Composition of the fragrance:
Submerge yourself in a symphony of ingredients that combine into an harmonious whole. First, you will be greeted by fresh galbanum, aromatic sage and aldehydes that give the fragrance a spark. At its heart, a womanly floral chord blossoms – enchanting jasmine, sweet rose and exotic ylang-ylang. The base notes consist of a deep, spicy character with notes of earthy patchouli, oak moss, chords of sensuous rose and warm sandalwood.

Story of the fragrance:
The Grès Cabochard fragrance was created by talented perfume designer Bernard Chant as an homage to Alix Grès, who drew inspiration from her travels to India. The fragrance reflects her experiences as she walked along sandy beaches and experienced natural fragrances that remained in her memory.

With reference to her personality and strength, Cabochard was created as chypre with a prominent leather component that radiates both strength and refinement. The bottle with a bow, which has become an iconic symbol of the fragrance, underscores the link between perfume and fashion and will always be a part of its design.

About the brand Grès

The brand Grès embodies elegance, femininity, and timelessness. Their famous fashion designs have become a synonym of haute couture and were favoured by stars from Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo to Jacqueline Kennedy.

The brand was founded by designer Germaine Émilie Krebs known as Madame Grès who worked in the world of fashion since the 1930s. In 1942, Madame Grès opened an eponymous fashion house whose name was an anagram of the first name of her husband, Russian painter called Serge Czerefkov.

The first Grès fragrance was introduced in 1958. The leather-based Grès Cabochard was inspired by Madame Grès’s recent travels to India and has remained an iconic and popular perfume until today. Other beloved fragrances include Grès Madame Grès with notes of pineapple, sandalwood, and patchouli, or the floral Grès Cabotine de Grès which contains the scent of tuberose, hyacinth, and carnation.
