Legendary couturier Mademoiselle Coco Chanel had an innate talent for capturing the essence of time with her fragrances. In the 1920s she was the pioneer of four enchanting scents that were iconic in the perfume world. Also during the 20s, Coco bought her first home in the picturesque Paris suburbs of Garches. Bel Respiro was a rustic haven with beige roughcast walls and black lacquered shutters. Coco often roamed the garden in wide trousers made of white canvas and drew inspiration from her classic dwelling and its beautiful surroundings.
Recently, the ingenious Jacques Polge has created Bel Respiro, one in an exclusive collection of ten rare fragrances for Chanel, each one communicating its own unique story, yet collectively capturing the magic and the universal language of Chanel. Here is a fragrance which carries the scent of a crisp spring breeze, full of freshness and vitality with dew, sun-kissed grass, crushed leaves and a hint of zesty aromas associated with the French 'garrigue', aromatic, soft leaved shrubs and new leather. This is a scent of a woman that no man will be able to resist!
