Founded in 1942 by the charismatic and mysterious Madame Grès, the Grès fashion house was an uncompromising leader in haute couture for several decades. Grès entered the perfume world in 1959 and Parfums Grès now has a rich heritage and genuine legitimacy in perfumery. In fact, few brands can lay claim to a fragrance like Cabochard that is almost 60 years old, or one like Cabotine that remains the gold standard 25 years after its launch.
