    Like many people of my generation, I miss the days when fragrances were a work of art. For years now designers have been making gourmands and fresh, fruity florals, and I can't take it anymore,...

    Absolutely beautiful and complex scent. I wore this when it was first introduced--it was actually my first "serious" fragrance. I decided to try it again after all these years and fell in love...

    Knowing is a lovely, gentle, sophisticated scent to me. THe bitter orange in the top stays fairly prominent on my skin, reminding me of a much softer Messe de Minuit. Something about this blend...

    This is my hands-down favorite (as well as my husbands). This one has been around for a while and I think of it as somewhat of a classic fragrance. It is a very sensual, exotic, earthy scent as...

    Knowing is probably my all time favourite fragrance, which is really saying something, as I have around 100 perfumes! I have been wearing this for the last 15 years and will continue to do so for...

    Edited: 12/01/08 I guess my chemistry is changing because Estee Lauder fragrances are starting to get along better with my skin. I retried Knowing recently and it dried down to a clean, soapy...

    Another soapy one (on me) but this one at least smells like those little french milled boxed soaps that hotels like Sheraton or Hilton keep in their bathrooms. Lasting power was rather good. I like...

    I'll admit, initially it was those black & white screen sirenish 80's ads of Paulina Porizkova that drew me to try this fragrance, but once I bought a bottle at Charles A. Stevens, I realized what...

    I recently bought a bottle of this in search of "real" parfume - meaning something with some sophistication & staying power. I was surprised to read other reviews that likened it to other EL...

    I would say Knowing is my signature perfume that I wear to work. Like all EL perfumes, it is very strong and must be used sparingly. Usually a half a squirt is all I need. I like it because it...

    I have worn Knowing since it came out in the 80's. I was 20 something then. Fond memories of going back and getting little sample vials at Neiman Marcus! Must have worn it daily for a year before...

    As many others have said, I keep coming back to Knowing as my signature fragrance. It can be strong and I have found that if I sort of "mist" around me, rather than spray directly on my skin I do...

    As Lippyloo has already stated, Knowing has a lot in common with Aromatics Elixir, and even Youth Dew, but not the heavy deep powder of Youth Dew, and not the "screeeeching" sharp green notes of...

    I got this several months ago but have not really worn it much because i thought it was to feminine for me to wear. Guess what??? It isnt. It's almost identical to Aramis for men. Maybe a...

    I quite enjoy this fragrance, not one that I would wear myself, I think it's for a more mature woman... not to say "old lady" by any means. I smelled it for the first time last night, we had a...

    If you like the warm chypre drydown of Aromatics Elixir or Youth-Dew but find both of them just too #$%@ strong, you might really enjoy Knowing! I haven't bought it in a while but I remain strongly...
