Gres Perfume and Gres Cologne
The little girl known as Alix Barton— born Germaine Emilie Krebs—with dreams of being a sculptor or ballerina, entered the world of fashion as a hat-maker and then set her sights on couture. Madame Grès, as she was fondly known and admired, designed women’s clothes like art, sculpting fabric on the model’s body—her childhood dream unfolding—and dancing among the silks and chiffons of her evening dresses. In 1942, she adopted the name GRÈS, an anagram of her Russian husband’s name, Serge. Vogue's 1988 History of 20th Century Fashion named her "the greatest living couturier." Her first and famed perfume, Cabochard, launched in 1959. Others followed, like Cabaret, Cabotine, Caline, Folie Douce and Pastel.

Review of Ambre De Cabochard by Gres
Review of Ambre de Cabochard by April
This is the amber fragrance that I use the most in the fall/winter. It is warm and a little fruity, but not too much. It is mostly amber, rich, warm and seductive.
Review of Caline Night by Gres
Review of Caline Night by Ribbon Red
Lovely scent, the drydown is soft and feminine, not cheap and strong. You only need a little to last all day.
Review of Cabotine Aquarelle by Gres
Review of Cabotine Aquarelle by Ribbon Red
I was a bit hesitant to try this out since it's newer, but I am glad I did. This is a fresh, oceanic, daytime scent that is soft but lasts a while without being overwhelming. The packaging and bottle are just gorgeous. I think I've found my new signature scent : )
Review of Cabotine Rose by Gres
Review of Cabotine Rose by Ribbon Red
Cabotine Rose is a soft, feminine floral that is long-lasting and unique. When I think 'rose' I think of a fussy overdone scent but this is modern and fresh. The bottle and packaging are well worth the price.
