Estee Lauder Knowing

I have been wearing this scent for years. EVERYWHERE I go I get compliments and folks asking me what I'm wearing. I've had men (as well as women) that I work with stop the conversation and specifically ask what perfume I have on. This is truly a classic scent that will NEVER go out of style. I'm not a huge fan of floral or candy-scented fragrance. I love the woodsy/spice scents. It's different and helps me feel empowered.

Did the ingredients changed?

I have Used Knowing for little over 35 years. And this is the only perfume that I have used . I usually buy two or three at a time so I don’t run out of them. I've purchased two in year 2020 and recently bought 3). I'm using the one that I bought in year 2020... this Knowing is so weak that it doesn't last long. It fades fast. So I tried the one that I recently bought and it's the same. It's NOT the same Knowing, significantly different from the previous one!! Could these be Fake?

Knowing parfum is a wonderful fragrance.I lost my scarf in the church parking lot once, and a lady found it and said "I knew this scarf belonged to you,because it has your fragrance on it and you always smell sooo good"That really made me smile. I purchased my daughter a bottle for Christmas several yrs. ago and THAT.S ALL SHE WEARS!! We really get a kick out of friends when we are both out,they always say "We can't tell which one of you smell sooo good." We tell them "it's both of us,we are wearing the same fragrance". Please never discontinue this fragrance - I was layering it with the body cream,but can no longer find it.Do you still carry it??

Oldie But A Goodie

Reminiscent of fragrances past, this is a classic. My Dad bought this for me years ago and boy could my Dad pick a women's fragrance. He was born in the 30's and grew up in the 50's...if there is any fragrance that epitomizes that era...it is this one. I love it and l always will...
