Chanel No 19

...refreshing yet flowery scent of Chanel No 19 never fails to remind me of sunnier days, which is always nice with this cold gloomy weather. Chanel No 19 was launched in 1970 - 48 years after Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel planned the 1923 launch of the more famous Chanel No 5. It was created by Henri Robert, the second Chanel "nose" on 19th August 1970 and coincided with Coco's 86th birthday. Coco Chanel decide to launch No 19 as she felt that the women ...
...perfume but much bolder than Chanel No 5. Many believed that Chanel No 19 would be fail, as it would never match up to the huge success of Chanel No 5. However, nearly 25 years later it is still going strong and has become a timeless classic. The perfume is sold in a very solid and square looking silver grey canister. It looks rather old fashioned and boring in today's perfume market of unusual shaped bottles and colours. The top of the canister ...

Review of Chanel No 19

...been spraying myself liberally with Chanel 19's distinctive fragrance for over twenty years now. Despite my flirting with other scents from time to time, Chanel no 19 is the perfume my friends and family identify as being "me". I've even been known to spray a whiff on my daughters' pillows before I go off on my frequent business trips, at their request. The designer, Gabrielle Chanel, launched this brand on 19th August 1970 - her own birthday. Many ...
...the success that was Chanel No 5. Gabrielle insisted that the 70's woman needed a new signature scent, something that would suit her bold, dynamic lifestyle without losing her femininity. The scent itself was created by Henri Robert and No 19 has gone on to become a timeless classic in its own right. It is described as "a bold bouquet, a harmony of white and green flowers" and is classified as floral, woody and green. The wonderful mixture of scents ...

Review of Chanel No 19

Chanel No 19 is my usual perfume but now and again I fancy a change – but I have rarely found one I like quite as much. However, I recently went to replenish my stock and re – discovered Fidji which I have also written an opinion on, which in turn reminded me of another favourite of long ago called Expression. I did a search on the internet for it but it seems to have been discontinued but while searching I found out quite a bit about ...
...In order to write about Chanel 19 itself I must first attempt to explain the language and effects of perfume and the various perfume families. Obviously, if you already know about this stuff just skip this bit. ~ ~ ~ Perfume and the Senses ~ ~ ~ As the spirits of certain people hover over music. My soul, o my love! swims on your perfume.

Review of Chanel No 19

When you are wearing Chanel perfume, you feel like you are a million dollars. Yes, even if you are dressed head to toe in a Mark One tracksuit! I have tried Chanel 19 on and off over the years, mostly free samples from stores and other people’s bedrooms. It is a very strong, fruity perfume, which lasts all day and the bonus is that, the tone changes as the day goes on. As far as the packaging goes it is very simple and sleek in design and that ...
...sense it is timeless. Chanel is not the kind of perfume that you will make a favourite, but it is one that you will happily wear when you want to make that special change. Cost: Chanel No. 19 - Eau de Toilette 50ml £32.00 Chanel No. 19 - Perfume 7.5ml £45.00 ...

Review of Chanel No 19

Chanel Number Nineteen is simply the best. Like other reviewers, every now and again I am unfaithful and try a different perfume, but it never matches up. 19 can be used anytime, anywhere, like a magic veil and hypnotises with pleasure those around you. Yes it is expensive, but you are so wooooorth it! :0) Whenever I watch the seductive Nicole Kidman advertisement on tv, I think wonderful production, beautiful woman, but wrong perfume! It should have been No. 19! So any men out there reading this (unlikely I know), before you buy your amour a large bottle of 5, think again. ...

Review of Chanel No 19

I recieve a sample bottle of Channel No:19 from a friend of mines because she knew that I loved Channel No:5. And I was quite surprized with it scent it wasnt like any of the other channel perfumes, even though it still had the classic and sensual scent, but with a little kick of freshness thrown in. When I wore it I had compliments from both men and women asking what it was. Its not really a perfume that I heard people taking about, but in my opinion ...

Review of Chanel No 19

...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 chanel no19 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 ...

Review of Chanel No 19

...seeing many advertising campaigns about Chanel I decided to try a bottle. After using the testers in the shop I bought a small (but expensive) bottle of no. 19. I found this product to be incredibly sweet smelling and long lasting, however I may be hesitant to buy this perfume again because of the price. The strong scent may be a little overpowering for daytime use but it is ideal for special occasions and night wear. I would recommend this product ...

...feel confident. To me that is one of the important facts about wearing a perfume. Although I do use other Chanel products, I keep coming back to No 19 (maybe it makes me feel 19 again). If you like a floral fragrance, then try Chanel No 19. ...
