My Life Parfums Grès Paris, released in 2007, sits firmly in the category of a feminine fragrance, drawing from the chypre family. Perfumer Marie Salamagne left a distinct mark on this composition. The fragrance belongs to the drinks, wood, and floral groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of whiteflower and balsamic can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Created within the Hommage a Marlène Dietrich collection and available in eau de parfum.
It has a delicate sillage, staying close and personal. For skin application, 1-2 sprays is the sweet spot. A subtle fragrance: the longevity is low, which suits its gentle character. France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. My Life Parfums Grès Paris — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of My Life unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of Parfums Grès Paris is evident from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Balsamic, Drinks, Floral and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Wood. At family level the scent maps to Chypre.
Right at the start you sense airy floral opening notes: Orange blossom, Rum and Wisteria.
In the middle phase you notice Cedar, Heliotrope and Jasmine keeping a spicy-woody direction.
The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Alcoholic expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms Low points to a sustained drydown presence.
Taken together My Life reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
