Knowing, a Rich Rose Chypre

Estee Lauder Knowing is a rich rose chypre. Our version keeps that feel, opening with tuberose, mimosa, and plum before a rose, jasmine, and orris heart settles over oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood, and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Estee Lauder built Knowing as a bold, elegant scent, all velvety rose and tuberose over mossy, woody depths. The idea was a confident, sophisticated femininity.

That rich elegance is its appeal. The tuberose and plum give it a bright, fruity lift, the rose and jasmine add a full floral heart, and the oakmoss and patchouli give it a deep, chypre base. Our interpretation follows that same sophisticated path.
