I bought this back in 2012 and was so unhappy with it that I nearly gave it away. It smelled like lemons, leather, herbs and soil. It actually occurred to me for a short time to use it as an...

I have been obsessed with this perfume since a friend gave me little sample bottles of Bel Respiro and Cuir de Russie (another one from the Les Exclusifs line). Cuir de Russie is far too musky and...

Chanel’s Bel Respiro may be a breeze of fresh air from Coco Chanel’s weekend house; however, I have suspicions that sometimes a big fat civet comes and hides in her garden. I like organic...

I've had the same decant since this was released. I have decants of all its brothers and sisters as well, so somehow Bel Respiro was lost in the shuffle. Until recently. Wow. "Deep breath" is a...

I really like this, but it's a shame it doesn't last on me, or from reading other reviews, anyone else. The dry down is really lovely, it's overall so fresh and clean. I'll cherish my sample...

This is a very unusual scent: it's nothing like No. 19 or other green perfumes it has been compared to. It starts off green, herbal (tyhme + rosemary) and a little "smokey": there is this smoke...

Aahh, yeh... Finally the freshly cut grass, still fresh from the blade, scent I have been dreaming about. Do I smell a bit of vegitation from the blade of the weed whacker here? Also a very crisp...

Well, I did buy this product-- it was love at first sniff. At first spray, it reminds me of a bergamot-infused Vent Vert, or a less intense, greener Ivoire. It's not nearly as floral as Chanel...

Bel Respiro opens with an abundance of bright, effervescent green notes, but, unfortunately, the perfume does not maintain its promise as it never really develops on my skin - it is quite linear on...

This starts out quite lovely on my skin, a rich floral with woodsy notes. However, it dries down a bit masculine/musky IMO, so I won't be purchasing.

Nice crisp green opening, but the drydown smells like BO on me. Not good at all.

I guess this one must really be affected by skin chemistry because it is just wonderful on me. Green, soft and floral. And it lasts ages. If you like green florals (Balmain Ivoire, Jacomo...

Bel Respiro is a wonderful soft green floral. I was told the one of the main notres in the fragrance is fresh-cut grass. I get a hint of the grass note, but there is a soft floral note that comes...
