Founded in 1942 by the charismatic and mysterious Madame Grès, the Grès fashion house was an uncompromising leader in haute couture for several decades.
In 1988 Vogue's History of 20th Century Fashion named her "the greatest living couturier."
Grès entered the perfume world in 1959 and Parfums Grès now has a rich heritage and genuine legitimacy in perfumery.
