I am only a beginner at this, but...
I got into perfume more seriously about a year ago or so, and I distinctly remember smelling Chanel fragrances and not enjoying them, feeling they were too old fashioned and unexceptional. From time to time, when at my local perfume stores, I would go to the Chanel stand and smell a couple of perfumes, just because I knew that some day they would reveal themselves to me.
It happened two weeks ago, when I smelled no. 5 and thought it was abnormally good and completely outstanding. I was lucky enough to know that 19 was also considered a gem. I did not know what to expect - I remembered hearing it was a bit weird (in an excellent way), but didn't know it was such a green one. I immediately fell in love, and made my first purchase in store. I usually go home and try to find the best deal, but I couldn't help myself this time. I am wearing it today, and just felt compelled to write about it. What a wonderful, mysterious, and unique fragrance.
