Interesting…there’s a Wikipedia entry for Chanel No. 19 ~
here’s the text:
Chanel No. 19 perfume was first marketed in 1970. The number
19 was chosen to commemorate Coco Chanel’s birthday.
The scent was created by Heidi Morawetz and the Chanel
cosmetics laboratory.
No. 19 has a fresher, lighter, greener scent to it than
Chanel No. 5. It has a very slight
greenish tint visible when bottled to match its smell. ~~~~~
No 19 is a blend of the sharp and the creamy-soft. The piercing greenness of the top accord of
galbanum and hyacinth is every bit as stunning as the luscious, velvety floral
heart of sweet rose, mealy iris and buttery ylang-ylang. Out of the contrast of
the harsh and the soft, the green and the floral the harmony is born.
