  • About The Fragrance

    A fragrance enhancer with transparent radiance that gives any perfume a certain, as the French say, "I don't know what."

    "I Don't Know What is a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to play around with perfume. Of course it can be worn as a modern wonderfully transparent aroma, but it can also be layered over anything. Often when I leave the house, I will wear a touch of sandalwood, rose, jasmine, patchouli, oud, etc. These oils are lovely but can be muddy and they don't last more than a few hours. IDKW sprayed over them makes the oil into a PERFUME. It does this because it is made with no notes!

    It is a secret combination of materials that perfumers use to highlight and enhance notes in a perfume. A Bergamot accord announces freshness, Vetiver Acetate a thin amber, Firsantol a lingering sandalwood, Iso E Super a radiance, and so on.

    It is like a building with only structure--no interior. You can fill in the interior with an oil, a scent you like, even an old scent that has lost its way. IDKW is built to layer and enhance everything else it touches."

Interesting

I got this in the space nk beauty advent and have just got round to using it. First I sprayed it on its own and didn’t really smell anything special, just a light woody scent. Nothing that stands out. Then I used it as a base for my Jo Malone perfume which took it to a much richer level making it more pronounced and longer lasting. For what it is not sure it’s worth the price but it does work as a pre base perfume to accentuate any fragrance.

Niet voor mij

Hoewel ik wel van unisex geuren houd, is deze geur het niet voor mij. Neigt meer naar een mannelijke geur. Voor deze prijs vind ik de geur niet bijzonder genoeg en heb ik genoeg andere heerlijke parfums om uit te kiezen. Ik heb er iemand anders blij mee gemaakt.

I like it but expensive

A sample size of this fragance was in the adventcalender of last year. First Intry it alone, it was nice, but not worth the high price. Then a friend told me this perfume you can layer with your other perfumes and BAM It openes a new world for me! Me favarite combo is with molecule 01 or Juliëtte has a gun not an perfume. The scent is so smooth… layerd but not too perfumed. I’m in doubt to buy a big bottle but I’m in doubt because the high price

Interesting perfume

I received a mini of this in the advent calender and I've been using it steadily since then. This is quite an interesting perfume - aptly named! It's a woody scent but not too masculine. I've been layering it with different perfumes to see if it changes anything. I'd say it adds a different depth to each one. Not sure I'd purchase a full size due to the price though.

clean skin scent

Has quickly become one of my most reached-for fragrances — and for good reason. From the first spray, it gives off this incredibly clean, sheer, and slightly citrusy aura that feels both fresh and refined. What makes it truly special is how it manages to be both minimalistic and complex at the same time. On its own, it smells like effortlessly good taste — light, airy, and modern — almost like your skin but better, with just enough character to make it memorable. But the real magic happens when you use it as a layering enhancer. It blends beautifully with other perfumes and somehow smooths out the edges, making everything smell more polished, elevated, and well-balanced. It doesn’t scream for attention, but people notice it. I’ve gotten genuine compliments from friends and even strangers, all trying to figure out what I’m wearing. The name is the perfect conversation starter: “I don’t know what.” The longevity is also better than expected for such a translucent fragrance — I can still catch soft whiffs hours later. If you love clean, modern scents with a subtle twist and you enjoy building your own signature combinations, this one’s a must-have. It’s one of those rare perfumes that feels like it belongs to you and no one else.

Wonderful complex fragrance

I adore this fragrance. It's woody and sensual and lasts ages on my skin. It's a great alternative to floral, light scents. It is more expensive than my usual fragrances but would probably buy it again as a treat. However it will lasts ages. Will buy the body wash and/or lotion to layer.

Sample size ideal for travelling

I have never heard of this brand when I opened my advent calendar, it is ideal to use for travelling but looking at the full price version and price! (why is it so expensive??) I doubt I will ever buy it. the scent is ok but a bit too heavy for me as I prefer lighter scents on a day to day basis.

Perfect for on the go

This rollerball is so handy for throwing in your bag when you just want a little scent touch up. This is quite woody and moody smelling without being overpowering or too masculine smelling. It's a great alternative to a sweet floral. I feel like it's perfect for hot summer days.
