Estee Lauder Knowing - 75ml Eau De Parfum Spray

Only very confident girls / women can wear it. Men rarely perceive it the first time. Knowing is incredibly beautiful, it is a masterpiece and that is why it is so different from 90% of what is now presented in perfume shops. Knowing like the Mona Lisa is not for everyone, only for the public with a decent intellectual background. The persistence of the fragrance is excellent. Feels great on the skin even after a shower. The scarf, perfumed a week ago, still retains recognizable honey-woody notes. The train is pronounced, this should be taken into account if you plan to be in a little help. Not everyone appreciates a vintage, chypre fragrance. If confidence and selfishness are your forte, you can safely attach colleagues to a masterpiece of perfumery in a small office.

Absolutely for a queen!

I purchased Knowing many years ago and I still love it. I purchase it for the 'other' gramma for Christmas and she loves it too. I buy other kinds, they are all the best smelling I have ever been around. Although I am always asked when I wear this one and Beautiful the name so they can purchase them. I met Estee in Pogues many years ago and I was getting her colonge, she was there for a meeting I think. Beautiful lady, and so very nice. Will always purchase this and also my daughter and my mother..I've got the family in on the perfume wearing, and how so Beautiful! Thank you.

Epic, Intoxicating, Unique and Exquisite

Knowing is a fragrance unlike any other I have ever experienced. I own and love dozens of fragrances with a myriad of scent profiles, but this one is different. I purchased this for the first time without sampling first and I don't regret a thing. This fragrance is an absolute masterpiece. I will say that this fragrance is not for everyone but if it is for you...it's quite the journey. It's a very powerful fragrance with remarkable longevity. It's not flirty, or overly feminine...it's intense, complex and sensuous without a hint of sweetness. It's not for the faint of heart or those who like light and breezy scents. I get a great deal of woody complexity, with deep florals and soft ambers. For me fragrance is an experience...it sets a scene, it tells a story, it ... MoreKnowing is a fragrance unlike any other I have ever experienced.

I get a great deal of woody complexity, with deep florals and soft ambers. For me fragrance is an experience...it sets a scene, it tells a story, it evokes memories or conjures a fantasy. Knowing is EXPERIENCE, and a stirring one at that. For me this fragrance is a cool stormy night in a city not unlike Gotham. It is rain beating against a window as the sounds of the city echo in the streets below. Knowing is many small candles flickering on a mahogany coffee table in a darkened room. It's smeared red lipstick and tousled hair. Knowing is the incredibly strong hands of a dominant, yet forbidden lover whom you've secretly spent a night with once a year for almost a decade. It's gently rolling thunder and flashes of lightening in the concrete jungle. Knowing is dark and complicated, it's moody, it's eerily foreboding and forbidden. It's a night it times past. Knowing is sensual and commanding. It's almost melancholy in a splendid way. THIS is a special fragrance. Some may say it's profile is dated but I don't find that to be the case. This fragrance transcends time and place. Again, this is not for fans of fun and flirty fragrances (which I also love). If intensity, sensual depth and moody fragrances draw you in, you can't go wrong with Knowing. The price for this amount of fragrance is also outstanding. It radiates such luxury at what I consider a bargain.

Knowing is the perfume that makes me feel beautiful!!

Knowing is the only perfume I will ever wear. I receive a lot of compliments on how my perfume smells on me. I will not wear any other perfume. I've been wearing Knowing since it first came out, I believe it was 1985. There were a few times in my life when I as a single parent and money was tight; I could not afford Estee Lauder Knowing & I chose not to wear any perfume at all. I have always been true to my Knowing Perfume & always will be! I am so very blessed, my wonderful Husband of 8 year: always makes sure that I always have a reserve bottle of my signature perfume "Knowing"....

Marvelous fragrance. Keep it coming.

I have been shopping at Dillards and purchasing this perfume for many years. It never seizes to amaze me on how many compliments I receive. This is one of the most favorite perfumes of the Estee Lauder line that I have purchased over the years. It is hard to choose which one I want each time I go to Dillards, but I always seem to gravitate to KNOWING. Wonderful fragrance and blends well with me. I had to order this on line this time around, could not get it in the store. They were always out of stock. This is a keeper. Wish I could have 2 or 3 of the other perfumes I use to purchase in the Estee Laudder. .

Memories

Since I was 14 I have loved Knowing perfume. I remember going to the mall and would go to stores that sold perfume and search through the counters trying various perfumes. When I found Knowing I was in love! I sprayed it on some paper and kept it with me. When my birthday came, it was the first thing I asked for. It became tradition to get it for my birthday every year. Since my birthday is in December, sometimes it ended up being in my stocking for Christmas. Through the years birthdays and Christmas have changed. It isn't like when I was younger, though I still keep the tradition going and will treat myself to Knowing perfume. Scent is what triggers memories the most and Knowing reminds me of the good times when I was a kid, when birthdays and Christmas was spent ... MoreSince I was 14 I have loved Knowing perfume.

Scent is what triggers memories the most and Knowing reminds me of the good times when I was a kid, when birthdays and Christmas was spent with friends and family. The smell of Knowing for me is a warm hug on a snowy Christmas morning.

My Signature Scent

I have been wearing this cologne since the early 80's when it came out, it is the only cologne that I wear. I was dropping my kids off at daycare when I saw a purse in the road, I picked up the purse, looked for contact info and called the owner and arranged to meet to return her purse. The owner of the purse was an Estée Lauder rep, she gave me a bottle of their new scent "Knowing" as a thank you for returning the purse. Prior to that I wore Beautiful, however, I have not worn any other cologne since. Please do not discontinue this cologne, it would be most difficult for me to find another fragrance that works with my body chemistry like this one.

One of the Best Fragrances of ALL TIME

Knowing will go down as one of the best fragrances of all time. My grandmother used this exceptional fragrance and I recall the first time smelling it all those years ago. Elegant and revered, Knowing settles into a light yet powerful scent you cannot get enough of. Being that it is an eau de parfum the staying power is evident throughout the day. I will go as far to say this fragrance is better than most male fragrances available today. Do yourself a favor and buy this! It is amazing!

One of the very best!!

This fragrance is such a rich and gorgeous scent. I really love it! It is definitely not a sickly sweet or overly floral scent but it does feature roses in such a satisfying way. I love the 'dryness' of this scent, it does not have any of the yuckky overly sweet mess in it that current fragrances seem to have. I am reminded of many green herbs and a verdant forest floor. This is really cozy for fall and winter but it also shines during hot summer weather, making it good for year-round wear. Totally love and recommend!

The best fragrance offered by Estée Lauder

I don't know why this fragrance doesn't get the respect it deserves. It's a classic and I always receive compliments when I wear it. This has become my signature scent. I have been wearing Knowing for over 25 years. I stumbled upon it in a gift set and fell in love instantly. I wish they would have sets that included different products related to it. If you want a classy and not overpowering scent this is the one for you. I have tried many other perfumes but they never replace this classic. I love Knowing and you will too!
