About
Caleche by Hermès is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. Caleche was launched in 1961. The nose behind this fragrance is Guy Robert. Top notes are Aldehydes, Cypress, Bergamot, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Lemon and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Iris, Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Jasmine, Gardenia and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Musk, Cedar, Amber and Tonka Bean. Calèche: composed by Guy Robert in 1961, this very feminine combination of flower,wood and chypre, whose name evokes the House’s emblematic carriage team, shines through the beauty of its primary ingredients, from the gaiety of its citrus hints to the modernity of its aldehyde notes, from its floral heart embroidered with ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine, to its woody chypre afternote, emphasized by the nobility of iris.
