Description
YES PLEASE! by 19-69 is a fresh, aromatic Eau de Parfum that captures the vibrant, experimental spirit of 1980s Manchester. It opens with a crisp and invigorating blend of lemon and juniper, brightened by a hint of cucumber and cardamom. As it settles, the fragrance evolves into a rich, herbaceous heart where thyme and rosemary mingle with a soft, powdery rose. The scent ultimately grounds itself in a dry, woody base of cypress, amyris, and cedar, leaving a refreshing yet earthy trail.

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.”
