Chanel Bel Respiro is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Polge. Bel Respiro opens with Green Notes and Grass, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, and dries down to a base of Leather. Chanel's Bel Respiro carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Bel Respiro is a love-it-or-hate-it green scent, deeply polarizing due to its strong, realistic grass and green opening. Some find it a masterpiece of natural freshness, others are left wondering about the cost versus impact. It's chic, but definitely not for everyone.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine a breath of spring air, a cool breeze sweeping across a meadow. Bel Respiro opens with a bold, almost startling burst of photorealistic green grass and fresh, dewy florals. As it settles, a clean, subtle leather accord emerges, grounding the composition without overpowering the airy greenness, like an elegant countryside stroll.
