N°19 Eau De Toilette

also 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 the new Edt 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. whereas the original from say, 1971, of course was already an exceptional perfume, known for its Greenness and the very deft handling of Iris. which lended it aboveall the legendary powderiness.
