Mme. Alix Grès was born Germaine Emilie Krebs in 1903. She began designing under the name "Alix Barton" in the 1930s, then launched her design house under the name Grès in Paris in 1942. She was originally trained as a sculptor, and became famous for her flowing, draped haute couture designs. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she resisted the move into more profitable ready-to-wear lines, and the once famous house eventually went bankrupt in the 1980s. Grès passed away in 1993.

Her first perfume was Cabochard, launched in 1959. Later releases include Cabotine (1990), Folie Douce (1997) and Cabaret (2003).

The Grès fragrance license is held by Swiss company Art Fragrance.
