Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

The powdery green iris and soft musks are particularly suited for spring's fresh start and the cool air of early summer, while the gentle warmth and subtle complexity still work for fall. It is a bit too airy and delicate for cold winter days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its quiet powdery elegance and subtle projection make it an ideal office or professional scent, while its gentle floral sophistication is also lovely for daytime dates and casual outings. It is too understated for formal evening events or active sport.

About

N°19 Poudré Eau de Parfum is a delicate, powdery green floral that opens with the crisp bite of galbanum and neroli, transitioning into a sublime heart of buttery iris and jasmine. The base is a soft cloud of white musk, vetiver, and tonka, lending a gentle, skin-like sweetness and refined earthiness. The scent is airy and sophisticated, with signature Chanel restraint - a modern, tranquil take on iris, caressed by powder and kissed by springtime greenery.
