Description
The 19-69 Pocket Size 3 References is a curated discovery set, offering a glimpse into the brand's distinctive olfactive storytelling. This particular collection features three 2.5ml vials: Chronic, Miami Blue, and Invisible Post. Chronic presents an earthy, green, and subtly smoky profile with a prominent cannabis accord, while Miami Blue delivers a fresh, aquatic, and zesty citrus experience. Invisible Post rounds out the trio with a vibrant aromatic fruitiness, highlighting green fig and black currant over a woody base. Each scent in the set is designed to transport the wearer to a different era or cultural setting, reflecting 19-69's unique approach to fragrance. As this is a collection, specific top, middle, and base notes apply to each individual fragrance within the set, rather than the collection as a whole.

About 19-69
Cosmetic cult brand 19-69 was founded by the Swedish artist and product developer Johan Bergelin.
A twenty-four month long creative process with artisans in Scandinavia, France and Italy lead to the launch of 5 perfumes in 2017.

Johan Bergelin
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.”
