Grès Madame Gres is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Sidonie Lancesseur. Madame Gres opens with Grapefruit, Cardamom, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Magnolia, Peony, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Grès's Madame Gres carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive blend that promises French chic but delivers an opening that splits opinion. If you can ride out the initial sweetness, a sophisticated, patchouli-rich dry-down awaits.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated floral-woody-leather dry down makes it suitable for date nights and formal events, while its strong sillage limits its appropriateness for some office environments. The fruity opening offers enough versatility for casual wear, though its intensity might be too much for active sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Madame Gres opens with a vibrant, almost boozy burst of pineapple and grapefruit, spiked with a hint of warm cardamom. This lively start soon settles into a floral heart of magnolia, peony, and freesia, gracefully transitioning to a deep, sophisticated base. Here, rich leather and creamy sandalwood entwine with earthy patchouli and a touch of sweet vanilla, creating a warm, elegant, and persistent finish.
