Kelly Caleche Eau de Parfum

I can't review this without comparing it to the original Kelly in EDT. Let's talk about perfume flankers first. They're almost always derivative, how could they not be? Some are just truly stronger versions of their predecessors, with maybe a few stronger notes or new notes for a boost. Some are worth getting if you like the original, some, if you like the original, aren't worth getting. Some have nothing to do at all with the original perfume, and one wonders why they decided to associate it with their progenitors. So they're tricky. I really like Kelly is EDT, and I think that this version, the EDP, is different enough, and interesting enough, and delivers on what the EDT was supposed to be in the first place, that if 1) you like the original, the EDP is worth sampling 2) you didn't like the original, the EDP is worth sampling:) The EDT to me is a green, woody, earthy, citrus leather. It almost has an austere, chilly, natural feel to it. The EDP, while it has an overlap (after Ellena has his signature on almost everything he does, no?) is allot different in terms of personality and dominant notes. So Kelly Eau de Parfum...Truly she's a plush, rich floral leather. She's sweeter and lusher than the original. The rose is the dominant note here, even stronger than the leather I think. Rose surrounded by violet, mimosa, and the leather. Kelly EDP is just freaking plush and sweetly floral and velvety soft. While I imagine a woman wearing the EDT in the great outdoors, riding horses, turning up fragrant earth, the woman who wears the EDP is inside, in a wood paneled room, already lotioned up and perfumed, hair curled, putting on a red gown, candles burning, fresh flowers cut, surrounded by pleasantly scented warm room air. I think that's the personality difference. The EDP just has a sweetness, a denseness, and a strong floral component that the EDT just doesn't have. Above all the EDP is NOT earthy. And in a way, while the leather notes buzz lightly around the flowers, the leather isn't a strong here. Anyway, I have bottles of both versions and I love them to death. And thanks to JCE's gentle, understated hand, I can wear them to work, around the general public, and not worry about anything being too strong or offensive. Yet these perfumes have tremendous staying power and aren't just "skin scents." And if someone does smell me, I guarantee I smell fabulous.

Kelly Calèche, you really are something else. I got a sample of this and it was love at first smell. I fall in love with perfumes quite easily, but this must have set the record because I went right to "Give me a bottle of this" in approximately two seconds. It's unlike other Hermès perfumes I know and love. Almost all of the Hermès perfumes I have and love are either very vegetal, green, herby or aquatic. This is something else. Kelly Calèche opens with a burst of floral which quickly turns into something very leathery and powdery. The leather and powder blend is very creamy and I'm actually very surprised I love it that much since it somewhat reminded me of YSL's Parisienne and I steer clear from Parisienne because it smells too synthetic to me. However, if Parisienne is like spilling perfume inside a cheap vinyl makeup bag, Kelly Calèche is more like spilling expensive perfume inside an equally expensive, very luxurious leather bag. Anyway, over time, Kelly Calèche loses its creamy, soft leathery-powdery scent and turns more floral; the cosmetics-perfume-leather-bag combination also grows stronger. A caveat, though: this combination is perfectly lovely in colder weather but in hotter climate this could easily become dizzying scent bomb. Thankfully though, this perfume does not have enormous sillage like Dior's Poison. Overall, this is a very lovely homage to both the bag and the original Calèche. This is a very yummy evening perfume and I fail to see how this would offend anyone if worn correctly. Kelly Calèche is elegant and mesmerising, just like Grace Kelly herself. Hermès did a very good job with this. Had I lived somewhere colder, this could very well boot Coco Mademoiselle or my Un Jardin perfumes out of my "favourites" list. PS: the bottle is insanely pretty too! Rating: 9/10

I gambled on this one because of the notes and the nose (Jean Claude Elena). I bought the EDT without smelling it first, and as I'm sure you know; if you are reading this, that was an expensive gamble. But boy did it pay off! I loved it so much that I bought the EDP as soon as it came out. With that said, both of them take you on an entirely different journey. The EDT is so much lighter, and brighter, while the EDP is very soft and deep. I find that the EDT's rose notes are at the top, with the violet lying just beneath. To me the leather smells like a new pair of gloves and isn't dominate after the first few minutes. It settles nicely into the floral notes with a light vanilla just underneath. For me the EDP has violet and leather notes at the top from the beginning, and they stay there for a long time. It does finally give way to the rose, but the vanilla is barely noticeable. With the understanding that one of the differences between EDP and EDT is that there is a lot more alcohol in the EDT...it really seems to make a very dramatic difference in this fragrance. More so then I have ever noticed in any other fragrance. To me they seem almost like two different scents. One is very bright, and light hearted (day time), and the other is very subdued, sexy and sophisticated (night time). If you are looking for a classy and elegant fragrance either one of these will make you happy!! I love, LOVE, love them both, and wouldn't be without either one of them.

PSA: Apparently the KC EDP isn't sold with the (just found out it works!) lock on the bottle. Mine has it and is from June 2017. If you have a bottle with the lock, take it off before you throw away the bottle! This has to be one of my favorite designer scents. I don't like a lot of Hermes' offerings, they don't work well with me. I ended up gifting Caleche to my step-mother and really liked it but it wasn't "me" so when I found Kelly Caleche, I was in love! The leather is very prominent but doesn't make it dark or heavy or masculine in any way. It's a very clean, new Birken bag leather. It works wonderfully with the florals in this. I don't get a lot of vanilla sweetness, but it is there. I feel like it's here to ground the fragrance. To give it a base to hold on to and smooth it out. It's nothing like the rose/vanilla combos that have been offered the last few years. This actually gives me the vibes that the production/promo photo shows. On my skin, there isn't a touch of powder. It really does work for every season and could go into the evening but isn't a "sultry" scent. It's a good signature fragrance! The rose isn't powdery or jammy, it's more of the rose found in Byredo's Young Rose. Also, at least for my version, the sillage and projection is amazing! Lasts on clothes until laundered, on skin I'd say a good 10 hours.

I was gifted a bottle of this, else I'd never have tried it since the EDT is one of those fragrances that I can't stand at all. I was shocked with how much I ended up liking it! I believe the lack of grapefruit notes is the reason for my love affair with the EDP. The EDP is 100% leather, with a powdery feeling, but also a bit sour due to the rose and thus easy to wear it even on a hot day like today. Like another reviewer, I do get strong chamomile notes for the first hour, which later dissipitate but don't disappear completely. For me this a perfect fragrance for everyday wear, especially if you're in the 30+ age group because it's elegant without being stuffy or pretentious but also very close to a skin scent, which makes it wearable in every social occasion, from the meeting room to the playground with the kids. Lasting power is above 12 hours for me (at that point it smells a bit like melted beeswax infused with flower petals, yum!), but sillage is not enormous, which I guess is something your co-workers will appreciate. The fact that it is unlike any other fragrance I own or have tested, as well as not widely used, make this a good candidate for a signature scent in my book. Did I say I was impressed?

This is my no. 1 favorite perfume in my collection. Looking at the notes, I can understand why. Basically, I love every single one of them and the blend is just amazing. Although I first tried this during a vacation in Paris in 2014 and could not get it out of my head, I only purchased it 4 years later. It was like I have been waiting for the right moment to receive this beauty in my life. This perfume is not following the very popular sickly sweet trend, but it is certainly anything else but generic. I picture a strong, but soft and feminine woman wearing it, not a teenager and definitely for ladies who 'got it all figured out'. It smells expensive, intense without being loud and I can describe it as everyday wearable, but only when you feel it is one of those special everydays:). I keep it for days when I have important meetings or events because it gives me a boost of confidence and delicacy at the same time. To me, it evokes some feeling of a moist leather combined with violets in the most classy, sexy manner. If this matches your skin, you cannot go wrong with it, however, I do not recommend a blind buy. I love it so much, that I am very carefully choosing the days when I go for it.

I tried it several times before buying, because of its price. It is absolutely wonderful!!! For the first minutes, it opens with a smell of red berries, sugar, even chocolate. It is the same kind of sweetness like in Elixir de Merveilles versus Eau de M. A sweetness of fruits in heavy syrup, but in Elixir the fruits are candied citrus peel. In the middle and base notes, the fruits are gone, and the perfume becomes soft lather and flowers, with a touch of vanilla, but the leather is special, it's actually suede. It's velvety and soft, like the softest creamiest chamois.It makes me think exactly of a piece of chamois used to blend pastels. The perfume is contiguous in my mind with the colors of the sky at down. Pinks, oranges, yellows over blue. Like the sky in early morning, the perfumes becomes brighter as times passes. On a less positive note, its projection is quiet and soft, not much noticed. Lasting power on my skin is not very good, but then none of the Hermes perfumes ( that I tried) last very well on me. I may have been too long winded here, but in summary the perfume is wonderful, classy, unique, romantic, soft and a great pleasure to own and wear.

Where to begin with Kelly? Well, perhaps by saying she's most definitely a free spirit, an independent, sexy, classy, driven woman who knows what goes and what doesn't for herself. Untamable spirit. The opening is a dance of Citruses and Leather notes: gently pungent, vibrant, uplifting. It takes a while before Iris makes its entrance, tip toeing forward as if to see who's around. Behind her, Tuberose in chit chat with Vanilla follow suit, two joyful women having a good time, all smiles and laughters about some private joke whispered to each other. One might think they are teasing Citruses and Leather's assumptions about who's the alfa in the room. They are carefree, curious of the surroundings but disinterested about engaging with them. They need not show much power in the group: their presence says it louder and yet softer, they can keep to themselves, armony maintained nonetheless. Rose? Sat somewhere in the room, removed from the others and uncaring of the happenings. You can just about spot her, then she's gone. Independence, assertiveness, elegance, grace, wisdom: Kelly evokes the kind of woman who possesses them all, and needs never show off.

I have just tried on my sample of this for the first time, and I may need a second wear. This is sophisticated, polished, a delicate combination of floral and a touch of restrained leather. I despise leather in fragrance, but this is so chic. Kelly, to me, is a young woman with some distant connections to the English aristocracy, but you'd really never know. She's old money and "quiet luxury". She drives a cream exterior vintage car with fine leather gloves and her hair is tied up in a silk scarf. She is playful, coy, elegant. Right now, she's on her way to the stables for a hack in the countryside with her warmblood. You can smell the greenery in the breeze as she drives on by. Kelly is charming, soft, unchanging, earnest. How could you not like her? The opening here is some bitter, but still juicy, citrus. Flowers are the next to follow. The leather comes on later, but it’s not a new car smell, it’s more like women’s leather gloves that are gently broken in. Update: Its been some months but I rewore my sample and it has this sour, yet powdery smarties quality to it now. Its not bad, but I don't love it as much as I did the first time I tried it.

Kelly Calèche, an individual born legend. It was a year ago when I first heard of Kelly and its reputation: Those who had encountered it, praised it and said that it possesses animalistic, alluring and noble qualities. After an ebay deal gone wrong, my first encounter with Kelly Calèche was - finally - in Athens. My dreams of smelling Ultrared, Narciso for her, L de Lolita Lempicka and others had already come true at a local store and my nose was getting tired, but there was one left to test: Kelly. Couldn't resist its magnetism. Closing my eyes and inhaling, there was suddenly a majestic and calm brown horse beside me. The perfume took me into another world in a heartbeat. I could almost hear the sound of bees and flies and smell the warm hay and sheep and sense the countryside's peace. I opened my eyes, the illusion escaped, and was brought back to the city of concrete jungle and honking horns. This perfume would make a great match for a young, distant, aristocratic miss. Since I'm a loyal friend of slightly eccentric, perverse and unusual leather scents, it's a pleasure to give Kelly a five-star rating.

This may be the most elegant perfume I've ever tried. It starts out very light, a nearly aquatic blend of violet and iris, and then the rose and leather slowly come in. The leather is truly buttery, and a gorgeous treatment of the note. I'm reminded of an young woman wearing a well-made leather jacket or pair of gloves. She's fashionable and lively, but also wise beyond her years. When I tested this today I accidentally wore it through my run (in the hot and humid weather outdoors--I figured it would have died out by then!), so I have a pretty good idea how it performs in hot versus cool weather. In the cool the leather and floral notes are in perfect balance, which comes across as a very relaxing scent to me. In the heat more of the leather comes out so the scent is darker and just a touch more animalic. I don't usually like that kind of accord, but in this it's subtle and very nice. This is going to the top of my want list, and as soon as I can get my hands on a bottle it may very well become a new signature for me. I just can't get enough!

Do you remember the smell of your mom's favourite purse? Leather, lipstick, cash, a perfume sample or two, and at least one piece of emergency candy. If you look back fondly on that gloriously feminine scent, you'll adore Kelly Calèche. This fragrance simultaneously evokes feelings of comfort and class. I'm glad I didn't read the notes list before trying this...I may never have sampled it out of an irrational fear of smelling like a sweaty old man smothered in flowers. The leather note is most prominent to me, but it's light and blends divinely with the florals to keep things fresh and feminine. I think of cashmere-lined driving gloves nestled next to a rose-scented Lancôme lipstick. Mmmm. I first wore Kelly Calèche during a girls' day out downtown in a new city, a day which ended in my getting my nose pierced. The piercing was something I'd been wanting for a million years but never thought I'd have the courage to actually do. This fragrance definitely helped give me a little push. Fond memories! :)

I just wanna say this is one of my favourite perfumes. Top 5 at the moment. So beautiful. Thanks to Ms Kelly Caleche I want more perfumes containing leather note. Absolutely signature worthy. Rihanna's Rogue has a similar dynamic, but the leather suede note in Rogue is sweeter. A beautiful dry down there too, but I can't seem to adjust with the lemon blossom opening, my skin makes it too screechy. So Ms. Kelly wins for me. Every note plays out gorgeously. ======================================================== For me Kelly Caleche is mostly about roses. It's the dominant note from the first spray until 2-3 hours later. Afterwards I can smell the soft leather note that's rather musky and animalic on me. Skin scent but quite sensual. This is my first bottle of Hermes and immediately becomes my favourite. Not many people wear it around me and it's just sooo classy. But effortless and girly pretty playful. Love it and I will definitely purchase a second bottle later. I want to buy 24 faubourg next.

I've worn this about 5 times so far, and now I think I've truly begun to understand this fragrance. My nose doesn't detect the leather as much in the top because I am sensitive to rose notes. The rose in this one is beautifully expressed, and blends nicely with the floral and leather accords. The drydown is soft and wispy, like the smell of a nearby passenger on a bus who is freshly showered and wearing a fine leather jacket. This, imo, is a cooler weather fragrance, because the balance of notes can so easily topple over. When I first smelled this, I sprayed it and walked through the mist on my way out the door....and i loved it. The 2nd time, I sprayed it directly on my shirt and the smell pestered me all day. The 3rd time,I sprayed it on my hand and loved it. Finally, i caught on, and now I just walk through a spray or two and usually wear on skin. I've heard that most Hermes fragrances are best on fabric but this smells best 'from a distance', and not directly under your nose.

I fell in love with Kelly Caleche in the EDT version but didn't get along well with the greener notes at the top. Well, those green notes are absent here. This version doesn't smack you over the head and drag you into her s&m dungeon the way the EDT does. Instead, you get more of a caress, but this is still severe, like the aloof caress of a reserved stepmother. Both the EDT and EDP have a certain elitist distance to them, but the EDP is definitely more old-world and aristocratic - she's a baroness walking back from her morning equestrian exercise, not a hair out of place in the French twist underneath her riding helmet. I see where people get the "barnyard" accord from, but to me this is a clean stable smell, more like fresh hay and polished saddles than unshoveled stables or sweaty horses. If done lightly, it's perfect for the office if you want to smell good but communicate distance and power - but please, for the love of God, not on a hot day!

Kelly Caleche is the woman I have always wanted to grow up and be, decisive, confident, aristocratic, used to finer things but also talented in her own right. The perfume is cold, aloof and windswept - at first. Later upon getting to know her, she is strong, alive and beautiful but the best part of all is that she just doesn't care. The leather note is consistent throughout but it is a gentle leather, softened by a natural sweetness, owing I suppose, to the rose, violet and vanilla but allow me to add that I also get a minty waft of something uttterly delicious as Kelly Caleche reaches its final evolutionary stage. It is by all means a real living perfume, not synthetic in the least and has an incredible lasting power. When worn it leaves me with the impression of someone who is comfortable, mysterious and powerful, the sublime heiress to a great kingdom...

Okay. I can say this without an apology. Hermes perfumes and I are a match made in heaven. I read a review about Kelly Caleche after buying all the 3 versions of Jour D’Hermes so I ordered a bottle without even trying it first. It arrived a couple of days ago and I can say that I love it and I will be wearing it anytime I am all glammed up. It’s everything I wanted it to be except I wish it projected more. I smell the leather strongly on my skin and I also get a lovely floral nuance. I can’t pick the rose or vanilla but it really doesn’t matter because the entire composition on me smells very rich and intoxicating. I am beginning to appreciate more refined perfumes now after wearing loud and bold fragrances for so long. Hermes knows how to make elegant scents and sometimes that’s all you need. Bravo Hermes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Another love from me from this brand.

Leather? What leather? I can barely detect it on my skin. There is a suede-lite accord as the scent dries down, but it's almost imperceptible. That aside, this is an extremely wearable and pleasant floral, most suitable for autumn and spring. The floral notes are very well blended and sweetened with a light touch of vanilla. The rose Ellena uses is recognisable here. At times Kelly Caleche EDP reminded me of Un Jardin sur le Toit, which is strange because the notes are very different. I would agree with many who have mentioned that there is some citrus in the top notes alongside the mimosa (thankfully at a lower dose than the EDT, which had a sourness that made it impossible to wear; see also Jour d'Hermes). This is hard to dislike, unless you can't stand powder in perfumes. I'd recommend it as something to buy as a part of a rotation of office scents.

I have only recently begun to enjoy the leather note. Kelly Caleche is the perfect introduction for a gal. It's nice new and expensive leather that never takes over from the other notes. Definitely just another note in the mix. It is very ladylike. Roses, mimosa, violets and iris are powdery floral heaven. There is something about it that makes me think of fragrant tea. I can totally see why Grace Kelly was the inspiration. I guess Grace is one of the old Hollywood greats but this does not smell in any way vintage. It seems timeless with its soft freshness and restraint. There is nothing heavy or screechy at all. You could go mad with application and I can't imagine anyone disliking the result. Yes, the sillage is less than average. Yep, this is what you want to wear when having afternoon tea in Claridges. Class in a bottle.

Kelly Caleche EDP might have no citrus notes listed but grapefruit/ bergamot is totally there in the top notes. For God’s sake it’s a Jean Claude Ellena creation! It opens glorious, bitter, fresh and zesty. KC then blooms to reveal one of the most elegant powdery floral concoctions to greet one’s nose. In the base unfolds the sophisticated, soft and supple leather- polished, and quietly assertive. Its blend of citrus, florals and an elegant leather foundation gives it a polished aura. I find it wearable across seasons and settings, with just enough personality to feel timeless yet modern. This is not the dark harsh animalic masculine leather for winter. This is a quality lady glove type of leather suitable for year round. It’s subtle yet graceful, it whispers but in confidence, it’s refined. A perfume worthy of Grace Kelly.

This is an ABSOLUTE FRESH DIVINE - elegant, feminine divine !!!! I have no words to describe properly or exactely how it develops, but it's unbelievable. It's really very strong at the beginning and it's IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT the divinity of this perfume , which develops in about one hour (or even more - depends how much you apply).If you'll be patient, you'll get final fantastic smell... as clean and fresh as eary morning, as uplifting as the greatest news... That's what I think about Kelly Caleche! Actually I'm not shure, what's the most important factor to make an excellent perfume: The nose behind it= the master who creates or/and the quallity of ingredients. I think both! Kelly Galleche has them, I'm shure. This is a real masterpiece. I love it so much, I'm crazy about it !

Delicate, feminine fragrance. Soft, spring rose - only petals or even rosebuds - on leather base. And delicate powder coming from the iris and violet in the background. What really amazes me is the prominent citrus note in the beginning. I checked the box then checked the bottle, both says eau de perfume. But citrus it there - fresh and tangy, perfectly combined with rose. Maybe my skin amplifies a note or a mixture of notes that gives this citrusy feel, I don't know. Anyway, I like it. I like the sparkling beginning, the delicate floral heart and the expensive, fine leather that is always there. Very exquisite fragrance - youthful, elegant and long lasting.

I was not sure how I felt about this fragrance at first and wasn't too comfortable buying a full bottle, but when the saleslady offered to fill my Hermes leather atomizers (in taupe :) ) I had to say yes. I am so happy I did! It's elegant and sophisticated but still young. Unlike Caleche, which is beautiful in its own way, but too mature for me. I also find its 1000x better than the EDT in my opinion. Both versions are sour, though the EDT smells a little bit like sour milk to me and the EDP is more of a fresh fruity sour. The leather and rose are paired beautifully in this fragrance. Red berries are there as well, but it's not sweet.

Today Kelly Calèche reminded me how much I used to love leather notes in the past, and how much I still do. And I didn't even need to wait the dry down to fall in love with it. The opening is a fresh and fragrant bouquet of flowers where rose is the queen. It's light, powdery and fresh. But pretty fast, leather sneaks in and Kelly Calèche reveals a strong, aromatic but warm and addictive character. Unlike some other reviews, I don't find this fragrance distant at all. There is warmth and tenderness hidden behind all the sophistication in this extremely feminine leather. And this duality is part of its charm. Class in a bottle.

The scent of the spring fairy. She arrives in ancient Europe - perhaps France or England - on a beautiful white horse, rides through the woods, leaving a trail of rosebuds, fresh grass and daffodils on her way. Even a fresh galbanum note is there - the forest awakens. Brings me into a nice mood of old times, though it's a really modern scent! One of my go-to-office fragrances (apart from Gabrielle, which is totally different, sunny elegance) The only complaint: in the cold of winter, green top notes stay too long and get a bit acidic on my skin. But when the temperature rises ... the spring fairy comes. She is very welcome.

This is amazing. This is a perfume I "flirt" with everytime I hit a depertment store, for the last 3 years. To me It quite simply smells like smooth roses, and earthy leather, with a sweet note that to me smells like cassis. It is quite powdery, but the sweeter and fruitier note that I detect (that is not written) balances it out. It is quite simply great. It's demure while somehow still manging to be sexy. It's simple and fresh yet sophisticated and rich. To me, this is a one classy perfume. If I would have to choose 3 words to sum this frgrance up, they would be: Rich; Classic; Playful

It seems that this fragrance is experienced very differently by different people. Therefore, I will only add that for me it is a unique perfume that stands out in the most beautiful and elegant way. An absolute masterpiece with extremely well interwolven noten. As of a comparison between this (edp) and the edt, I much more prefer the edp. I first got aquainted via sample with the edt and liked it very much. However, I recently received the edp as a gift and was amazed how much better it was. The edp is very delicate and the edt is sharp. Love, love, love!

Kelly Caleche EDP is a transparent herbal rose tea fragrance in the style of some of the jardin collection. Some unique nuances but not as challenging nor opaque as I thought it would be. Still a very nice, light, fresh everyday Spring/Summer fragrance. It is 70F, low humidity today. Perhaps this will morph in warmer temps as I'm currently not sensing leather. EDIT: Wore this in 97F. Gorgeous! Strong character. Leather comes through but remains fresh. Lasted greater than 12 hours. My summer top shelf (along with Bottega Veneta Illusione).

OK I have a problem here. This is my favourite one, so so so different like nothing else. Dominating. Absolute. Feminine. Strong. Confident. Classy. The one, the loyal one. And then there is the other, the lover, the temptation, the sin... the honey-powder. I'm talking about Chloe... Every time the same dillemma... Like Kelly being my husband who I do love and Chloe a tempting lover. I want them both. Badly.... But I have to choose. There should be only one that accompanies me evreywhere...

I've not tried the toilette, so I can't speak for that. Kelly Caleche EDP is a sweet yellow floral - the mimosa is prominent from beginning to end. I don't get much of the other notes, nor any of the leather at all. Not my favourite - the mimosa is a little too sweet for me. It's a fine, classy perfume, but something about the sweetness of the mimosa is giving me slightly girly vibes. Projection - soft (< arms length) Longevity - average, maybe 5 + hours Polarity - feminine

This is the only Hermes I've tried and/or purchased. After spraying this Eau d parfum version I wondered what was there, but within minutes I smelt the rose and fresh green notes. I was weary to buy a perfume that had a leather note, but I can't detect it, its ever so subtle. After a while, what settled on my skin was an expensive smelling fresh rose, delicate floral. Long lasting. Oh I'm so glad I took the plunge with the leather note. It's beautiful.

I simply adore this attempt from Hermes as a tribute to the timeless perfection of the late Princess of Monaco. It seems I tend to pick up the Leather note rather quickly and I LIKE that! It's an "ice-queen" type of classy fragrance that you can't imagine just anyone wearing. It reminds me a bit of Todd Oldham (from the mid 90's)...another scent with what smells like that sharp (at first) leather note. It's got MY vote...2 thumbs up!

This is a truly elegant perfume. It is well blended, distinctive and long wearing. I have a big bottle of the edp but I'm ashamed to say I don't reach for it often. I love rose and leather notes but somehow I don't find this easy to wear for every day. I reserve it for special occasions, particularly professional ones (meetings, conferences etc.) when I want to feel smart, sophisticated and authoritative.

I adore this scent. You will enjoy it as well if you are not looking for bold leather or a very extravagant creation. This is a leathery floral with a powdery finish. It’s elegant (I can’t imagine it being offensive to anyone’s nose) and distinguishable- I can’t think of another designer fragrance that resembles it. So if you are looking for soft, powdery leather with a touch of rose that’s exactly it.

What a beautiful scent! Upon the first spray you can definitely smell the leather/suede which is a bit overwhelming at first, then a nice floral dry down afterwards. Sillage is good...I felt like the scent radiated at least a foot from my body. Longevity is excellent at 8 hours. Very classy, feminine, lovely scent! This is a great addition to anyone's wardrobe.

Thank you Adiro (my Hermes fairy) for giving me a decant of it. I love it! Imagine receiving a Hermes leather purse, very classy and beautiful, and when you open it there are many rose petals inside... I wouldn't decline a present like this. Will definitely purchase full bottle of this fragrance (unfortunately their purses are too expensive for me :) )

This fragrance is very special and unusual. Smells expensively sweet and delicious in my body chemistry. This is rose scent (which I love so much) blended with unique leathery and animalic scent with a little powdery in there, I felt it very light but with strong personality. One of my favorite for day time party. Good Silage and long lasting too

This bee stings, mamacitas Its just really my type of girl and she ́s adorably amazing if your just about to enter the "niche" world for the first time. If you ́v been in the bizniz for a while, thats ok, Kelly will embrace you like a strong, strict (well behaved, but Don ́t you question her) and chic stephmother. ps.good sillage & longlasting.ds

What a delightful scent this is. Intense and transparent, passionate and algid at the same time. I do not know in any other fragrance that resembles it. Leather and smoky notes, posh and dry, softened by the most delicious rose. I use it for work and for all occasions when I want to give an impression of refined and detached elegance.

The best perfume of all! Trust me! I ́ve already had the EDT version (that made me feel special when I received great compliments) and I ́m jumping for joy now that I finaly got the EDP version. I think that I rule the world with this fragrance. I love Kelly Calèche to death!

Who let the horses out...??? Unfortunately the note of horses is so, so strong that I cannot wear it . Definitely I prefer the leather-version EDT. Edit: I tested this scent the second time end of May, and ...I must admit that more and more pleases to me . :))

Where was this perfume? It took me 10 years to discover it!!! Amazing. It reminds me of GUCCI II Perfume that is becoming hard to find nowadays. Second bottle November 2020 Third bottle April 2021 (I gifted it) Fourth bottle June 2022 Fifth bottle Jan 2025

I've just got Kelly ! It's such a beautiful combination, that I can't stop smelling it ! It's unique,outstanding and special! And the bottle is very elegant ! I love it ! Kelly Caleche is gonna be my new signature scent! Sorry Pure Poison ;)

A piece of art indeed! in summers, all I need and can tolerate is freshness in perfumes. This one has nothing to do with "freshness", But I surprisingly can wear it in these warm days. The class has done its job perfectly!

Yes, now that's been mentioned, Kelly Caleche EDP does seem to be a female version of Washington Square by Bond No9, which is nostalgic 70's masculineall the way.

Sexy, sophisticated, chic and classy. The leather and the rose are gorgeous together. Somehow I feel it spicy...like pepperish. Absolutly a must have fragrance!

Should be a beautiful scent on a woman; clean, fresh, lilly floral. I don't really get the leather, though. What I do sense, is a realy nice tea....

I love this, it is a powerhouse. I got it for the leather note, which i sort of smell... but overall it is just beautiful. Very classy.

My favorite fragrance of all time. So delicate, tender, warm, and different. I could never give it up. P.S. Sorry, Allure.

Absolutely sexy and very dominant rose & leather scent. Definitely a headturner. I need a bottle of this in my life.
