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.
This is a fiercely divisive white floral, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of fresh jasmine and others finding it overwhelming or simply 'nice' but overpriced. If you're a devoted white floral fiend, it's worth a sniff.

Occasions
Its potent sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, where it could be distracting. However, its sophisticated floral character and impressive performance lend itself well to date nights and formal events, though it can also be dressed down for casual wear by some.
