About

Top notes are Galbanum, Hiacynth, Bergamot and Neroli; middle notes are Iris, Orris Root, Rose, Narcissus, Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang; base notes are Oakmoss, Vetiver, Leather, Cedar, Musk and Sandalwood. Number 19 in the name refers to the birth date of Coco Chanel, August 19. The perfume was launched in 1970 when Coco Chanel was 87 years old, a year before she died. It was created by Henri Robert, a perfume creator which created many other perfumes of the Chanel house. The composition merges aggressive green note of galbanum and woody dusky note of iris as a harmonious bridge between delicate floral heart and leathery-woody base. Chanel N°19 is hard to classify and describe. It includes fragrant notes of galbanum, neroli, bergamot, jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, iris, vetiver, sandalwood, leather and musk.

- Both houses are premium (typically $100–250), so price won't be the deciding factor.
