Forest Scent, My Love

I walk through the forest in my green leather jacket. It’s April. It rained earlier, now the sun is shining. I smell flowers, moss, and slightly damp wood. It’s beautiful here.

After months of circling around this scent, repeatedly entering the store, spraying it on, hesitating - I finally bought it. I didn’t hesitate because of the scent itself, which fascinated me from the very first second, nor because of the price. It was my age back then (early 20s) and the scent felt very grown-up and mature. Would one claim it’s an old lady scent? At some point, I suddenly didn’t care anymore and bought it. The saleswoman even mentioned that it doesn’t sell very often. So I expressed my fear that I might be too young for this scent, and she simply said, “Even retirees buy sugary bombs like that one (pointing to the Dior shelf, probably Hypnotic Poison) everyone should wear what they like, period!” How right she was. Beaming with joy, I left the store. Since then, I’ve received several compliments for the scent. One person actually said, “Grandma scent, boring,” but that person belongs more to the Bruno Banani / Axe -Overkill faction, so: I can live with that ^^.

When I study, I wear N°19 because it transports me to the forest scenario described above. It helps me focus and has a calming effect on me. I can wear it every day.

What else should I write? Chanel N°19, I love you forever, no matter what they will say.

You really shouldn't care about what others think of the scent, I never have. I've been wearing this fragrance since the 70s, and if I had kids, I’d already be a grandma still wearing it. You definitely have great taste!! **BASTA**

You did everything right!
Wear what you like! Be who you want to be!
No19 has style and class.
And if you come across a "grandma" wearing No19, she just picked a really great scent for herself.

For me, it's also a youthful scent, even though I'm over 50 now. I bought it when I was 19 and felt like a lovely young lady. I still love it today ☺️

Well, No. 19 is definitely not an old-fashioned scent for me. It's actually one of my favorites... green, fresh, and soft at the same time. It works for any occasion and, in my opinion, it's a fragrance for all ages.

Exactly! It's great that you took it with you and that it transports you to this beautiful scene in the woods. 😊
