Chanel No 19 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1970. No 19 opens with Green, Bergamot, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Chanel's No 19 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

About

Opens with a sharp, almost biting burst of green notes and bergamot, evoking freshly cut stems and damp earth. This quickly settles into a powdery heart of iris and rose, softened by hints of lily of the valley and narcissus, giving it a cool, sophisticated floral edge. The dry down is a luxurious embrace of vetiver, moss, and subtle leather, grounding the greens with an earthy depth that is both clean and complex.
