One of life’s undeniable truths is that if you want a great role that fits you like a glove, it is better to write it yourself. This idea would certainly have chimed with Alix Grès, the founder of the eponymous fashion house, who adored her work and the actresses she so glamorously dressed with a firm and masterful hand.
I used to be a role model for many women.
I wrote a part no one had played before in fashion.
I am still very contemporary, but I have a vintage touch, an indescribable chic that has been lost forever but remains as a fragrance.
A homage to Alix Grès
A woman both inspired and inspiring; the perfect role model. Madame Grès is above all the perfume of an iconic woman for generations past and present, who turn towards this bygone age imbued with modernity in search of unparalleled refinement.
Exquisite and assertive notes, fused with floral and fruity accents along with sandalwood and leather, lend it a beautifully vintage style that boasts a distinctive uniqueness.
Delightful citrus grapefruit and pineapple chords mingle with beguiling peppery cardamom in the head notes. An incredibly floral bouquet gives the heart of the scent its opulence and aesthetic appeal. A hint of sandalwood, fine vanilla, oriental patchouli and charismatic leather complete the scent, giving it an unmistakeable signature.

I wanted to be a sculptor - for me it is the same to work with fabric or stone.
Alix GrèsPrompted by the brand’s past, the distinctive Madame Grès fragrance pays tribute to the Grès couture house’s founder with a historical aesthetic. Both Ancient Greece and sculptures served as inspirations for the haute couture pieces created by Alix Grès, who is regarded as a forerunner of today’s minimalist movement.
Madame Grès always designed her dresses as if she were a sculptor, shaping the fabric directly on the models to form beautiful dresses inspired by classical Grecian draping and flowing lines.
