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 occasional air freshener.
Then, one day, I tried it again and just went about my business. A few hours later, I was getting these gorgeous wafts of “something” sunny and fresh, but sweet and “balmy” at the same time. There was leather, but it was the sweet smell of leather and then, this airy, almost “waifish” creaminess.
Realized it was Bel Respiro. I sprayed the correct amount, I guess, and the result was just pure, beautiful. Sunny and warm, balmy and sweet. It’s impossible to tell how the two were so wonderful mixed, but they did it here. I just love it now. 🙂

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 sweet for me and was given away but I made that sample of Bel Respiro last forever and every time I wore it – sparingly – I would sniff my wrist for hours. It’s not a ‘flashy’ perfume, it’s subtle and green and light but with a complexity and depth to it that builds as it evolves on your skin. This isn’t something you’ll smell from across the room or for people who like to make an entrance, it’s subtle and clings to the wearer so that only people who get close to you will smell it, and they won’t pick up on it right away. So it’s not a scent for a loud personality.
It is light and airy, elegant, dry (all that iris), green, lightly floral, but with a definite earthy quality grounded by a hint of leather or tobacco. It’s both sunny and earthy with just a hint of soapy. I have to use a bit more of it than I do other perfumes but it does stick to my skin and lasts for hours.

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 elements of nature that add a bit of dirt to perfume, wear pungent leathers regularly nowadays and appreciate the complexity animalic notes add to Bel Respiro but if your skin amplifies these particular animalic notes like mine, you will smell like anything but a breath of fresh air:)
Hiding its civet, skank or whatever, Bel Respiro opens like an attractive watercolour of fragile flowers still on their stems. At this point It is sheer and actually more green than floral. I get a fresh, soursweet, herbal impression. To my unsuspecting nose, Bel Respiro is fresh and airy.
Then BANG! Just like in no.22 that hides a tumultuous dry leather under its pastel green impressions, Bel Respiro slaps me the face with a strong, dry animalic note and wakes me up from the innocent fairy tale I’m smelling. This is a very strange animalic note for me, both animalic and clean in an eerie way only Chanel could pull. I like the daring attitude that makes Bel Respiro something way more unforgettable than yet another ethereal fragrance, but on warmer days, this note truly stinks on me in its cold, dressy, almost prim way.
After the roar of the animal, Bel Respiro turns into a dense, relatively warmer, vintage chypre base with a bit of sourness and a bit of animalic.

oooooh, I was so looking forward to this. I love a nice green frag. Love my L’Eau Orange, my Cristalle, my Eau du Sud, thought I would love this too, but no.
The opening is a nice green. not citrussy, but vegetal. but there’s this woodiness in the dry down that I just don’t like. For fans of woods, this may be a go, but not for me. Too bad.

Notes: crushed leaves, rosemary, thyme, rose, lilac, hyacinth, green tea, aromatic grasses, myrrh and leather.
This fragrance opens with a delicate floral note that is tender and sweet like the scent of a well-tended garden on a spring morning. I see lilac and hyacinth mixed with vegetal green notes, the accord is light, elegant and luxuriously clean. As the notes bloom on my skin, the accord becomes warmer and woodsier, as if changing from a spring to early summer. The floral notes vanish to be replaced by green tea. This note is still green and radiant, but it also contains touches of wood and anise. From this moment on the scent does not change until its disappearance. Lasts four hours on my skin.

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 great name, as I realize I look like a fool by sniffing at my wrist over and over, deeper and deeper, wearing this scent. I adore No 19 and have it in the parfum form. I will own Bel Respiro in full bottle edp within the next few days. It’s gorgeous.

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 until it’s gone, but that will be the end. If I want something fresh, I’ll look elsewhere.

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 note that stays up until the dry down; or is it tobacco, or leather? It’s almost a masculine note.
Bel Respiro is like a summer breeze: it is airy and smells clean, with a lot of iris.
It is definitely a dry scent, it has almost no other flowers – a part iris- to me. But this can be very comforting and summer-like, and make the scent very easy to wear, for everyone.
The only big regret I have is the lasting power: no more than 20 minutes on my skin. As it is so pricey (like all the other in the exclusive line) I wish it lasted longer!!
(My fave in the line is Coromandel, that can’t be beat as per staying power!).
Definitely a must try.

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 oceanic breeze, sunshine, damp linens on the closeline. The hedges are being trimmed, the lilac tree is being pruned. That amazing fresh air quality, and is that carnations and geraniums in a pot?
I picture Coco Chanel’s magnificent estate that this was named for in the bloom of summer. Just lovely.
I also love 28 La Pausa from this collection but that is earth and the iris rhizomes being planted. Yes, I have ordered quantities of the rhizomes and they smell just like that.
These are the only two scents from the Les Exclusifs collection I like.
They are very unusual and truely works of art.
