After a few moments, a charming bouquet of magnolia, peony and freesia comes to the fore. The opulent composition of this fragrance then evolves into its more sensual and mysterious form. The oriental accords of patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla, all in perfect harmony with a charismatic, leathery accent, will linger on your skin the longest.
Story of the fragrance
A women who accepts inspiration whilst also evoking it in others, a real example of a determined, self-assured, creative individual. That’s how you could describe Alix Grès, founder of the Grès fashion house. And it is precisely her personality and style that inspired the parfumier Sidonie Lancesseur to create the modern yet vintage fragrance Madame Grès back in 2013.
The Madame Grès Eau de Parfum combines the nostalgic beauty and minimalist chic style that was also typical of this designer’s fashion creations. Homage is also paid to her through the design of the box, where you’ll find a relief similar to the ruffled drapery and elegance of French haute couture.
