N°19 in detail
N°19 Eau de Toilette was the final fragrance Gabrielle Chanel launched, and one she wore herself. Its name pays tribute to her birthday, 19 August; the house describes a bold composition that makes no concessions, like Mademoiselle herself. The page gives neither the year nor the perfumer.
Chanel names two materials, without tiers, that play on contrasts. Galbanum, a green, vibrant resin, gives the fragrance its sharp character. Soft, powdery iris pallida softens it and gives it its elegance. The house files the whole among woody, green florals, in perfect balance.
N°19 is worn in spring and autumn, mostly by day. It is a singular, distinguished green, powdery floral, for those who love dry irises and fragrances with character. It goes along with a working day as well as a lunch.
Three niche fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Iris de Gris by L'Artisan Parfumeur and Oceania by Roja Parfums bring together galbanum and iris; Iris Porcelana by Ex Nihilo shares iris.
