Its name echoes the House's emblematic carriage: the elegant, light horse-drawn carriage of the 19th century. OLFACTORY NOTES A floral, aldehydic fragrance, Calèche combines the finesse of aldehydes, the undulation of jasmine and the lightness of rose with great femininity. THE OBJECT Inspired by the lanterns of the carriages of yesteryear, the bottle is topped with a black bonnet echoing the bombshell of the horsemen. The label on the back is illustrated with a drawing by Philippe Dumas, a sign that it belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection. THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws its inspiration from the House's heritage. Each creation encapsulates the Hermès imagination in a name, a fragrance and a colour. Over the years, Hermès has written the pages of a daring perfumery, born of encounters with exceptional perfumer.
