Hermès fragrances launched in 1951 with the release of Eau d'Hermès for men and women. Created by Edmond Roudnitska, this unisex fragrance has a warm leather and spicy citrus scent. It has since become the brand's signature fragrance and is still in production.

Following the release of the first perfume by Hermes, the fashion brand continued to grow in popularity. When Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco was photographed carrying a Hermes bag in 1956, it was renamed the "Kelly Bag" and brought further attention to the company. In 1961, Caleche, which is a Hermes perfume for her, was launched. It was such a success that it helped to establish the brand as a top contender in the world of perfume. Equipage, the first Hermès cologne for men, would follow in 1970.
