Grès My Dream Hommage a Marlene Dietrich is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Jean-Christophe Hérault and Sidonie Lancesseur. My Dream Hommage a Marlene Dietrich opens with Clove, Melon, Apple, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Grès's My Dream Hommage a Marlene Dietrich carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag. Some find it a dreamy, feminine floral, while others are utterly repulsed by its 'chemical fruit' opening and lack of soul. Definitely try before you buy, as it's clearly not for everyone.

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 For:
Spring Winter
Also Works:
Summer Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and generally soft projection make it suitable for casual wear and dates, where its feminine floral character can shine. It's a bit too sweet and overtly floral for formal events, and definitely not for sport.

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.

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

My Dream opens with a vibrant, almost juicy explosion of fruit- pineapple, apple, and blackcurrant lead the charge, spiced up with a hint of clove. This energetic start soon mellows into a lush, dewy bouquet of white flowers, with rose, violet, and lily creating a soft, romantic heart. The drydown settles into a comforting embrace of powdery iris, creamy vanilla, and warm sandalwood, grounded by a subtle musk.
