Description
Soaring green notes provided by Iranian galbanum and floral notes from the neroli from Grasse. The middle note blossoms to its full potential with the rose of May and the iris from Florence, Italy. The end note leaves a deep trail with vetiver and Virginia cedarwood.
History
The perfumer Henri Robert succeeded Ernest Beaux (creator of Chanel N°5) and composed Chanel N°19, the last perfume to be selected by Gabrielle Chanel in person.She was looking for a bold statement. The perfumer harnessed the green notes in his formula by incorporating iris, a very expensive raw material from Florence, Italy. It brings a feminine touch to N°19. Gabrielle Chanel was born on August 19 and is a Leo. So she used her birth date to name her new, spirited perfume.
Bottle
True to the sobriety of the sleek N°5 bottle, Chanel N°19 is a square structure devoid of flourishes. The taller, thinner bottle brings a majestic touch to a charming and determined fragrance. Designed by Coco Chanel, Jacques Helleu adapted it and gave it its final shape.

Une magnifique fragrance verte et fleurie, très classe et très féminine. Ce parfum révèle une facette poudrée vraiment sublime. Je suis restée fidèle une dizaine d'année à un autre Chanel (coco), mais je viens de l'abandonner pour Chanel n°19, ma fille me dit que je sens bon, et je n'ai jamais eu autant de compliments qu'avec ce parfum. Il est très classe, tient très bien mais sait rester discret sans incommoder l'entourage.
