What does Bel Respiro (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The scent reads green and aromatic as a whole. Green notes and aromatic notes make a cool backdrop, while leather adds a dry, leathery edge. Fresh, floral and green accords dominate, with spicy, woody and powdery touches staying in the background and softening it.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most named occasions. Feminine gets the most votes for character, though masculine has a real share too. Balenciaga L'Essence and Jo Malone Leather & Artemisia have a close profile.
