Grès Sphinx Hommage a Greta Garbo is an Eau de Parfum, created by Marie Salamagne. Sphinx Hommage a Greta Garbo opens with Yuzu, Peach, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose, Peony, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Patchouli. Grès's Sphinx Hommage a Greta Garbo carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a clean, easy-going floral fruity that splits opinion. Some find it a graceful, modest charmer, while others dismiss it as uninspired, even cheap. It's a definite 'try before you buy' to see which camp you fall into.

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

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

Sphinx opens with a bright, slightly sweet burst of yuzu, peach, and litchi, instantly refreshing and inviting. The heart blooms with a delicate bouquet of rose, peony, and lotus, bringing a watery, clean floralcy. It settles into a soft, comforting base of Virginia cedarwood, musk, and a subtle hint of patchouli, providing a gentle warmth without ever losing its airy quality.
