Just a guess.<br /><br />It's a marketing tactic, for sure, but I'll bet a successful oneCharlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-88866643397934242642011-08-24T08:54:06.702-04:002011-08-24T08:54:06.702-04:00Chanel No19 is what I wear every day, spraying on ...Chanel No19 is what I wear every day, spraying on an obnoxiously large amount and breathing in all the fumes! Must try this new one for fall. Is is a marketing tactic to tie a new scent to an old name? After all, if the ingredients differ then it is a completely different scent, not No19 at all.Mary Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174256499345575433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-54128386832170790492011-08-24T07:07:11.060-04:002011-08-24T07:07:11.060-04:00Hi Anonymous, I don't know Gucci Flora.

I am eager to test it: French critics in love with Chanel fragrances are very disappointed, Gaya is too (i've just read her review)..I couldn't find it this week-end, I'm hoping for today or to-morrow so I can have my own opinion!

The original version of No19 is more galbanumy & oakmossy than the present version for sure but it is still an elegant crisp green floral that was a model for some lovely green scents in the 70s. In parfum No19 is amazing- oak moss-o-rama. But the powdery aspect of iris makes No19 warmer & softer. I think it will be a lovely fall scent Daly Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878241299042124160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-45979389955604882882011-08-21T20:34:09.978-04:002011-08-21T20:34:09.978-04:00Hilarious, Charlestongirl, re: man magnet!!

I find that many fragrances that contain iris/orris are very evocative and the best maintain a coolness (as opposed to coldness) throughout. It's a lovely perfume, although not quite for me.
