The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bel Respiro Eau de Parfum, launched by Chanel in 2016 and crafted by Jacques Polge, is an outdoor perfume that captures the essence of an ideal spring day. The composition opens with a dewy freshness from green grass and crushed leaves, evoking the gentle breezes of the Garrigue scrubland in Southern France. This floral-green fragrance transitions into a sophisticated base of aromatic notes and subtle leather, creating a harmonious balance between nature’s vitality and urban sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the green top notes are bright but transient, while the aromatic base develops over time. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its freshness can be fully appreciated.

Jacques Polge

The architect of Chanel

Jacques Polge served as the in-house perfumer at Chanel for over three decades — from 1978 to 2013 — making him one of the most influential figures in modern perfumery.

“I consider that the time involved in the creation is nothing compared to the time the fragrance lives.”
