Extrême Pureté
by Grès
Extrême Pureté by Grès is a light, transparent fragrance that opens with a bright, citrusy burst of bergamot and fig leaf, creating a crisp, effervescent profile. The scent evolves with subtle warmth as aromatic notes of cinnamon and tobacco unfold, lending a soft, slightly spiced depth without becoming heavy or sweet. The drydown is subtle and well-balanced, with a warm, clean finish driven by myrrh, cedar, and a restrained vanilla and tonka bean base. Despite its delicate nature, the fragrance is remarkably wearable and versatile, proving to be one of the most unisex and seasonally flexible offerings in the Les Signes collection. Many users describe it as quietly elegant, with an almost transparent layering of notes that shift seamlessly, maintaining freshness throughout its duration without dominating the senses.
