Caleche Eau Delicate

by Fabrice Pellegrin

Hermès Caleche Eau Delicate is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Caleche Eau Delicate opens with Aldehydes and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Sandalwood. Hermès's Caleche Eau Delicate carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly lovely, understated floral that sadly has fallen victim to the axe. If you can hunt down a bottle, you'll be rewarded with quiet elegance, though be warned some find it a bit too sharp.
