Madame Gres by Parfums Gres for Women

Madame Gres Perfume by Parfums Gres, Created by noted perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, Madame Gres is an oriental floral that blends spicy, floral, sweet, woody, balsamic and fresh accords.

The 2013 fragrance opens with top notes of refreshingly sharp grapefruit combined with pineapple and cardamom. The heart mingles sweet, lemony magnolia with white peony and freesia before resting solidly on base notes of sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and charismatic leather, which gives the perfume an undeniably sensual feel not unlike the signature draped gowns designed and worn by the label’s legendary founder. 

Madame Gres’ name came to signify elegance, thanks to the haute couture she crafted for luminaries such as Greta Garbo and Vivian Leigh. Debuting her fashion house in 1934, her perfume brand launched in 1958 with its debut scent Cabochard. With more than 50 fragrances to its credit, the label’s creations include perfumes designed by Nathalie Lorson, Emilie Bouge, Sophie Labbe and Thierry Wasser.
