It was with much caution and respect that perfumers at Chanel approached their latest project, No.19 Poudré EDP 50ml, $159, a reinterpretation of the ‘70s classic. “It was very important for us not to make a fragrance to replace No.19,” explains Christopher Sheldrake, Chanel director of research & development. “The original was the last Gabrielle Chanel had a hand in, and it has a much stronger character – it’s greener and very elegant.” The iris was the inspiration behind the new incarnation. The result? “It’s powdery and slightly woody. It’s very sexy.”
