Estee Lauder Knowing Eau de Parfum

Forgot to rate it.

Just received this extraordinary bottle and its amazing fragrance. Oh, it's love! I got acquainted with it in the fall when I tried a sample, and I fell in love. Now I have a 75ml bottle. Thank you, Makeup, for the opportunity to purchase this marvel of chypre classic at a democratic price, and for the gift. I recommend everyone to get acquainted with it, but definitely test it! Two years ago, I wouldn't have understood it and would have dismissed it.

Svetlana, my dear, it's a pity that the perfume didn't suit you. You should understand that age doesn't play any role in perceiving a scent. One can love a composition at 18 years old or at 50. It's just not your preference. I'm 37 years old.

I received the perfume today and I must say, I find it difficult to bond with it as it strongly smells like second-hand, very old-fashioned, perhaps for women over 60. I just can't understand the reviews, maybe it's worth mentioning one's age? I am 34.

This fragrance has a wonderful scent, and the chypre note is excellent. The initial notes are strong, but the overall development is unmatched. It is a very beautiful fragrance. I purchased it without testing it beforehand. Thank you, Makeup.

This is love at first breath! It's a whirlwind of memories from the first spritz. It's that scent when you take your first sniff-test and exclaim, "Yes! This is it!" It's something that will always be "expensive and abundant" and linger for hours, blending with the smell of leather. It's the most floral fragrance among all chypres. A gradual immersion into the scents of a blooming garden and the feeling of soft mossiness under your feet, with sun rays shining through the foliage. It's knowing - understanding the heart of the perfume and uncovering the perfumer's secret!

To say that this fragrance is beautiful is an understatement! It is uniquely stunning, something that can confidently be called a one-of-a-kind scent for pure enjoyment!
All the offensive words directed towards it are like a small fly barking at an elephant.
Celebrities from all over the world have been wearing it for many years, and it is something that will never go out of style because it was created ingeniously!
It is incomparable, with a mesmerizing trail that leaves you wondering every time, "What is this?!" The longevity is out of this world!
I wouldn't advise anyone to buy it, as we want to keep it all for ourselves, otherwise it won't be available in our perfume shops.

I'm always amazed by people who, to put it mildly, "overstep their boundaries" )) How can you advise someone on something if you don't understand it yourself? This is about those who are clueless about spikes. Ladies, read the classification, if spikes aren't your thing, why are you buying them? And if you decided to try them and it didn't work out for you... well, that's strictly your personal problem, and you have no right to advise anyone. After all, it's your own mistake, right?

Spikes are for decisive, daring, and extravagant ladies, for the bold ones. If you don't possess any of these qualities in your character, just pass by the spikes and go for fruits, flowers, maybe even for florientals, although not always. Pay attention to that as well.

This spike is simply beautiful, it has been my winter friend for several years, can't do without it)) I got myself another friend for the cold season. We will continue to be friends. I recommend it to all spike enthusiasts.

What a delight that not everyone likes it... It's not supposed to. Although it is a brilliant work of art. No wonder it has been praised for so many years by serious collectors and very reputable perfume critics. I adore it, wear it with pleasure and understanding. For sophisticated ladies with good taste.

I didn't buy it here. Thank God I got the 10ml size. It's very heavy, intense, and can suffocate those around you. It's old-fashioned. The longevity is killer. It's heavy artillery. I absolutely did not like it.

I have never been familiar with this fragrance before, but I had a feeling that it was meant for me and I was not mistaken. It is my personal "Fifty Shades of Grey". I have 5 samples, fortunately, in decants, which I will give as a gift to someone, as they are no longer of interest to me. Now I really want the vintage version in perfume concentration.

Recently, this has been my biggest disappointment. It's just terrible. To make it clear, it feels like the early 90s when I open my mom's closet and find many small bottles with dark brown liquid (probably everyone had those), but the labels are unreadable now. I open one of the bottles and I smell this oily, cologne-like, heavy scent that matches its color. I can't say what it smells like. Never, ever buy it without trying it first. This fragrance needs to be understood, it needs to be worn properly. I don't even know what to do with it now. Its longevity is beyond belief.

I completely agree with the previous review... on my skin, it is one of the most beautiful chypres ever. The opening, the sound, the longevity - everything is top-notch.

This fragrance is called "Chypre", and Chypre is not just the name of a neighbor in sweatpants, but rather a type of composition that is built upon specific ingredients. Chypre fragrances may not appeal to everyone, so it is not worth purchasing and then giving it a low rating just because it subjectively didn't appeal to you.

The composition of this fragrance is very beautiful and deep, with a soft and warm rose note. It vaguely reminds me of Aromatics Elixir, but with fewer herbs and more flowers. The bitterness is also less pronounced, according to my taste. These perfumes are perfect for the urban witch!

From the positive side, the only thing worth mentioning is its strong durability. It had a decent start, but then... it reminded me of my neighbor's old Soviet cologne while wearing sweatpants...

I purchased this product without trying it out, after reading numerous reviews. The scent is serious, strong, long-lasting, and chypre. Notes of powder, spices, and citrus are noticeable. It gradually unfolds over time. Personally, I liked it. This fragrance is more suitable for adult women. I recommend young girls to test it out.

This perfume is strong and bold. It's a chypre fragrance. It's shocking. I don't recommend it without testing it first.

Every fragrance has its own time and place. A scent is all about emotion! That's why Knowing is the perfect fragrance for the office and business meetings. It's a chypre scent that blends well in a masculine environment - it's all about professional partnerships, without being distracting. At the same time, it's not a strictly masculine fragrance. Sometimes, I can detect hints of forest herbs. Yesterday, I applied it on my neck along the arteries, and after a while, it transformed into a sweet honey scent. It may vary in its notes, but it always remains restrained and confident - it represents knowledge and understanding. If you're looking for a different emotion, choose a different fragrance.

At first, I was shocked! The strong smell of frankincense disappointed me. Then, I applied a little bit on my sweater and on the inside of my elbow, trying to get used to it and sniffing it. And there it was, it opened up and I started to like it. It's a matter of personal taste.

I had been contemplating buying this product for a very long time, as I had doubts about whether it would have the same fragrance that I remember from before. I received it today and checked the batch code - everything is fine. It has the exact fragrance that I remember. I didn't make a mistake, hurray! It is very long-lasting. However, I want to warn those who are not familiar with it and want to buy it: do not purchase it without testing it first. Otherwise, it may shock you at first because it is chypre, and that is a matter of personal preference. After some time, it starts to unfold. Only then can you truly understand and accept it, or outright reject it. By the way, it smells completely different on me than it does on my mother. Therefore, it is better to test it first. I think it is more suitable for mature women. Young girls are unlikely to like it.

I have purchased this fragrance from Makeup twice already and I am thrilled with it. In fact, I bought it the second time as a backup. Some people say it's a rare "stinky" scent, but it's not for everyone, completely different! You need to understand it... And I believe that first we choose it, and then it chooses us, either it suits us or not. It's a very "powerful" fragrance. Everyone asks me, "What is it???" I don't specify...

I fell in love with this perfume after catching a whiff of it on a glamorous, well-dressed brunette during my vacation. I couldn't imagine not having this perfume for myself. Although I've never been a fan of chypre fragrances, I decided to take a risk.

I brought the perfume home and started getting acquainted with it. The scent was very strong and sharp, not very pleasant, but since it was already mine, I decided that I needed to make friends with it somehow.

One of my friends had a birthday coming up, and I, being a brunette, wearing a beautiful maroon dress and vibrant lipstick, wanted to wear it. I applied a spritz on the back of my neck, under my hair, and sprayed it into the air, immersing myself in its veil. After half an hour, I was delighted with how it unfolded. This scent is not something you come across every day, and that evening I received a lot of compliments.

The fragrance is simply wonderful, but not for those who prefer light perfumes. Chypre is chypre after all.

Nowadays, I've gotten used to it. I apply it on my back, chest, and a spritz on my hair to create a veil. I only apply it to my body under my clothes after showering; it doesn't reveal its beauty on clothing. Bravo, Estee Lauder!

I ordered this fragrance a year ago and I use it during the colder seasons. I am extremely satisfied with it - it is elegant and incredibly long-lasting. Estee is Estee, no need for any extra words.

Thank you! I ordered it late last night and received it at noon today. I bought this fragrance based on the reviews. Many people say it resembles my favorite Eau du Soir Sisley, which is much more expensive. Unfortunately, I only have less than half a bottle left, but I still decided to buy it without testing it. There is something there, but it is very sharp at first. I will wait for it to develop. The delivery was excellent as always! Thank you again!

I hesitated for a long time whether to buy it or not, as there are too many memories associated with this fragrance. But I finally made up my mind. I must say, it's not the same Knowing as it was in the 90s, but still, there is no disappointment - the scent is quite recognizable, although it sounds more subdued now. It lacks the brightness, sharpness, challenge, and audacity that made it so unique, original, complex, and unlike any other fragrance. Unfortunately, its longevity and sillage are just average.

I really liked it. It is beautiful and versatile. Thank you, makeup, for the range :)

I can only feel it on myself for about 10 minutes. It starts off promising but doesn't stay on me. It sounds more interesting in cold weather. In desperation, I sprayed it on my fur hat. I couldn't feel it on myself or the fur anymore after an hour. My friends, however, can smell it on themselves and say it resembles Chanel 19. I am disappointed. I don't understand why it's like this.

Knowing is one of the most beautiful perfumes. It has a luxurious, elegant, and prestigious scent. After the first spray, the smell is loud, distinct, and reminiscent of cologne, but after a few hours, it starts to unfold. I don't detect any sweetness or honey notes; for me, it has a slightly bitter and astringent quality. It has a very long-lasting and strong sillage, and the scent remains on clothes for several days. It is a masterpiece that won't go unnoticed; it is highly compliment-worthy. However, it is important to apply it in moderation.

Good day! I would really love to have this fragrance in the TRU version! Is there any chance this is available? I am very eager to get acquainted with this scent. Thank you!

I received what I wanted, thank you.
