No.19 Eau de Parfum

I have been searching for a special go-to scent for a couple of years and have tried so many fragrances. I prefer bright sparkling fresh or fruity florals that can energize and take me to a happy place. It's been a challenge as potential fragrances either fizzled out, changed or gave massive headache at drydown. Recently, I was at the mall and sampled Chanel no. 19 eau de parfum and was …Read more

I am a perfume collector. I have so many perfumes and love wearing perfume daily. It lifts me up, makes me feel happy. I have always been a vanilla/floral/a little bit of peach or maybe apricot fan, and I never thought I would actually like no 19. I don't like no 5, I received as a birthday present from my husband and gave it to my mom. I happened to order some samples and no 19 was one of …Read more

I, like many before me, have read Perfumes: The Guide about twelve times. I make lists, I edit, I find, I try... and No. 19 was on my list forever. It sounded so familiar because I think for many of us older than age 35 this fragrance was probably worn by women around us when we were little. I smelled and it though, well of COURSE, that's Number 19

I would like to be gentle …Read more

I ordered a back up bottle today, the equivalent of building a bunker at the edge of the millennium, I fear world war and pestilence. I'm told there is a movie where Adolf HItler wakes up, bemused, and finds that the bullet that blitzed his brain simply sent him to sleep for 70 years.
He's back, and I imagine the fields of Iris pallida and Rose de Mai as scorched earth. Coco, no …Read more

This is one of my top 5 favorites of Chanel perfumes. I absolutely love No.19 in edt. Mossy, Cool, Green, woody and casual with an aire of mystery and sophistication. Like being in a lush forest, sort of dry but not stuffy, slightly detached but not cold. I always feel clean and wonderful when I wear this.This is a perfect scent, the projection is great to for an edt. Lasts quite a while with …Read more

If I had to wear only one perfume for the rest of my life... this would be it. I love the smell. The first moments after applications it smells stark and woody, but then it settles down to a lovely, sweet, and sophisticated scent.
The only reason I don't give a full score is because I wished it lasted longer on the skin.

People always fuss about No. 5.

They really need to know that No. 19 exists.

Firstly, No. 19 doesn't look like the urine of a dehydrated workaholic in desperate need of water.

Secondly, the scent of this perfume smells like spring in winter, a new budding bloom snap frozen in a droplet of ice. It's both refreshing, fresh, and crisp. The most discernible …Read more

I don't really get the rave reviews of No.19. I'm going to give it 2 lippies because it's OK. I sometimes like wearing my Chanel No.19 EDP to business meetings when I want to come across and feel a bit conservative, matured, yet quite inoffensive.
The scent is very old-school and old-fashioned for me. It's way too harsh for the first couple of minutes and then I only …Read more

EDT Review

I was bought this as an 18th birthday present by my mother, and I adore it. The scent is fresh and green, without being too overpowering. It's also a very androgynous scent, with lovely woody notes to it. I find it works in all situations, but being a student, it is most definitely the most sophisticated perfume I own, and the one I wear for 'dressy' events

Omg I fell in love with this perfume. I think I've found the one, my signature smell. So many different notes in one bottle.
