Which Chanel fragrance was named for Coco Chanel’s birth date, 19 August?

Chanel No. 19 was named for Coco Chanel’s birth date, 19 August.

The fragrance was launched in 1971, the year Chanel died. Its name refers to the nineteenth day of August, rather than to the year of its release or to a numbered fashion collection.

Chanel No. 19 was created by perfumer Henri Robert. It is known for a greener, sharper character than Chanel No. 5, with prominent iris and floral notes alongside citrus and woody elements.

The number is often confused with Chanel No. 5 because both are major Chanel fragrances. No. 5 was introduced decades earlier, while No. 19 directly references Chanel’s birthday.
