    I agree with the other reviewers here--Knowing is ugggh...strong. When some fragrance website classified Knowing as a floral chypre--my favorite category--I was intrigued. Normally go for floral...

    I tested this twice (so I'm not a regular user), but add me to the people who consider this an unpleasant 'old lady' fragrance. This was too strong, and it was like I'd taken a too-big whiff of...

    My favourite EL fragrance. It is powerful, very sensual and sophisticated. Unique.

    I got a sad laugh from all the "old lady" comments here. My mother didn't have a signature scent when I was growing up--I remember Norell, Replique, Ciara, Ultima (anyone else remember that one?),...

    I'm another who wore Knowing for years, tried a few other things, and came back to it after nothing else compared. Of course it's all in the body chemistry, but Estee Lauder, may she RIP, named...

    Knowing is my very favorite fragrance in spite of many beautiful ones that have been produced over the years since this one was introduced. Men DO like this scent, and it lingers for a long time...

    One of my close friends signature fragrance. I wear it occasionally, and each time I wonder why I don't wear it more often: It's a beatiful floral chypre (emphasize on CHYPRE), very well...

    Knowing is one of those well kept secrets - its true that men absolutely love it. Yes, it is strong and the trick is to be careful in applying it. Applied with restraint, it is very very sexy.

    Something in Knowing reacts poorly on my chemistry. Seriously vile on me.

    Stinks. Seriously, I gagged right after I smelled it. Simply bitter and awful smelling. Too much, too strong. I felt sick after just a whiff. Reminds me of men's fragrances.

    A chypre with a capital "C," Knowing is one of those fragrances that isn't "easy" to wear, but it's worth the effort. It's a strong, woodsy chypre; if you spray on even a little too much, it can be...
