No. 19

A bold fragrance with a bold character. The fiery green notes of galbanum combine with the powdery notes of iris in perfect balance. The latest fragrance launched and worn by Gabrielle Chanel. An uncompromising composition, in the spirit of its creator.

Composition

A bold floral-woody-green fragrance that plays with contrasts.

A perfect balance between the bursting green notes of galbanum and the softness of the powdery notes of iris pallida. A more floral, rich, and unctuous variation, where ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, and rose are magnified.

INSPIRATION

N°19 is the other great CHANEL issue.

The last perfume launched and worn by Gabrielle Chanel. A fragrance that pays tribute to her birth date: August 19, 1883.

When she came up with the idea for this new women's fragrance, she faced reluctance from those around her, who didn't believe a new fragrance could coexist with Nº 5. Obstinate, Coco refused to be convinced and commissioned Henri Robert to create a composition with a character as powerful as Nº 5. And she achieved it, in a completely different olfactory register: a contrasting accord of green and powdery notes. Mademoiselle died a few weeks after the launch of this new fragrance, on January 10, 1971.

"To be irreplaceable, you have to be different...": No. 19 marks the final glimpse of this unusual, bold, and sunny female personality.
