Estee Eau de Parfum vs No.070 Knowing Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Estee is a proper old-school floral醛 powerhouse, a love-it-or-hate-it classic that's been butchered by reformulations. Sniff a vintage bottle for the true aldehyde, oakmoss, and honey magic; the new stuff just doesn't hit the same.
Eden's take on Estee Lauder's cult-classic Knowing softens the original's famously funky, civet-heavy chypre into a cleaner, more wearable mossy-floral - a gentler introduction to the genre, though purists chasing that raw, old-school chypre depth will still want the real thing.
