Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Sphinx is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Parfums Grès Paris is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

In the top tier you sense sweet-fresh fruity first notes: Lychee, Peach and Yuzu.

In the central layer you detect Lotus, Peony and Rose holding a harmonious floral direction.

The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.

At the note-group layer the structure relies on Fruit, Citrus, Floral and Wood. The palette also extends to Musk and Whiteflower.

Overall Sphinx sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
