Knize Two (1978)
by Knize

Knize Two - a long forgotten white floral beauty...?
For some one who has tried Knize Ten, Knize two would be a polar opposite...a floral? a beautiful surprise indeed. Makes me wonder, how pleasantly surprised could one be if a scent didnt reveal or hint at what to expect... a composition which is Indolic in nature...it's prominence(lovely tribute) in Jasmine with rose and other floral notes peeking in and out....i also detect a hint of orange.."just a hint"..done in a deliciously bitter, juicy way..could be the combination of florals..but it certainly creates a olfactory image to that effect...(back to Jasmine...) the nature of Jasmine so soft and innocent, just like the flower...feels like i have held a big bunch of these flowers with rose petals sprinkled over it with citrus elements....... it's is no doubt a very realistic floral done in a very "niche" way. by mid notes a gentle warmth of Iris adds a decaying/slightly earthy floral kind of bite...a musky base follows softening things with hints of woody notes loaded with ooomphs of moss holding the last breaths of floral notes...the basenotes are not "splendid" but still very well done. ....all in all, Knize has been as honest to a floral note just the way it paid tribute to leather in Knize 10. so, one can expect top quality.
Feminine? well, depends on how one takes to floral scents...Two was definitely made for men yet, a brutally true floral in every means...could be because of master blend of citrus elements with a strong musky base...for me, a must have. not many Jasmine based scents out there of such class...and to see they composed this in 1978? just incredible and wayyyyy ahead of time.

Knize Two is very distinctive. The aldehyde really intensifies the floral stage, and gives it great longevity. This is a linear scent with three stages: aromatic green, complex floral, dry wood. The opening is very spicy and green, suggesting leaves, plant stalks, and pea pods! The florals are powerful but not too sweet. The wood is dry, mossy and musky. This is a different, slightly quirky scent. In its middle and final stages it reminds me a bit of Arlington, without the citrus notes. It has a persistent aromatic, almost soapy quality. I like it but will wear it only once in a while.

Perfectly correct. Grey Flannel with a somewhat differently mixed floral accord (less violet?). Very agreeable.

Looks like a very complex cologne. Simply put: it is Grey Flannel with subtle flowery hint of Knize Ten. Not so long-lasting - compared with Grey Flannel...
