In-Depth Summary:
Launched in 1961, Calèche was created by Guy Robert as Hermès's first fragrance for women and an elegant entry into the wider women's perfume market. Bergamot, mandarin, orange blossom and aldehydes brighten a heart of jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, gardenia, iris and ylang-ylang, while oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar and vetiver give the composition its poised chypre finish. The name evokes the horse-drawn carriages emblematic of Hermès and its silk métier.
