Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Knowing EDP
Seriously divisive yet utterly compelling, Knowing is a powerhouse chypre that demands attention. You'll either adore its unapologetic complexity or recoil from its 'old-school' punch; there's no middle ground here.

Our Verdict - No.070 Knowing EDP
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.
