Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No 19 Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Cologne Absolute Eau de Parfum
Tom Daxon's Cologne Absolute is a divisive floral-green affair. Some find it a fresh, sophisticated take on a classic, while others are put off by its green intensity and pronounced white floral femininity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that stands out.

Season and Occasion Fit

No 19 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its clean, composed green and iris accords make it an excellent choice for office or formal wear, radiating professionalism. While some find it too 'serious' for casual or date nights, its subtle projection (in modern formulations) means it rarely offends.

Cologne Absolute Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean character make it acceptable for office wear, though some might find the white florals a bit too prominent. It's best suited for casual day wear due to its invigorating nature, but its understated elegance could work for certain date settings. The reviews indicate it's not a powerhouse, so it won't overwhelm in closer quarters.
