Rare 'timeless' Estee Lauder perfume that 'suits all ages' slashed by 39%
Shoppers say they get compliments from "complete strangers" when wearing the luxury fragrance.
If there's one brand that has become beloved for its perfumes, then it's Estée Lauder. Offering a variety of scents, the luxury house has something for everyone's liking.
Of course, the one it is arguably known for is the iconic Youth Dew, a scent that has been hailed as "the sexiest ever made". However, there are a few lesser known alternatives that are worth giving a shot.
One of them is the White Linen Eau de Parfum that reviews have praised as "timeless" and "a classic". Looking to give it a try? Then a 60ml bottle has just been reduced on Amazon from £44.99 to just £27.50, saving 39 per cent overall.
Launched back in 1978, it offers a light, floral fragrance that is perfect for summer, with the design firm saying that it "captures the very essence of a perfect day: early spring breezes tinged with the fragrance of fresh flowers and endless blue sky."
Designed to offer a fresh, crisp and clean fragrance, the White Linen EDP begins with top notes of damask rose, jasmine and muguet, before developing into heart notes of violet and orris.

Product Description
Finishing on the warmth of vetiver, amber and moss, the beloved perfume is housed in an elegant, transparent glass bottle that represents the luxury and classy aesthetic the brand has become known for.
Perfume buffs who are seeking a similar crisp, clean scent might want to consider Elizabeth Arden's White Tea Eau de Toilette Spray. Offering a blend of musks, florals, fruits and white tea extract, a 100ml is on offer at Boots for £47.
Another floral and amber based scent that is worth purchasing for summer is the Flower By Kenzo L'Absolue. Costing £61 for a 30ml at The Perfume Shop, it boasts notes of rose, orange blossom and vanilla musks.
Those keen on the Estée Lauder scent, it's worth noting that, despite being launched almost 50 years ago, it is still a favourite with a 4.7 rating on Amazon from thousands of shoppers who have branded it "iconic" and ideal "for all ages and lifestyles."
One five-star review read: "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..."
A second loyal fan wrote: "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).
Beauty deal of the week
Looking to try out a new perfume, then it might be worth trying the new Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude Eau De Parfum (50ml).
Making its debut in 2024, this floriental perfume has already been making waves, with some reviews already branding it as "one of the best" that is available.
For those who have been wanting to give this new fragrance a go, it's officially available for half-price at Boots, with the health and beauty chain cutting the cost of a 50ml bottle from £96 to just £48.
Created by renowned perfumer Sonia Constant, Musc Nude was created as a new interpretation on the chypre family, with a "second skin" quality that has been designed to wrap around the wearer like a "protective armour."
Said to be a "celebration of eternal femininity", it opens with top notes of piquant pink peppercorn accord that have been combined with an abstract floral bouquet of delicate white flowers.
At the perfume's core, there is a heart of musk that has been infused with floral notes of precious rose oil and orange blossom, before drying down to rich Tonka beans, cedarwood and patchouli to create a touch of warmth.
The feminine perfume is housed in an all-over nude pink bottle with a frosted finish that has been topped with a matching matte cap. Offering sophisticated lines, the design matches the elegance of the perfume included within.
One five-star review read: "I recently received a sample of this and I am so glad I did because the smell is so lovely. You need to purchase this immediately. One of the best scents I've ever smelt before and the scent lasts all day too which is a bonus."
The new Narciso Rodriguez for her Musc Nude Eau de Parfum (50ml) is available for half-price at Boots now.
"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!"
Someone else delighted with the perfume added: "This is an old favourite. It's light, fresh and lasts a long time."
As is the case with all perfumes, it wasn't suited to everyone's personal scent profile, as one two-star review read: "I was a bit misled with the reviews, recommending it as a fresh, light scent.
"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."
Although, someone who found that it was a fresh scent added: "It makes me feel good, really good and is fresh and not overpowering. It's a favourite of mine, I love it."
And another fan praised: "More of my favourite summer perfume. This is my favourite, it's light, floral and fresh, just right for summer. I couldn't not have this to wear in the summer months. I feel naked without it."
Perfume buffs can bag the Estée Lauder White Linen Eau de Parfum (60ml) on offer on Amazon now.

A £12 peel-off lip stain I used for Ascot stayed put for ten hours
Head of beauty Zoe put Boots' viral lip liner stain to the test at Royal Ascot, and was left very impressed by the results... One beauty trend that I definitely think is here to stay is lip tinting. Gone are the days when you'd apply lipstick and have to spend the rest of the day touching it up in a mirror. We've entered an era of long-lasting tints that promise colour for hours on end, with no need to reapply. I was first introduced to them (a little late, admittedly) when I tuned into Love Island All Stars last year, when Elma Pazar was in the villa. I spotted her peeling off a lip formula and immediately needed to know what it was. As it turned out, it was Sacheu's now-viral STAY-N Lip Liner, £12. Stocked at Boots, this long-wear lip liner keeps your lips in line all day and night. Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for conditioning benefits, it also cares for your lips while it's working its magic. You could blend it slightly to get a full lip tint, but I like the way Elma applied it in the morning while she's doing the rest of her make-up before peeling it off ten minutes or so later to reveal perfectly lined lips that lasted her most of the day while she was lounging around the pool. I also spotted Elma applying it before bed so that her lips were lined with a kiss-proof colour before the lights go out. Anyway, consider me converted because I placed a Boots order as soon as I discovered it was this £12 buy she was using, and I've used it weekly ever since. I don't use it every day, because sometimes the setting and peeling off process feels like too much admin for me on a no-makeup day, but any time I want a lip look that will last me longer than an hour, I pull it out of my make-up bag. Case in point: this week, I needed a lip look to see me through a day at Royal Ascot. I knew the toilet queues would be long, so I wanted to make sure my lip colour was as low-maintenance as possible. I applied the shade P-inked at 9am before leaving, and amazingly, when I took a final selfie at 5pm, it was still in tact. You can actually see from my before and after how well the Stay-n Liner worked. I only used it on the borders of my lips as a liner, and used a regular lipstick to fill the centre of my pout. While the middle of my lips rubbed off relatively quickly, the tinted borders remained, dare I say, flawless. All-in-all, the tint lasted about ten hours before it began to fade. If you think you'll use the lip liner stain as often as I do, I seriously recommend taking a look at the pack of three bundle you can pick up from Amazon for £30. You save £6 off the price of buying them individually, and it means you have a choice of shades for all events this summer. If you're looking for another long-lasting stain option, our shopping writer Meghan also swears by Wonderskin's Wonderblading Lip Masque, £18 in a whole host of shades.

Hide toys, tidy away cables – and make friends with baskets: 11 clever home storage hacks
Modern home life is messy: between scattered toys, shoe piles by the front door and tangled cables, it can be hard to keep on top of the clutter. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. We've asked design experts and home organisers for their best tips on how to hide it all, from furniture with charging drawers to hidden living room storage, cable clips and sleeves to an overlooked, hidden bathroom storage spot. And remember: storage baskets are your friend. Rachel Burditt, home organiser at The Declutter Darling, says clients often ask for help hiding the cables that dangle from lamps, speakers and TVs. Her solution? Using small cable clips (available from DIY stores such as Toolstation) to hold them in place on the back or side of the item. You just stick or nail the clip on to a hidden spot and feed the cable through it, keeping it out of sight. For cables that need to run along the floor, she recommends using cord sleeves – essentially jackets for your wires – that blend into your decor. She gets hers from Amazon, but you'll find them in all DIY shops. In areas where multiple cables are needed, it might be worth investing in a cable box. They're neutral containers you can sit a block of sockets in, keeping wires and plugs hidden and stopping them from gathering dust. Muji's white, steel cable organiser looks like a desk tidy and fits into even the most minimalist aesthetic. 'You can also get trays that attach under tables to keep wires tidy, which work well if you've got a home office,' Burditt says. Try Livivo's under-desk cord organiser. Amazon cord sleeves £5.10 at Amazon Muji steel cable organiser £19.95 at Muji Livivo cord organiser £14.99 at B&Q£14.99 at Amazon The games consoles, tablets, laptops and phones that litter surfaces while they're charging can also be hidden. Interior designer Loren Kreiss recommends creating a charging drawer in a bedside table or chest of drawers. Drill or cut a hole in the back. Put a block of sockets inside, run an extension cord through the hole and connect them to the nearest power outlet. Then leave your chargers in the drawer, ready to go. Interior designer Wesley Moon takes a similar approach with beauty devices: 'I always build outlets into a drawer in vanity stations so things like hairdryers can stay plugged in.' This means they're always tidied away. If you're DIY-phobic, check out Wayfair, which has a range of cable management cabinets with holes pre-cut into the back. Try the stylish Holz Stainless Steel 2 with a ridged, moody black finish and a slot for wires at the back. Holz stainless steel 2 cabinet £125.99 at Wayfair If you don't have an office and don't want your home to look like a student library post-6pm on WFH days, an easy way to clear away your tech, stationery and paperwork is a must. Burditt recommends using a butcher's trolley from Ikea, such as the Räskog – a stack of three baskets on wheels that you can fill with your work essentials and then stow away easily. 'They're really small [61 x 28 x 38cm]. Mine fits in my under-the-stairs cupboard.' They are also great for handbag collections, tool kits and more. Burditt recommends them for storing kids' craft materials – allowing you to wheel the glue, glitter, felt tips, card etc out of sight after your little one has finished their masterpiece. Want a way to store the artworks they're making? 'Get one of the My Little Davinci picture frames,' says Imani Keal, DIY content creator at @imaniathome. 'They allow you to store up to 50 sheets of paper, and you can display the nicest one on the outside.' Ikea Råskog £25 at Ikea My Little Davinci multi-storage picture frames £29.99 at My Little Davinci£29.99 at Amazon Bulky kitchen appliances such as air fryers and toasters take up valuable counter space. 'If people have enough room, a walk-in pantry with a dedicated worktop is a great place to store appliances,' says Emma Perkin, director of Emil Eve Architects. 'But of course, that's not achievable for everyone.' For smaller kitchens, Perkin recommends adapting standard cupboards. 'You can modify a tall, open-backed Ikea cabinet – for example, a Metod high cabinet – by adding a worktop-height work surface to one of the shelves and installing a plug socket. By removing or reducing the depth of the shelves above this (by either cutting them narrower or using shelves from the matching wall unit, which are only 360mm deep), you can create space for your toaster and air fryer inside a cupboard, with shelves for spices, jars and bottles above.' Metod high cabinet £146 at Ikea 'I don't want plastic scattered everywhere, so I use hidden storage for toys,' says Burditt. She labels thin, flat storage bags – such as underbed grey storage bags from Dunelm – to keep puzzles, games and Lego under her sofa. 'It's all tucked away, but my kids know exactly where to find their things.' For larger items, she says an ottoman works well. 'Just close it up, throw a blanket and some cushions over it, and suddenly it's extra seating.' With a capacity of 117 litres, you could fit plenty of Lego in Swyft's cushioned storage 02 bench, available in velvet, boucle or linen. Moon takes a similar, but built-in, approach. 'In one New York apartment, we created a banquette along one wall. It worked as a dining nook, but the seat lifted up to reveal compartments underneath. Each child had their own section for toys, and we made sure the lids had spring mechanisms so they stayed open – no pinched fingers!'

'Put the weights at the bottom of the basket, and then use it to hold throw blankets on top to camouflage them,' says Keal. H&M storage basket £19.99 at H&M If you want to get fitter without joining a gym, check out our guide to the best home exercise kit 'You can place a litter box at the bottom of a cupboard, getting a carpenter to cut in a discreet entry hole for your cat,' says Perkin. 'We designed one against an external wall with an air vent leading outside, helping with ventilation and keeping things smelling fresh.' B&Q has a range of cupboards and cabinets designed to hide cat paraphernalia, such as the Feandrea decorative litter box cabinet, which has a flexible internal space where litter trays, cat beds and bowls of food can be tucked away. Moon took a similar approach to Perkin when it came to integrating a dog crate into a design for a client. 'We built it into an end table beside their sofa,' he says. 'Instead of a basic wire crate, we used a decorative metal grille – similar to what you'd see on an air vent, but with larger openings for airflow. He used New York-based Architectural Grille to make custom-designed sides, working with a carpenter on the frame. 'We bolted it to the floor so its table surface didn't wobble when the dog moved,' he says. Lots of furniture designers are selling similar dog crate furniture on Etsy. Tolotun dog house makes mid-century modern dog crates that look more like kooky 1970s display cabinets. Meanwhile, Kurr Pets' dog and cat beds and houses, made of Baltic birch plywood and jewel- and pastel-tone fabric, would blend into a contemporary flat. Feandrea litter cabinet £50.99 at Songmics£78.39 at B&Q Tolotun dog house From £279.56 at Etsy Burditt has a simple idea for keeping an exposed gas meter concealed, which she used for a recent client. 'We got a picture shelf and put that underneath it, and then got a few big prints to put in front of it.' Perkin says: 'Hiding an ugly boiler inside a cupboard can make a massive difference. There are lots available specifically for this, or you could incorporate the boiler into a larger cupboard, perhaps with shelving around it for additional storage. She recommends Lark & Larks, who make tall cupboards specifically designed to conceal boilers, starting at £75.16. 'You need to make sure you leave adequate space around and in front of the boiler for ventilation and access.' Lark & Larks boiler cupboard £75.16 at Larks & Larks 'You know the panel on your bath? On some – usually the wooden ones – you can actually slide that out and use the space behind it,' says Burditt. If not, she recommends installing a Ceramica bath storage panel, which turns the space around your bath into a hidden cupboard with a sliding, lockable door. She says this is good for storing kids' bathroom toys, spare beauty and cleaning products and loo rolls. Perkin says if you're planning to renovate your bathroom and you're getting a concealed cistern and wall-hung toilet installed, you have an opportunity to put in hidden storage. 'You're building out the wall anyway for the cistern to sit behind,' she says. 'So you can get a carpenter to build in recessed shelves above the cistern, with mirrored doors flush with your new wall.' Ceramica panel £119.99 at Plumb World Try Ikea's Trones storage cabinet. 'They are only 18cm deep and work in every single space,' says Keal. It looks like a clean white box, and was designed to store shoes, but she uses it to hide her wifi router, incoming post, her dog's leash, food and toys. 'And you can use the top of it to put a little basket or drop your keys on.' And for the shoe littering? Perkin says if you're undergoing renovations and you have a generous living room next to the entrance hall, 'you could look to borrow a bit of space from this to create recessed shoe and coat storage from the hallway.' Like Keal, she recommends fold-out racks for storing shoes away in narrow spaces. More than 10 pairs of shoes can be tucked away in the five-tiered steel Logan shoe rack from Sklum (£209.95). Wayfair also has a range of similar shoe tidies, such as the Sheringham six-pair storage with a wooden slatted finish. Ikea Trones cabinet £25 for two at Ikea Sheringham shoe storage £78.99 at Wayfair Whether they're wardrobes or kitchen units, Perkin recommends always building cupboards up to the ceiling. 'We will often try to avoid any form of cupboards or wardrobes that stop below, because it creates a dust trap and you're just wasting space that you could use.' While that space might be hard to get to, it's a great place to store the things you only need every now and then – boxes of Christmas decorations, for example. You can do this by stacking two standard kitchen units on top of each other. 'I always recommend getting a bed that's at least eight to 12 inches off the ground,' says Keal, 'so you can slide suitcases and other items under it.' Dusk and Loaf both have great options with vast ottoman storage. 'It's the perfect space for things you don't need access to all the time and want to keep out of sight.'

'£21 viral Korean foundation blew me away - I'm binning all my other ones'
Korean beauty products have many beauty fans in a chokehold - and this latest foundation has sent TikTokers into a frenzy. The Korean brand Tir Tir has finally launched in the UK, stocked in Boots, and there's a reason it's going viral online. K-beauty isn't new, and Tir Tir is just one of hundreds of renowned K-beauty brands, but it's a brand that is making huge global waves. Tir Tir's philosophy is that it uses high-quality natural ingredients to develop skincare that delivers visible results. It's also the first Korean brand to have a foundation that offers 40 different shades, making it the most diverse and inclusive. The most-raved about product by far is the Mask Fit Red Cushion foundation (£21), which promises to give full coverage which a natural, semi-matte finish. The lightweight formula blends seamlessly as it conceals imperfections and evens skin tone - while also keeping skin nourished and comfortable, and with that, I was sold. I couldn't wait to get my hands on one, as someone who likes a full coverage foundation but hates feeling cakey, I knew I had to try. What also makes this unique is the application, instead of a liquid in a bottle product which we are all familiar with, it's a cushion foundation where you press the applicator into the cushion which then transfers onto the applicator which you then apply. No more spilling of a liquid, messy fingers and dirty makeup brushes as it all comes compact in one, making it the easiest foundation to bring on the go. I have always struggled to find foundations that work on my extremely combination skin. While I am oily around my t-zone, I can get dry patches on my chin which can make it pretty hard to find a good fit. I also like a full coverage foundation, and after seeing so many videos of this foundation and how seamlessly it was applied and how quickly it covered people's faces I was amazed. When I first opened the product, I couldn't understand how the cushion would release the product, and I pressed the applicator so hard into the cushion, only to realise that it really does come out a lot and just a little dab would have sufficed. We live and we learn, but as soon I did one swipe to my cheek, it covered the whole side of my face. The product really does go a long way which is what surprised me the most, as you really don't need a lot of it to cover your whole face. When it came to the coverage it was seriosuly impressive, I have a few acne scares which it completely covered, as well as my pores which is one of my biggest concerns. The only way I can describe it is that it made my skin look almost porcelain, something it has never looked like before. While it has great coverage, it's not a dewy foundation, it makes me look very matte, which meant I had to apply some highlighter - something I haven't had to do with any of my other foundations, just to give my face a bit more of a shine rather than looking like a doll. Due to it being so matte, I skipped applying my setting power, which I realised after a few hours was grave mistake. Maybe it was just my skin, but it didn't stay matte for very long, and I had to apply powder to my t-zone every few hours. Nevertheless it stayed on for the whole day with an impressive coverage. It's clear I am a huge fan of this product, and it has definitely earned a spot in my makeup bag as an every day foundation. I think I will stick with my other foundation for nights out and events as it's a bit thicker and longer lasting, but for the warm sunny days, this lightweight product is perfect. The Tir Tir Mask Fit Red Cushion foundation is available to buy online at Boots, Korean Skincare UK and you can try a sample set from Amazon.
