Is N°19 Eau de Toilette suitable for the office?+−
Yes, it is frequently cited as one of the best fragrances for professional settings. Its lack of sweetness and its clean, soapy iris and wood notes make it appear disciplined and polished rather than intrusive.
How does the EDT concentration compare to the EDP?+−
The Eau de Toilette is generally considered the brightest and "greenest" version. It emphasizes the sharp galbanum and hyacinth notes more than the Eau de Parfum, which is often described as creamier and more iris-forward.
Can this be worn as a unisex fragrance?+−
Absolutely. Many in the fragrance community consider N°19 to be functionally unisex. The heavy presence of oakmoss, leather, and cedarwood gives it a traditional tailor-shop quality that appeals to all genders.
Is this a good choice for someone who likes modern floral perfumes?+−
This may be a challenging "blind buy" for those used to modern, sweet florals. N°19 is prized for its bitterness and earthy mossiness, which is a departure from the sugary or fruity profiles found in many contemporary releases.
