This is a review for the soie de parfum Caleche. This scent is an oldie but goody and is definitely considered a classic, retro or vintage. It is by far my favorite aldehyde fragrance but I guess...

Caleche smells exactly like high end expensive soap with hints of florals, very clean-cut and classy. For a chypre it's rather friendly, the oakmoss doesn't smell too dark and mossy here. Good...

I've always loved Caleche. It's uber sexy vampy and daring. This is a chypre (similar but different to EL Knowing, Clinique Elixir and Lavin's Arpege). But it's more soapy and sandalwood comes...

This is how I would scent a blonde Scarlet Johansson. Chandler Burr calls Caleche 'austerely beautiful' and austerely beautiful she is. Only, you need to like aldehydes to enjoy her beauty. She...

Love Caleche so much! I had it first in my twenties, but it didn't suit me then - time was needed to grow into it. Caleche is utterly classical French perfume. Clean, aldehydic, incredibly classy,...

Caleche has the classic structure - floral, light sweep of citrus on top, classic sandalwood/oakmoss base, and aldehydes twanging up an down the structure. The vibe is is powdery, with dry and...

Upon immediate application this smells a bit aldehydic and vintage. It's very soapy, fresh-scrubbed, and classic. It smells like money. I imagine high-society ladies of the 1950s smelling like...

Starts off with a juicy citrus aldehydic burst, then softens to powdery floral with touches of rose, ylang ylang and iris. A musky, leathery, animalic note lingers in the background and grows more...

This review is for Calèche eau de toilette by Hermès, current formulation. I got just a moment of vague floral chypre before it all turned to eau de soap suds. Thereafter, sniffing became...

A classic that I forgot how much I liked until recently. I have the Soie version. It smells like expensive french soap, if you can imagine that. This fragrance is simply divine! I only wear it in...

This is nice ... in an old-fashioned way. I'm not overly wow'ed by it but it doesn't smell bad. It definitely stands out among today's scents. It has a sort of timeless quality, but not for me. ...

I really love this perfume, I love the smell, the bottle, the safety look, but the smell is a little mature, so I will not recommande this for a young lady, maybe when they are a little older,...

Caleche is, to me, very similar to No. 5 and VC & A First, all heavy on the aldehydes. It is an elegant, classic scent. I have a mini for my collection, but do not feel compelled to purchase a...

There's a leathery effect when first applied. It becomes a mildly soapy floral, mostly iris and gardenia. Well-blended and well-bred.

Galeche is one of the most weird frangrances I've ever smelled. Iam not very good in describing perfume notes, but this somehow reminds me of church. Insence like, strong and quite overpowering...

Caleche is my "work" fragrance- French elegance in a bottle, and a few spritzes last all day. It does have a "soapy" top note which I find pleasing. It's the scent equivalent of elegantly-tailored...

Caleche to me is softer version of Chanel No 5. I do think this is a beautiful skin scent however, all I smell is aldehydes from initial spray to the dry down. Although I wouldn't mind smelling...
