Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive throwback - you'll either adore its sophisticated, unapologetically green floral depth or find it an old-school challenge. Best for those who crave a richly complex, perhaps even 'bitchy', green scent that stands apart.
Inspired By No 19 softens Chanel's austere, galbanum-driven original into a gentler green-iris floral, sanding down the leather-oakmoss backbone that gives the real thing its famously cerebral, slightly cold character.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and rich, complex green floral profile make it a bit much for the office but perfect for making a sophisticated statement on a date or at a formal event. The 'vintage' feel mentioned by reviewers also lends itself to more considered occasions.
Seasons
A green-iris floral that suits transitional weather, without the punchy sharpness the original wears well in any season.
Occasions
Understated and refined rather than showy, it suits the office and formal settings over casual wear.
