Chanel N°19 Eau De Toilette (2023)

this version of No19 eau de toilette I found to be genius. having known Chanel No19 practically from its inception (1971) where I strutted in the perfumery in 1974 and thus the perfume (which was Edt or the Extrait which I both had in the 1970s) sits in my olphactive memory from off its origines to up til this iteration. I must say I am quite enamoured with it so much so, that I had spritzed Cristalle Edt & Eau Verte Edp on a card and next to these, Chanel No19 Edt 2023. at home there was one card that jumped forward. this perfume. in a couple of weeks I got the 100mL flacon and it is a delight. I find it very loyal to the original. there is a cleanliness which I find très Chanel. I have an older rendition of Chanel No19 Edp plus a Chanel No19 Poudrée. (both excellent.) but I find this concoction by far the best. perhaps only to show that there are a lot of variations in Taste of Smell (which I will call it). it is a veritable monument to No19, the Iris Pallida note is beyond refined. I never smell 'white musk' but here I seemed to smell it as a Hyper Clean Athmosphere. perhaps the Iris and Powdery notes contribute to this. the Galbanum set off a Crisp Green note which is in perfect synergy with the overall idea of this 'New No19'. I love it.
