Pros & Cons
- ✅ Amazing, like you crushed hyacinths and freshly cut grass in your hands and smell the juice of it.
- ✅ Aloof, chic, formal, and Professional.
- ✅ I am obsessed with how this smells on my skin. It becomes so earthy, it downright starts smelling like incense.
- ✅ Long-lasting unique sophisticated feminine
- ✅ When wearing N°19 I feel elegant, regal almost... I walk a little more upright.
- ✅ It's the anti-trend — cool where everything else is warm, dry where everything else is sweet, intellectual where everything else is obvious.
- ✅ No.19 gives me hope. There is a chance of renewal after the bleakness of winter.
- ❌ really disappointing. this is a very dated piece.
- ❌ Old lady perfume 😭 That is literally all I get and I can't get past it.
- ❌ I have tried this scent a number of times, and it's just not for me.
- ❌ Sharp green opening tests patience
- ❌ Sillage stays close to skin at parfum strength
- ❌ Reformulation is the elephant in the room. Vintage fans mourn the loss of oakmoss depth
- ❌ Performance can also disappoint — expect moderate sillage that stays close after the first hour.
