Hermès Kelly Calèche Eau de Parfum takes the house’s leather craft and dresses it in light, silky florals. A tender bloom of rose and mimosa meets a refined leather impression that feels like the inside of a new Kelly bag, softened by iris and violet and gently sweetened by vanilla. The aura is elegant, powdery, and quietly sensual, luminous enough for daytime yet polished for evenings, creating a modern floral leather that feels effortless and unmistakably Hermès.

Story and Positioning
Created as a tribute to two icons of the house, the Kelly bag and the calèche carriage emblem, Kelly Calèche translates leather and flowers into a soft, luminous signature with a powdery iris accent. It follows the 2007 Eau de Toilette and the 2008 Extrait, offering a plusher, more enveloping interpretation while preserving the elegant leather rose theme that has become a favorite for lovers of refined floral leathers.
Bottle and Design
A slender, clear glass column with softened edges lets the delicate blush juice glow, while a polished metal collar adds quiet sheen at the neck. The cap recalls the Kelly bag’s padlock, a small sculptural touch that signals the house’s leather heritage without shouting. Minimal lettering keeps the front clean and refined, so the silhouette does the talking. In the hand, it feels balanced and smooth, the atomizer delivering a fine, even mist. On a dressing table, it reads immediately Hermès, elegant and assured, like a piece of pared-back leatherwork translated into crystal.
