Estēe Lauder Knowing Legacy is a feminine chypre that pairs a floral heart with woody, earthy and spicy depth.

Skunky's take: A night owl's pick; made for evenings out.

What does Knowing Legacy smell like?

It opens with the juicy fruitiness of raspberry and blackcurrant. The heart turns floral and softly powdery with damask rose and orris concrete. The base is where it settles: sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and styrax give it a woody, earthy warmth with an animal edge and a spicy undertone. Dior Oud Ispahan and Estēe Lauder Azurēe Legacy have a close profile.
