Pros & Cons
- ✅ Seriously divisive yet utterly compelling, Knowing is a powerhouse chypre that demands attention.
- ✅ One of Sophia Grojsman's masterpieces — rich chypre-floral with serious depth
- ✅ Incredibly long-lasting — survives full days easily
- ❌ You'll either adore its unapologetic complexity or recoil from its 'old-school' punch; there's no middle ground here.
- ❌ Heavy and serious — wrong for casual contexts
- ❌ Oakmoss reads very vintage post-reformulation
