Grès Mythos Hommage a Greta Garbo is an Eau de Parfum, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Mythos Hommage a Greta Garbo opens with Red Apple, Orange, Blackcurrant, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Rose, Peony, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Iris. Grès's Mythos Hommage a Greta Garbo carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a divisive, quirky scent that most agree is nothing like its namesake. It's either an intriguing, refreshing floral-fruity, or a cheap, shampoo-like mess. Expect a journey, not a destination.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Mythos opens with a curious, almost sour burst of blackcurrant and red apple, swiftly joined by a sparkling pineapple and orange that gives it a surprisingly fresh, green edge. As it settles, a clean, airy freesia and delicate rose emerge, tempered by a soft peony. The dry down is subtle, featuring a whisper of powdery iris and a creamy sandalwood, with just a hint of musk grounding the composition.
