Uhhh oops,
I almost slipped into Marianne Rosenberg and we don't want that.
Because old-fashioned pop music is not what Chanel No. 19 EdT is about. Quite the opposite.
I love Chanel. There is something in the scents that speaks to me and that I am always searching for.
Maybe it's the iris or the jasmine. I generally like fragrances with those notes.
After I was sad about Chanel No. 5 EdP, since I only found out later that the Eau de Parfum was a newly launched version of the classic, I took my time with No. 19. My heart was pounding loudly when I smelled the Eau de Toilette. I like all variations, but the EdT won me over right away, so I bought it as a soul-soother.
The beginning is a bit "moody," if you can call it that. I suspect it's the galbanum that is so strongly noticeable. Since I have never smelled it pure, I can't say 100%. But the bitter scent slowly fades and makes way for a green, cozy meadow. The flowers are so delicate, without sticky sweetness, simply soothing, and the oak moss lingers on me forever.
For me, it is THE fragrance. Exactly what I have been looking for. Something delicate that envelops me and simply belongs to me. I like many perfumes. I enjoy making a statement with them. But Chanel No. 19 is me. It reflects me back. My longing for nature. The maturity, paired with a hint of youthful playfulness. It is truly magical. I can only agree with Martha24. Everyone should definitely try the fragrance, give it time like so many others, and get to know it.
