Knowing feels like a primal force to me without being disturbing. Bright, radiant aldehyde flowers on a green mossy base....

After the wonderful Private Collection, I definitely want to get to know the older Lauder fragrances. And you've really raised my expectations! :)

It's not really delicate or soft, more powerful. But it really depends on the dosage.

...and patchouli. Despite its strength, it has a certain tenderness and softness to it. For me, it's a timeless, elegant chypre that I would classify as unisex due to its unique DNA. You can do anything with it, just please don't overdo it ;-)
