Da moda à perfumaria, geralmente há apenas um passo. De fato, muitas são as grandes casas da Alta Costura que embarcaram na aventura olfativa para sublimar cada uma de suas criações com um adorno invisível. Além disso, foi o caso da casa Grès.
O fundador da casa Grès
A marca Grès foi fundada por Germaine Émilie Krebs, conhecida como Alix, em seguida, Alix Grès, e ficou famosa sob o nome Madame Grès. Esta grande costureira é acima de tudo uma artista. De fato, ela foi inicialmente seduzida pela dança e depois pela escultura antes de decidir se orientar na moda.
Além disso, essa reviravolta agradou mais a sua família, que considerou esse caminho mais "apropriado". Ela, portanto, começou neste setor em 1934 e abriu seu primeiro workshop, chamado Alix Couture, rue de Miromesnil, em Paris. Para fazer isso, ela juntou forças com Julie Barton. Juntos, eles fizeram uma primeira coleção de verão costurada com várias cortinas e pequenas costuras. Além disso, Madame Grès mostrou com esta coleção um espírito muito inovador. Usava tecidos novos e tinha acima de tudo uma vocação de vanguarda. Um ano depois, a marca foi renomeada Maison Alix e foi inteiramente adquirida pela Madame Grès, que decidiu velejar sozinha. Foi então em 1942 que Germaine Krebs decidiu revender sua marca para fundar sua própria casa na 1, rue de la Paix, em Paris. A marca Grès como a conhecemos hoje foi lançada!
O desenvolvimento da marca Grès
A primeira coleção da casa Grès foi um verdadeiro sucesso. De fato, Germaine Krebs decidiu transcender a técnica de drapear lá e isso agradou muito o público feminino da época. Apenas cinco anos depois, em 1947, a marca Grès decidiu continuar sua ascensão fazendo seu primeiro perfume. Desde aquele dia, esses dois universos coabitam sob a mesma entidade e se influenciam. Ambos são nutridos pela criatividade transbordante de Madame Grès e suas múltiplas viagens. Além disso, a Índia marcou particularmente a criadora da marca. Ela trouxe deste país muitas técnicas indianas de tecelagem, além de aromas raros e exóticos. Foi nesse contexto que Grès viu o aparecimento do perfume Cabochard, em 1959. Era diferente de qualquer outro e levou a marca Grès à vanguarda do cenário internacional no setor de perfumes.
Desde 1988, a grès pertence ao grupo japonês Yagi Tsusko. Os perfumes Grès, por outro lado, foram comprados pela Art & Fragrance em 2008. Além disso, Madame Grès morreu em 1993. No entanto, a marca continua sua linha criativa e assina regularmente novos sucos muito inspirados no minimalismo e elegância parisienses icônicos.

Understanding Perfumes: Types, Composition, and Families
What Are the Different Types of Perfumes?
In a perfume bottle, there isn't just the fragrant substance; the perfume is primarily composed of a carrier whose role is to dissolve the fragrant substances well. There is a finisher, usually a fixative, which helps strengthen the fragrance's tenacity. The fixative is often in the form of iris root powder.
There is an abundance of perfumes, fragrances here and there that fill the shelves of perfumeries worldwide. But what's most impressive is that each of these aromas is unique. So, it's natural to ask the following question:
What are the differences between these fragrances based on?
We can differentiate perfumes based on various criteria. Firstly, there is a difference based on the nature of the medium.
There are 3 types of perfume according to this criterion:
1. Alcoholic fragrances are the most common; the carrier is pure ethanol. It has the advantage of being very volatile, leaving only the scent on the skin.
2. Oily fragrances are particularly gentle on the skin.
3. Solid perfumes, commonly called "perfume concrete," where the perfume components are diluted in a "balm." These scents are applied in small quantities to selected areas.
Furthermore, a distinction can be made even in alcoholic perfumes, according to the content of fragrant compounds. In fact, in our perfumes, we see different names like "eau de parfum" or "eau de toilette." That's where the difference in quality lies, often related to the price difference between perfumes.
• There are sweet waters or colognes that contain less than 8% fragrant substance. Fixation is about 1 hour.
• Eau de Toilette has a concentration of 6 to 12%, for a fixation of about 3 hours.
• Eau de parfum is part of this concentration growth with between 10 and 20% fragrant substance, for a period of several hours.
• Finally, there are the perfumes themselves, which are composed of 15 to 40% fragrant material and ensure fixation for several days.
Perfume Composition: The Notes
When we talk about perfume, we often talk about notes: top, heart, base notes. They correspond to the composition in fragrant substances of the product:
• Top notes: these are the first notes, those you feel as soon as the product disperses in the air; fresh notes of citrus fruits or herbs;
• Heart notes: these are the ones that will smell for several hours, it's the character of the perfume; powerful notes of flowers, fruits;
• Base notes: these are the notes that will last for several days, that will remain; warm and powerful notes of wood, moss.
Fragrance Families
When we go to a perfumery, we are usually asked what kind of perfume we like: more floral, woody, amber, etc.
There are seven main fragrance families:
1. Citrus aromas: composed of fruit peels: orange, bergamot, citron;
2. Floral fragrances: composed mainly of flowers: jasmine, rose, violet;
3. Fern aromas: woody notes, lavender, oakmoss;
4. Chypre scents: accords of oakmoss, patchouli, bergamot;
5. Woody aromas: warm notes of sandalwood, patchouli, cedar;
6. Amber aromas: oriental, sweet, powdery fragrances with vanilla;
7. Leather perfumes: composed of dry notes of tobacco, smoke, burnt wood.
It is possible to distinguish perfumes based on the nature of the fragrant compound.
• Most often, it is in the form of essential oils, which are concentrates of volatile molecules from the plant. They are obtained by distillation.
• There are also many perfumes made from so-called "absolute" plant raw materials. Like essential oils, they are found in alcoholic, oily, and solid perfumes.
• The third type of fragrant compound relatively present in the perfume market corresponds to CO2 extracts, which allow obtaining an odor closer to the plant than its essential oil. CO2 extracts are 100% natural and very ecological.
It should be noted that, with the industrialization of perfume and the progress of chemistry, synthetic processes emerge that allow the production of artificial fragrant compounds. Synthetic smell is sometimes more faithful than that of natural raw material, as in the case of rose.
