Sphinx Hommage à Greta Garbo is a delicate and fresh floral fragrance dedicated to the famous actress from 20s and 30s of 20th century. Greta Garbo was famous for her roles of determined and extraordinary women.
The essences of exotic blossoms blend with woody and fruity aromas. It opens with the delicate scents of litchi, peach and Yuzu (a precious citrus from Asia), capturing the senses. The exhilarating heart of lotus, rose and white peony unfolds, then leads to the base of cedar, musk and patchouli.
It is available as 60 ml EDP. The nose behind this fragrance is Marie Salamagne.

Boring? I don’t think harmony is boring. Didn’t you ever felt ”amused to death” by all those entertaining, sex appealing, original in a commercial way perfumes nowadays? This one is pure classic. I am happy to discover a quiet, elegant and comfortable perfume. Not suitable for a party of course, but for a working day, for an artist student or librarian. I have a feeling it helps me to clear my mind and to improve my efficiency and creativity :)))))).
It recalls in my imagination Greta Garbo, but also Maria Curie.
Compliments to lovely Nathalie, I received this beauty. It's light & beautiful. I can smell the a watery note, lotus perhaps that makes me want to take a deep breath in. It's only slightly sweet with a touch of peach, yuzu & litchi! I would dare to say this borders on an aquatic floral. I feel like I'm in a beautiful body of water with a water fall free falling and the most gorgeous, delicious smelling flowers all mingling together under the warm sunshine creating a magical swirl of wonder. Very easy to wear! It smells similar to many other perfumes yet there is something here that makes it special. Light & lovely. Definitely something to bring pretty compliments. Lasting power seems great so far!
Typical run-of-the-mill floral fruity. Sphinx is not bad or unpleasant, but so lacking in originality as it's so common a scent - springlike and feminine, still boring, boring, boring... Maybe I had too high hopes for this.
Generally, I am a bit disappointed with the whole Hommage a Greta Garbo series. This seems a disgrace to divine Greta. The best of them is Goddess (sweet and warm) and I must admit it stands to its name, then goes Sphinx and the worst is Mythos in terms of originality (even though it has a good staying power and is unobtrusive for the office use).
Sphinx and Mythos are such wonderful names and such a waste of possibilities.
