About This Perfume
Caleche Parfum by Hermès is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. Caleche Parfum was launched in 1961. The nose behind this fragrance is Guy Robert. Top notes are Aldehydes, Neroli, Bergamot, Lemon and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Orris, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Gardenia, Lily-of-the-Valley and Rose; base notes are Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Olibanum, Vetiver, Musk, Cypress, Amber, Cedar, Tonka Bean and Coumarin. The first fragrance for women by Hermes, Calèche, is composed by Guy Robert in 1961. It is a feminine aldehyde, woody, chypre floral, whose name refers to the horse-drawn carriages that are emblematic to the house. It contains cheerfulness of citrus fruit, modernity of aldehyde notes, the floral heart embellished with ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine and the woody, chypre sillage underscored with the nobility of irises. Pure perfume is the ultimate in perfume: the most intense vibration, a captivating personality, a lingering trail with lasting presence. It is available in bottles of 15 ml.
