Bel Respiro, from the Les Exclusifs de Chanel range, is marked as a floral green type of perfume, but has totally different personality when you compare it with the commercial floral green from Chanel (I’m thinking about the much praised or hated cold/business-woman-y No.19).
It starts really clean, as if entering a morning garden full with leaves and something along the line of freesia. Somewhat it has a similar feel that Diptyque perfumes normally possess.

After a while, Bel Respiro turns sweeter, less fresh in the dewy way, yet still fresh in a slightly sweeter and faintly jasmine-tinted way. Then the scent just dries down to a tamed, a bit watery and woodier version of the above.
Bel Respiro would be a low key version of say… Armani Code, Jean Paul Gaultier’s Classique or something like them, with heady sweet jasmine in it; and Bel Respiro does speak elegance. Worth trying if you find overly sweet-washed jasmine sometimes smells of try-hards and prefer something a bit more Chanel-y elegant. :P
