A wonderful antidote to an all-nighter oozing with drunken, addled perversion and debauchery. A fresh, crisp white linen scent: perfectly clean, perfectly breezy.

Winslow Homer
Salt-crusted stones, azure moonlight on pale sand, ambergris clinging to cream linen, driftwood, and rose-tinted sandalwood.
Venerable and solemn: the scent of incense smoke wafting through an ancient church. A true ecclesiatical blend of pure resins.
Like two birds of golden plumage, inseparable companions, the individual self and the immortal Self are perched on the branches of the selfsame tree. The former tastes of the sweet and bitter fruits of the tree; the latter, tasting of neither, calmly observes.
Orange blossom, East Indian sandalwood, and champaca.
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.
Inspired by and created for my beloved Tedwin: my eternal, beautiful, wicked Dorian Gray. Refined, elegant, and lovely, with a noble bearing and seemingly gentle air. This blend is an artful deception: a sweet gilded blossom lying over a twisted and corrupted core. A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea.

Smells juicy and slightly tangy-sweet on me. I wouldn’t guess it’s a clean linen smell on my own but I can pick it up since I know what it is. It’s borderline floral but not quite there, I think it’s more fruity than anything. Really makes me think of Starburst or something.

Plumeria! Lots and lots of plumeria. Definitely has a fabric softener sort of smell to it from the plumeria, along with a nice dash of aquatic. Very clean smelling, but definitely not as sweet as your typical ‘cotton’ or ‘linen’ scent. Still, I quite like it, and I think any fans of plumeria or ‘laundry’ scents should give this one a try.

I know the description says a “clean linen” scent, but this was very floral on me, and although plumeria is not listed in the notes above, I’m almost positive its a central part of Dirty, as I loved to wear Plumeria fragrances when I was younger. I’m not into them as much now, as I find them a bit cloying and too sweet. However, I’m sure there are many people out there who will love Dirty. Another positive of this fragrance, I found it to be very long lasting as well. Although it became less fragrant as the day continued, it now evening and I’m still getting wafts of it.

In the imp: Just as it is described: a crisp, clean linen note.
Wet: There is a citrus-y vibe to this scent, which is sharp at first, but doesn’t it doesn’t take long for it to calm down. If Boober from Fraggle Rock didn’t have a scent of his own, this would be it. It is the scent of freshly laundered clothes swaying in the breeze that have been scented with a floral detergent. I think it contains linden blossom.
Dry: Same, but much softer now.
Verdict: This isn’t really my cup of tea, so I will be giving this to my brother, who applied it when I first received it as a frimp and really enjoyed the scent.

This is really beautiful. Really fresh, just as it says. The freshest, palest young green of flower buds and pale fronds. Almost aquatic, but not- like a breezy open window after a sun shower. A perfect Spring scent, or one to work out in, or ballet class. A must have.

Received an imp of this with an order. Like it quite a lot. I don’t usually like ‘linen’ scents much but this one is an exception.
It smells more like early spring at an open window, just as the first flowers are about to appear and the breezes are still quite cool in the Northeast. This doesn’t smell like ‘linen’ to me but its not really ‘floral’ as a scent either. Its a clean scent, Id agree, but more complex than floral or linen alone. I cant quite match the flower I smell in there – maybe very subtle lilac or water lily?
