THE CREATION
Calèche was created in 1961 by perfumer Guy Robert and is Hermès' first women's fragrance. Its name refers to the elegant and light horse-drawn carriage of the 19th century, which is the emblem of Hermès: the caleache.
THE FRAGRANCE NOTES
With its floral aldehyde scent, the Calèche Eau de Toilette combines refined aldehyde notes with the fragrance waves of jasmine and light rose in a very feminine composition.
THE OBJECT
The bottle is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages of bygone eras, and the black cap is reminiscent of the shape of a riding helmet. The fragrance's membership in the Parfums-Fondateurs collection is indicated by the label on the back, which features a design by Philippe Dumas.

The little story
Calèche is an exceptionally feminine, floral-woody perfume with chypre notes, created by Guy Robert in 1961 as the first women's fragrance for Hermès. Its name refers to the horse-drawn chariot that serves as the emblem of the House of Hermès. Calèche captivates with the splendor of its fragrance: a cheerful citrus character, modern aldehyde notes, a floral heart with hints of ylang-ylang, rose, and jasmine, and a base of chypre and woody notes, beautifully enhanced by the exquisite scent of iris.
The Originals are dedicated to Hermès' first encounters with perfume. They tell the vibrant story of Hermès. Each perfume has its own little secrets and evokes associations… Timeless yet modern perfumes.
