UGH! Smells like chemicals and is way too strong. Not my cup of tea. It may be "haunting", but in a bad way.

A lovely, dry, haunting chypre with amazing sillage that is definitely out-of-step with current fragrance trends; there are no fruits or desserts or ozonics in this one whatsoever, and the florals...

Sexy, deep incense. The lotion is the best way to go. This fragrance I respect! Be courageous, young ladies, and wear it with confidence!

Knowing is my signature scent -- I have been wearing this since my late 20s. Sure, it's not for everyone and it is definitely long lasting. The drydown is simply perfect for my skin. I must have...

This is super STRONG and long lasting! This is the BUG SPRAY of all perfumes! I don't know...........I find that Estee Lauder's perfumes have that "something" in them that I just don't like! That...

Wow, this is an interesting fragrance. Aldehydic, floral, and woody-spicy at the same time. Supposed to smell like rose but I don't get a whole lot of rose at all. It's a serious fragrance so I...

This was a bit strong when sprayed sparingly - then it became 10 times stronger as the day wore on. It began to choke everyone around me until I washed it off.

How did I miss this one for so long. Mesmerizing and magical. Lush, rich, feminine, creamy, and sexy. This is a mature fragrance that also says come closer. I would have to check back to the...

This is the first perfume my parents bought me as a teenager, and I still love it. The scent lasts all day just be careful not to apply too much. The notes in this perfume might be too strong for...

I will give it this - it lasts forever. And while not altogether unattractive with my chemistry, it is just nothing special. Luca Turin lauded this as a wonderful "mossy rose" - the moss I get...

This is a dead-sexy floral chypre. This is the fragrance of a confident, sexy, tastefully dresses in black, woman, regardless of age. This fragrance is a mossy rose and all goth. A little goes a...

For the past 15+ years I've been almost ashamed to admit I love this, to the point of sneaking to EL counter to purchase it. Why(?)perfume snobs dismiss it for being cheap, etc. Can't keep this a...

Described in the blurb as a floral chypre I decided to test this as chypres always do well on my skin. Also they are less numerous so I thought Yipee! a chypre I can get easily. The top notes are...

I discovered Knowing only a year ago. But in that time it has become the staple in my fragrance line-up. It's the one I reach for when I don't have a definite idea in mind - my sort of in between...

I tested it yesterday for the first time because I mistook it for cinnabar at first. I was pleasantly surprised after the first 15-20 mins. To me it smells very clean, muscy, soapy and elegant. I...
