Bought this once as I wanted to try something from a different shelf in The House of Fraser; a high end department store in Britain.
Kelly Caleche is where perfume junky started.
I love this perfume, would love to get some again.
Recently I also discovered Hermes fashion at the 80’s party.
Found some at my origines
Good time to try as it is on sale.
LA CRÉATION
Kelly Calèche creation is a nod to two emblematicHermès emblematic objects: the Kelly bag and the carriage, the company’s signature horse-drawn carriage. Kelly Calèche was created in 2007 by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. This \” parfum of leather and flowers, as light as an angel’s wing\”, is dedicated to women of free-spirited elegance, whose masculine and feminine equestrian style doesn’t take itself too seriously.
LES NOTES OLFACTIVES
Floral and leathery fragrance, Kelly Calèche Eau de Parfum combines the fleshy notes of rose with those of powdery mimosa, alongside the enveloping character of benzoin.
THE OBJECT
Designer Philippe Mouquet adorns the emblematic bottle, inspired by vintage car lanterns, with mischievous details: the metal plate and reel, key parts of the Kelly bag clasp.
THE HERMÈS RETAIL

Really dreamy
When I purchased it drove home down some old roads that I wondered if were ones highway men and rich ladies would ride down in carriages like in the film, The Wicked lady.
Think it will match this 18th Centuary antique choker and my fetish for all things pink.
Wonder if the Wicked Lady herself would be drawn to Kelly Caleche?
‘Inspired by the Kelly bag clasp’.
Kelly bag
When Robert Dumas, son-in-law of Émile Hermès, creates the ladies’ bag with straps in the 1930s, Hermès enters the era of boldness and modernism. Yet, its destiny does not end there. To make it a legend, a photograph is all it takes – one of Grace Kelly holding the bag over her stomach to conceal the signs of her pregnancy. The Kelly is born.
So Kelly Caleche is named after Grace Kelly
Another All time favourite film.
That comes up in May in the 50’s party
Will put this on on Sunday
Wow, pretty impressive discovery, I had no idea just liked the name, design and fragrance.
Really enjoying the Perfume Junky journey.
As I’m fairly average in my choices and ideas, I guess the majority of us women out there love discoveries like this.
I love these type of connections and hope Iconic products stay on the market.
Equally I like new products, but it takes that bit extra to make something stick and become Iconic and Classic.
Think I had good choice the day I opted for Kelly Caleche without realising.
You can see it now ~ who Kelly is.
This has made the perfume even better to me now.
I love her outfit ~ hopefully dresses like this will come back into the shops and we will get to do the Kelly Caleche fashion shop.
I guess I wouldn’t fit Grace Kelly clothes exactly, but the high street pre covid would of had something for my body type similar.
This is just so dreamy and romantic.
Conclusion
Look forward to getting a bottle of this again.
Will try and be ‘gracefull’ when I wear it.
Couldn’t source a Kelly Handbag.
The google search didn’t make sense to me and some of the prices were a bit expensive?
Just noticed Balmain in my subscriptions.
Wonder if this is Grace Kelly inspired?
Couldn’t find this handbag, but found the one below:
1945 Soft clutch in striped patent leather
Item price: £1,950.00
balmain/soft-clutch-in-striped-patent-leather
Gone on a detour ~ this is Balenciago inspired.
Getting this.
Will go with the Hollywood wives look.
If you love charms too, thought I’d blog the link for you as this is a bit different for Balmain.
It is a way for someone like me to do the current Marilyn trend also.
Or for someone who can do the Marilyn look.
Love it!!!
As I can’t find the padlock bag, I think you wait till it turns up somewhere.
Will add them both to this blog for you, or the one I’m writing when it turns up.
Will continue with the film fashion collections for you.
Hopefully will add Grace Kelly now.
Hope you enjoyed this perfume junky.
Enjoy your saturday
