Kelly Calèche

Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent from Molton Brown, Valbonne tantalises with a unique floral-leather opening that quickly fades into a lacklustre dry-down. For those who appreciate its early charm, the fleeting performance is a real shame.
A truly divisive masterpiece from JCE, Kelly Calèche is either a soft, sophisticated leather-floral dream or a headache-inducing mess. It's chic, classy, and unequivocally Hermès, but skin chemistry plays a huge part here.
