    5 Stars A timeless classic Review with images 01/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Summery classic perfume

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive but larger bottles do have cheaper refill option

    The 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 of the 1970's needed something different - more suited to an active and independent lifestyle. She wanted to create a feminine perfume but much ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages love that whiff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive

    I have 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 of her colleagues believed that it would fail to become the success that was Chanel No 5. Gabrielle insisted that the 70's woman needed a ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages lovely floral powdery scent, lovely classic bottle, longevity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive

    I managed to save up enough Boots advantage card points to treat myself to a bottle of Chanel No.19 last month! I bought the 100ml bottle. It usually costs £92.00, but there was a 10% offer on all fragrances so I paid £82.80 (or spent 8280 advantage card points I should say - they took a long time to save up). The perfume is called No 19 after Coco Chanel's birthday (which was 19th August). The fragrance was first released in 1970, a year before she died at the age of 87. ~ Bottle ~ The bottle is not as pictured. It is a rectangular shape with a white square label on the front with "No 19 ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quite simply this perfume makes me feel good.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    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 perfume in general. I discovered that all the perfumes I have liked fall mainly in combinations of specific fragrance families, floral/chypre/green ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Chanel No 19 by chanelnumbernineteen 21/12/2007
    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 ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages longlasting scent, sense of luxury

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as unique as you expect

    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 is all it needs. Chanel 19 is a scent for all ages, and all occasions, in that sense it is timeless. Chanel is not the kind of perfume that you ... more

    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 it should be, I will definetly be purchasing it from now on. ... more

    4 Stars Chanel No 19 - perfect for a classy night out!! 27/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Flowery smell with a hint of love!

    Disadvantages 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 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 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Gorgeous smell

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very expensive

    I have always been a fan of many different perfumes, but after 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 if you have the money to buy it! ... more
