Caleche Eau Delicate

This is wonderful. I sprayed it as I walked by a Hermes counter and within minutes I got 2 compliments. Its ethereal, soft, noticeable and utterly feminine. A new favourite!

Indeed it is delicate! Gentle floral-leather scent, so pleasant and ethereal! Alas, the staying power of Caleche eau delicate leans to zero on my skin.

07. May 2020 Today i was bored and going through my perfumes, stumbled upon this forgotten fragrance and decided to test it. Well, its delicate indeed, every note here is delicaye, nothing screams or stands out too much. Has it domething in common with classic Caleche? NO! It is a completly different fragrance and to me smells more close to Kelly Caleche and Jour. I am not sure if notes are correct or complete for this one, but i actually smell delicate leather note, like in Kelly and some weird vegetable note (celery it is), like in Jour but all of them are much softer. I dont smells much of aldehydes, almost none, no rose but more like a peony. Cedar - yes, jasmine - yes, but again not overpowering and all of them are quite soft. Its not outdated, not powdery, not soapy, just really airy and nice. Is it a nice fragrance? Yes! It has a good quality, but very low sillage and not s great lasting power ( at least on my skin). Would i pay a crazy amount of money, that they are asking for it? Absolutely not! It is just nice and delicate indeed, but im not wowed! The bottle, which has irredeceng glass is nice though. Probably will let go of it, cause i do not see myself reaching for it too often.

This is a very nice fragrance for the theater or dinner or church or anyplace your want to smell pretty and well-maintained without smelling—a lot. It’s just the thing to wear to visit your handsome dentist— it’s a charming, understated, and really quite pretty little breeze to ride on into a sterile-smelling environment. The ylang-ylang and jasmine are just enough to lift it out of the booze-and-leather golf-weekend vibe it threatens to get mired in right at first, but it’s tony enough to let them know you remember how to get to the country club. This background aldehyde-leather that is characteristic of the line, whispers “my-other-bag-is-a-birkin-but-i-don’t-carry-it-in-mixed-company”. I see it’s discontinued now, but you can still get Osmanthe Yunnan or any of several other quiet lovelies from Hermès, so wear, don’t despair.

This is a classic spring/summer scent of yesteryear, yet it still feels contemporary.At first whiff,I pick up soft white flowers,and Ivory soap!The cedar base softly trails behind with fresh green notes intermingling.This holds the scent together,so it does not become too transparent and float away.The dry-down is soft, powdery,clean, and feminine.Perfect for work,or a hot summer day, when you tire of citrus based fragrance. A close to the skin scent,lasting power,about 2 hours. Always appropriate,always pretty. :-)
