Rance 1795
Collection Impériale
From the start of the 1600's, the Rancé family in Grasse (France) had become famous for producing perfumed gloves for the aristocracy, and in 1795 François Rancé turned entirely to perfumery. His innovative spirit led him to create extremely refined and modern perfumes, which secured him the favour of Napoleon and Josephine.
In honour of Josephine Bonaparte he created "l'Impératrice" which was presented to the Empress in a precious Sevres porcelain box. The last example of this precious porcelain objet d'art is kept in the Rancé archives.
Several generations of Rancé have followed. At the end of 1800s Alexandre Rancé moved to Milan; his place at the head of the family firm is held today by his granddaughter Jeanne Sandra Rancé with her son Jean Maurice Alexandre Rancé.
Jeanne Sandra Rancé, therefore now the latest in a line of family perfumers, has revisited the family archives to recreate some of the fragrances made for the imperial family. The perfumes, the bottles and the labels are replicas of the 200 year old originals.
