I have been waiting to tell you about this one since the day I went to the launch! If you are looking for a sexy and unusual fragrance to usher in the autumn, there is really no reason for you to look any further. Hermes Kelly Caleche smells like money. Well no, actually, it smells like leather and flowers, but it smells really expensive. Expensive and sexy.
The fragrance is a blend of fine leather and the impression of a huge field or bouquet of the most exquisite blossoms. Its creator Jean-Claude Ellena was given a very simple brief to guide him. Joyful. Feminine. And the name Kelly Caleche; two icons of Hermes – their first women’s fragrance and the bag they have become known for. But the new fragrance was not to be anything like the original.
The starting point was the smell of the leathers waiting to become legends and the realisation that the finer the leather was; the more he could smell flowers in it. From there he started working within a bottle labelled “cuir d’ange (angel leather)”. And like angel’s leather it is. And for those of us that will probably never acquire an infamous Kelly Bag, the bottle opens and closes with its very own version of the iconic clasp instead of a traditional cap.
Kelly Caleche is on counters now and will only come in two sizes of Eau du Parfum, Body Lotion, Shower Gel, and Deodorant. Prices for the scent are only £44.50 and £62.50 with body products from £26.50 - £32.50. Accessorise autumn with your very own slice of Hermes history.
Gorgeous.
