The fragrance's story and background 

Kelly Calèche pays tribute to two Hermès icons: the Kelly bag and the horse-drawn carriage, emblematic symbols of the House. Conceived by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena in 2007, this fragrance evokes the meeting of leather and flowers, describing itself as light as a feather. It is dedicated to women who embody a liberated elegance, harmoniously fusing masculine and feminine equestrian styles, all with a touch of insouciance.

Here is the olfactory description of Kelly Calèche by Hermès

Top note:

Kelly Calèche opens with a delicate freshness, with bright, sparkling citrus notes that evoke the lightness of a stroll by the water. Water lily adds an aquatic floral touch, recalling the softness of aquatic landscapes.

Heart note:

The heart of the fragrance is marked by an elegant bouquet of flowers. Rose offers classic, romantic femininity, while iris adds powdery softness and sophisticated character. Mimosa contributes to the overall luminosity, perhaps recalling the sun's rays on a horse's saddle.

Base note:

Kelly Calèche's base reveals a subtle sensuality. Leather, in particular, is an emblematic note that evokes the luxury of Hermès leather accessories. Vanilla brings a gourmand sweetness, while moss adds an earthy, woody touch, perhaps evoking a well-kept horse saddle.

Subtlety of the fragrance 

Kelly Calèche is a fragrance that embodies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of Hermès, combining the nobility of the materials and the savoir-faire of the fashion house with refined femininity and a touch of adventure. It evokes the idea of a horseback ride along the river, an experience both chic and spontaneous.
