Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a marine scent so realistic it'll have some reaching for their barf bags while others find it utterly compelling. Not a blind buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This fragrance is renowned for its beast-mode projection and longevity, making it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is often key. Its deep, complex, and luxurious chypre profile, coupled with strong performance, makes it perfect for formal events or a memorable date night.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its intensely oceanic and unique profile, which borders on challenging for some, means it's not ideal for a formal office environment. However, its fresh aquatic nature makes it a good fit for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and for sporting activities where a potent, distinctive scent is less of a concern.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Musky, Mossy accords and Vetiver, Sandalwood notes
