This is a very strong perfume, meaning it can be quite over powering. However, if only a little is used at a time, it smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! A little goes a long way. The packaging is simple yet cute. I love this.

Chanel No 19
Floral-woody-green, a white and green floral harmony. A unique blend of light-heartedness and sophistication. N 19 Eau de Parfum is not simply a different concentration, but an olfactory reinterpretation, which is faithful to the spirit and base notes of the original composition.

Reviews
I started wearing No. 19 about 25 years ago. I loved that it wasn't too sweet, it had a woodsey, freshly floral fragrance. I've flirted with other fragrances over the years but always come back to this. I bought my latest bottle at duty free which is usually the only time I invest in perfume. I bought the EDT and love the non-fussy bottle and the fact there are no lids to remove. Just a quick depress of the top of the bottle and you're good to go. Whenever I wear it I feel fresh and a little bit sophisticated ;)
The scent of No 19. is what I usually associate with the house of Chanel. I picture the wearer of this scent as a wealthy woman in a Chanel tweed blazer and pearls, wearing this to an opera.
No 19, is a sophisticated scent, which is both earthy and green. It has a very 'old-time' quality to it, much like Chanel No 5.
The oakmoss and the leather notes are strong in this. It is very much a night time scent, ideal for winter and certain occasions (classy, black tie events I imagine)
Tips: This has very good siliage and lasting power. The scent improves after you initially spray it on, so you really do have to wait till it develops before making a judgement on it.
One thing to be aware of: for some reason, I have found that people around me aren't fans of this scent. In fact, I have found some people distancing themselves from me whenever I have this scent on! (mostly males incidentally)
