Launched in 1961 by Hermès and crafted by perfumer Guy Robert, Caleche is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that embodies the essence of French elegance. This composition opens with aldehydes and citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, creating an initial freshness that's both bright and clean. As it evolves, white floral accords such as orange blossom and jasmine mingle with earthy woods like vetiver and sandalwood, grounding the scent in a lush, powdery base of iris and musk. Caleche is a proof of Hermès' commitment to creating enduring fragrances that blend sophistication with natural elements.
