Hermes Caleche Soie de Parfum

Written in 1961 by Guy Robert, Caleche was Hermes’ first fragrance for women. A highly feminine, woody, chypre floral, its name refers to the horse-drawn carriages that are emblematic of the house. Caleche is a novel that dazzles with the beauty of its raw materials, from the joyfulness of citrus fruit to the modernity of aldehyde notes; from the floral heart embellished with ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine to the woody, chypre sillage underscored by the nobility of the iris.

The Founders bear witness to the initial encounters between the house of Hermes and fragrance. They tell the story of the living heritage of Hermes, its references and secrets… These fragrances are timeless, yet never less than contemporary.

Creation
Created by perfumer Guy Robert in 1961, Hermès’ first fragrance for women, Caleche, was reinterpreted in 1992 as Caleche soie de parfum, the name of which refers to the horse-drawn carriages that are emblematic of the House and its silk metier.
