Chanel No 19 Poudre
by Chanel
Chanel No 19 Poudre is a refined, soft-green iris perfume that feels intimate and elegant, with a powdery, fresh-bitter opening that unfolds into a delicate, elegant base. It carries a subtle, clean scent reminiscent of high-quality talcum powder mixed with fresh green notes and a hint of earthy musk, evoking a sense of classic femininity and quiet sophistication. Many find it reminiscent of a vintage, well-kept wardrobe or a serene spring morning. The fragrance is best appreciated in warm weather or when worn on fabric, where it holds up well and projects subtly. While its longevity and sillage are modest, it transforms beautifully on the skin over time, offering a quiet, consistently pleasant presence that lingers in a personal, close-to-the-skin way.
