Estée Lauder 1988 EDP
Knowing
Estée Lauder Knowing is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Harry Frémont. Knowing opens with Green, Rose, Tuberose, and Mimosa, settles into a heart of Pittosporum, Orange Blossom, Cedar, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Spicy, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Estée Lauder's Knowing carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
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.

Best 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.
