Guy Robert

Guy Robert is a French perfumer known for his work in classic fragrance composition during the mid-to-late 20th century. He is best recognized for creating Chanel No. 19, a legendary floral fragrance launched in 1970 that became one of Chanel's most iconic scents. The fragrance is celebrated for its fresh, green, and elegant character—a departure from heavier florals of the era.

Robert's approach to perfumery emphasized clarity and refinement, with a particular talent for composing crisp, luminous fragrances. Beyond Chanel No. 19, he worked with various prestigious fashion and fragrance houses, contributing to the golden age of haute couture perfumery. His work helped define the modern floral category and influenced fragrance design for generations.
