perfume just right, commenting: "It makes me feel good, really good and is fresh and not overpowering. It's a favourite of mine, I love it."
