Estee Lauder Knowing Eau de Parfum 30ml Spray

Estée Lauder Knowing Eau de Parfum 30ml is a sophisticated chypre-floral fragrance for women, launched in 1988 and one of the iconic American beauty house's most refined perfume statements. Aldehydes, rose, mimosa and plum open over a complex floral-spicy heart, settling into a deep oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood and amber base — opulent, confident and unmistakably Lauder.

Who it's for

Best for women who like classic chypre-floral fragrances with serious presence — wearers who appreciate rich, opulent perfumery and want a refined, elegant signature for evening wear, special occasions and cooler-weather use. The 30ml format is well-sized for travel and gifting.

How to wear it

1. Spray once or twice onto pulse points — wrists, neck and inside of the elbows — from roughly 15cm away.
2. Allow to dry naturally without rubbing the wrists.
3. Best applied 15-20 minutes before going out so the chypre base has time to develop.
4. Knowing projects strongly; one or two sprays is usually sufficient.
