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.
