About the Brand

Calèche was the first women's fragrance from Hermes. Its name refers to the light and elegant horse-drawn carriage of the 19th century, and the fragrance belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection, which draws on the heritage of the brand.

The history of Hermes began in Paris in 1837, when Thierry Hermès opened a workshop focused on the production of horse harnesses. Today it is an independent French family house built on a craft model and the transmission of expert know-how. The brand has committed to keeping the majority of its production in France.

Calèche connects the perfumery history of the house with its roots in carriage and equestrian craftsmanship.
