N ° 19, Gabrielle Chanel's latest perfume
Gabrielle Chanel used to say “To be irreplaceable, you have to be different”… “N ° 19” is the other big issue of the Chanel brand. “N ° 19” has a special place in the house of Chanel because it is the last perfume to be launched during Coco Chanel's lifetime. This fragrance pays her a real tribute since the "19" is Gabrielle's birthday. When the latter exposes her desires for this new perfume, she comes up against the reluctance of those around her. Listening only to her intuition, Gabrielle Chanel turned to Henri Robert to create a bold fragrance with a strong temperament. The contrasting accord between green and powdery notes thus signs the “N ° 19”. Released just a few days before the death of Coco Chanel, "N ° 19" will forever remain her last extravagance, her last bang and more than anything,
The iris at the heart of N ° 19
N ° 19 is an uncompromising composition, like Coco Chanel. Here, the iris is at the heart of the composition, it is luminous and transparent. Between the galbanum of Iran, the flower of Neroli from Grasse, the rose of May and the iris of Florence, the heart offers an absolute Mediterranean fullness. In the background, the freshness of vetiver subtly reveals the scents of iris. This powdery fullness is enveloped by musks and sandalwood, which gives the whole a soft sensuality. Like the sobriety of the N ° 5 bottle, the N ° 19 bottle opts for a simple and square architecture, stripped of all frills.
Released in 1970, in the midst of a moral revolution, “N ° 19” conquered women thanks to its fragrances which were controversial for the time. The unique combination of green notes and powdery iris has become a great classic of the house of Chanel. Through "N ° 19", the journey becomes possible, a journey through majestic and timeless fragrances. Because it is Gabrielle Chanel's latest perfume, “N ° 19” has a very special dimension. It will forever represent the freedom of women, freedom so dear to Mademoiselle.
