Caleche Eau de Toilette
3.976 reviews
Composed by perfumer Guy Robert in 1961, Caleche was Hermès' first fragrance for women. Its name echoes the carriages that are emblematic of the House: a light and elegant 19th century horse-drawn conveyance. A floral fragrance with aldehyde aromas, Caleche is a very feminine blend of delicate aldehydes, billowing jasmine and light rose.

An exceptionally well-blended aldehydic chypre of the outmost quality of raw-materials! Created in 1961 by Guy Robert, nephew of Henri Robert, the head perfumer at Chanel (1954-1978). Both Roberts are...

There is not much I can add to the excellent descriptions, most recently from EvaVic below, of Caleche Soie de Parfum - this is a true masterpiece which has held up through the years since its creatio...

Seeing these recent reviews for Caleche brings back such memories. In the mid 70's and perhaps into the early 80's, THIS was my signature scent - it was almost all I wore and I think I even had some ...

Edit: added a lippie; have been wearing this more because my husband likes it. . . And it's growing on me despite, well, see below. . . . ----- This is not my type of fragrance at all. It's an aldehyd...

Caleche smells exactly like high end expensive soap with hints of florals, very clean-cut and classy. For a chypre it's rather friendly, the oakmoss doesn't smell too dark and mossy here. Good sillage...

I've always loved Caleche. It's uber sexy vampy and daring. This is a chypre (similar but different to EL Knowing, Clinique Elixir and Lavin's Arpege). But it's more soapy and sandalwood comes th...

Love Caleche so much! I had it first in my twenties, but it didn't suit me then - time was needed to grow into it. Caleche is utterly classical French perfume. Clean, aldehydic, incredibly classy, tim...

This is how I would scent a blonde Scarlet Johansson. Chandler Burr calls Caleche 'austerely beautiful' and austerely beautiful she is. Only, you need to like aldehydes to enjoy her beauty. She is ve...
