Advantages: Flowery smell with a hint of love! Disadvantages: you cannot buy the accompanying accessories as you can with Chanel no.5
I absolutely love this product - it is a long lasting and original perfume coming from what i believe is the best brand available. I usually wear this perfume when I go out for dinner or drinks, and find that although long lasting it is not overpowering in the slightest, and is very different from other chanel products. It may be expensive - but if you want to have a classy smell of flowers about you then I highly recommend it! Although I am aware that chanelno19 has reduced the products it sells - so if you want to own a set (like that which is available for other products) you will be disappointed. As always from Chanel the bottle looks lovely on any dresser - this perfume could be the perfect gift for any girl (or for ones self!!)! ...

The scent itself was created by Henri Robert and No19 has gone on to become a timeless classic in its own right.
It is described as ...
