About
Kelly Caleche Eau de Parfum by Hermès is a fragrance for women. Kelly Caleche Eau de Parfum was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Ellena. Kelly Caleche, the luxurious fragrance by the house of Hermes dedicated to famous Grace Kelly and the leather Kelly bag, as well as to the legendary evening perfume Caleche, was introduced last year. Kelly Caleche was developed by Jean-Claude Ellena from charming and gentle, bitterish rhapsodies of citruses and grapefruit which blend with floral notes full of nuances, with a characteristic powdery face of iris, gourmand yellow mimosa and rose. The perfect signature is added by a fine leather note. Last year's edition was dedicated to young women and ladies and the bottle was signed by designer Philippe Mouquet. After great success with last year's edition, a luxurious and very interesting edition for your purse was presented. It is shaped like a silver lock, available in limited number as 7,5 ml pure perfume extract, created of reconstructed aromas of the first perfume including jasmine, mimosa, tuberose and iris with benzoin and discrete accords of leather. The new edition, Hermes Kelly Caleche Eau de Parfum, arrives in a flacon shaped just like the EDT version, with a small, charming lock around the neck of the bottle, which symbolically connects all three editions. The new variant was developed by renowned perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, who retained a floral-leather composition. Kelly Caleche Eau de Parfum includes accords of Barenia calf leather, sheep leather, rose and violet, which are wrapped in an attractive vanilla veil. The new, luxurious edition is available from February 2009, in amounts of 50 and 100 ml EDP.

About
Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 by Chanel is a Leather fragrance for women. Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Ernest Beaux. Top notes are Clary Sage, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Lemon and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Iris, Ylang-Ylang, Carnation, Vetiver, Jasmine, Rose and Cedar; base notes are Leather, Birch, Tobacco, Musk, Amber, Heliotrope and Vanilla. Cuir de Russie, or Russian leather was a theme modern at the end of the 19th century. Many perfume houses were creating perfumes for women who smoked cigarettes. Today exclusive, Chanel\'s Cuir de Russie was created in 1924. The fragrance is provocative and shocking, and that exactly was its purpose, because it was created for a woman who dared to smoke cigarettes in public. It was a kind of encouragement and approval, because at that time a woman who smoked was a scandalous and inconceivable symbol of emancipation. The composition starts with aldehydes moderated by mild nectar of classical trio – rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The ending comes as smoky, animalistic note of dark leather. The main notes are: orange blossom, bergamot, mandarin, sage, iris, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, cedarwood, vetiver, styrax, leather, amber and vanilla.
