Actually, this is a comment for three fragrances: Knize Sec, Two, and Forest. Since all three are descendants of the legendary Knize Ten and share similar characteristics, I will limit myself to one rating: Mediocre.
I give each of the three mentioned fragrances 60-70%, with Sec being the best among them for me. However, the EdTs are not even similar... Forest comes with distinctly green tones straight from the rain-soaked forest, Two immediately envelops the wearer with a concentrated rose, and Sec leaves a warm, tingling sensation that makes you curious for more. Unfortunately, more does not come, and that is the first common weakness. All three show hardly any development on me and just drift along, one a bit longer than the other. While Forest reminds me a bit of a -sorry- bad Green Irish Tweed, I perceive Sec as a crowd-pleaser similar to Le Male, with an old-fashioned accent. I even see Two more as unisex with a tendency towards femininity, which is not bad, but I would have expected a clearer statement from Knize. Aside from the scent experience and development, which is always a matter of taste, longevity and sillage are okay (best with Two), but not nearly as good as Ten.
It was a good attempt, but ultimately none of the three can match the excellent original in any of the possible ratings.
