The Story of Knowing
When on a holiday trip in the south of France, Evelyn H. Lauder, was intrigued with a floral scent that wafted through the garden below her balcony.
She searched for the source and found that it was the pittosporum flower, which she immediately knew could be the floral center of a wonderful fragrance. So beautifully orchestrated is the deep, warm scent of Knowing that it can almost be touched and felt.
The elegant bottle, which looks sculpted from a solid crystal, is an excellent example of how an Estée Lauder fragrance pleases your every sense. It brings the luxurious distinction of Knowing into the palm of your hand.

Knowing by Estee Lauder - When a rose is combined with potent notes, like the amber and patchouli here, it can be more abstract. This scent is openly sexy.
