Hermès Calèche

THE CREATION
Calèche was created in 1961 by perfumer Guy Robert and is the House's first fragrance for women. The perfume was reinterpreted in 1992. The result was Calèche Soie de Parfum, a fragrance composition named after the iconic team of horses and a reference to silk craftsmanship.

THE FRAGRANCE NOTES
The floral aldehyde fragrance Calèche Soie de Parfum combines sophisticated aldehyde notes with lush notes of jasmine and generous rose.

THE OBJECT
The bottle is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages of yesteryear and the black lid is reminiscent of the shape of a riding helmet. The fragrance's affiliation with the Parfums Fondateurs collection is recognisable by the label on the back, which features a motif by Philippe Dumas.

THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws its inspiration from the heritage of the House of Hermès. Each creation encapsulates the imaginative world of Hermès in a name, a fragrance, a colour. Over the years, Hermès has written a new chapter in its history with original, expressive fragrances, born from encounters with unique perfumers.

Calèche is an exceptionally feminine, floral-woody perfume with chypre notes that Guy Robert created in 1961 as the first Hermès women's fragrance. Its name refers to the team of horses that serves as the emblem of the House of Hermès. Calèche captivates with the splendour of its fragrances: cheerful citrus character, modern aldehyde notes, a floral heart note with hints of ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine, chypre and woody notes in the fragrance trail, which are wonderfully accentuated by the exquisite scent of iris.
