Which Should You Buy?
Chanel No 19 is a divisive masterpiece - either an elegant, cool green for the modern woman, or an old-fashioned, bitter assault on the senses. It demands respect and attention, standing apart from the crowd as a true test of a maturing nose.
A green aldehydic dupe of Loewe Aire. The citrus-basil opening and iris heart are close; the oakmoss-vetiver base is lighter than Loewe's classic original.
