Description
Chronic by 19-69 is a vibrant and green fragrance that pays homage to the cannabis cultivation scene in Southern California during the 1990s. It opens with a lively burst of bitter grapefruit and clary sage, creating an immediate fresh and herbal impression. As it develops, a subtle cannabis accord emerges, beautifully blended with Virginian cedar and warm amber, giving it a leafy and earthy character. The dry down settles into a comforting base of moss, patchouli, vetiver, musk, and cashmere wood, offering a surprisingly wearable and sophisticated take on its inspiration.

Johan Bergelin: “I have always surrounded myself with creative people, personal friends as well as professional. What has always inspired me is how these artists very often stand up for their values. They want to make a difference. This can be made in endless ways: a mural painting, a sculpture, photos or music lyrics. You may or may not personally agree, but it takes guts to stand up for your beliefs and who you are, and I do respect that. I think this is what planted a seed in me and was the beginning of 19-69.”

Cons
Specific limitation: Some reviewers have noted that the longevity can be poor, lasting only 2-3 hours on the skin.
Scent expectation: A common point of feedback is that it doesn't project a distinct cannabis note and doesn't smell exactly like cannabis, which might disappoint those expecting a more literal interpretation.
Comparisons
Similar to Escentric 05: The combination of cashmere wood, base notes, and citrus in Chronic has led some to draw comparisons to Escentric 05.
Reminds reviewers of fresh-cut weed: While not a direct cannabis smell, some find it reminiscent of a bag of fresh-cut weed, without being overtly skunky.
