   |  You can call this scent "dated" or something out of "grandma's closet' but it sure smells "girly". That's right, girly! Women don't understand that feminine scents are a turn on for men. So many of these new aquatics for women don't smell girly at all. The best way to explain it is a cologne for men that smells girly and not manly would be a turn off to women. So ladies, there is nothing wrong with a woman smelling feminine even in the year 2009. White Shoulders is feminine and it is a turn on for men. Unless some woman prefer smelling manly?30 May 2009 |
  | My all time favorite "lady" perfume. Completely appropriate for any occasion. Clean, warm and lovely. I can't stop smelling the crook of my elbow in the lingering amber-vanilla drydown. I absolutely refuse to care that this has a stupid name, bad advertizing, and a drugstore reputation. I've never found anything as lovely. 01 April 2009 |
 | Classic. Identifiable. Lovely. I have worn this often and received more compliments on it than on any other scent, even ones that are more expensive. Whatever it contains seems to match my body chemistry perfectly. 24 February 2009 |

| I had an aunt who always wore White Shoulders... I loved being around her when she got “dolled up” and perfumed. The fragrance is a classic white floral, very girly. I've read it's been reformulated since Elizabeth Arden took over from Evyan, others say it’s the same as always. Some classic women’s fragrances, Shalimar for instance, are as good as unisex these days, but not White Shoulders. 28 January 2009 |

| I'll just put this out there - this is the one scent that has absolutely floored me. A date wore this and I couldn't get enough. I know a lot of women (my wife for instance) think this is something "grandma wore." Maybe they're right. But if that's the case, grandma knew something their granddaughters don't. Like a Life magazine photo spread of post War New York in autumn or a Sarah Vaughan album, this scent may be outmoded. I may be as well. I couldn't care less. They don't make them like this, nor the women who wear it. 19 November 2008 |
 |  I have no experience with the original version. But, this latest is eau de grandma's closet. It turns on some people, too. For some odd reason, a couple of people have made me presents of this. I don't wear it. I have also been told it smells similar to Joy. It doesn't. 04 August 2008 |
