Two new men are becoming faces of fragrances: Fendi wil... Go
Kelly Calèche’s name comes from two classic symbols of the Hermès tradition. Kelly, the saddle-maker’s legendary handbag, originally christened simply, ‘lady’s handbag’ and rechristened Kelly in homage to Princess Grace Kelly. And Calèche, Hermès’s second fragrance, created in 1961. From the imagination of house designer Jean Claude Ellena, Kelly Calèche is an airy leather scent, an ‘angel leather’ with the smell of flowers. A delicate fragrance for a modern Amazon.
A joyful and feminine fragrance inspired by a leather with a flowery scent, more like a suede than a Russian leather, an accord with burnt-wood notes. Climbing rose bestows the floral-leather sensation. Softened with green notes (lily-of-the-valley, narcissus, iris and more), the perfume possesses a gentle woodsy-chypre character that is surely a nod to Vetiver de Calèche (by Guy Robert, 1961). Designed by: Jean Claude Ellena.

The Calèche bottle’s elegant lines here reveal a pale-pink juice. The stopper has been replaced by a cap that opens by ‘sliding the metal clasp borrowed from the Kelly bag’.
