About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Chanel N°19 (1970) is a floral green fragrance built on a stark, verdant galbanum opening sharpened by hyacinth, bergamot, and neroli. That green blast gives way to a cool, powdery heart of iris, orris root, rose, lily-of-the-valley, narcissus, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The base grounds the composition in oakmoss, vetiver, leather, cedar, musk, and sandalwood, leaving an earthy, woody trail that feels tailored rather than soft.

Collectors prize N°19 for its uncompromising green character—galbanum and iris dominate, with oakmoss and vetiver adding depth. It suits those who prefer dry, mossy, and rooty florals over sweet or fruity profiles. Best worn in spring or daytime, it reads as formal and self-possessed. If you appreciate vintage green chypres or iris-forward scents, this is a benchmark; sample first if you are wary of bitter galbanum or powdery iris.

中文簡介

Chanel N°19(1970)係一款花香綠色調香水,以白松香、風信子、佛手柑同橙花開場,青綠銳利。中調轉為鳶尾、鳶尾根、玫瑰、鈴蘭、水仙、茉莉同依蘭依蘭,粉質冷靜。基調用橡苔、香根草、皮革、雪松、麝香同檀香,泥土木質收尾,乾爽而唔甜。

適合鍾意乾燥、苔蘚、根莖花香嘅收藏家,多數喺春季或日間用,氣質正式、自持。如果你鍾意復古綠色西普或鳶尾主導嘅香水,呢支係基準;但若怕苦澀白松香或粉感鳶尾,建議先試香。
