Rance Francois Charles

 François Rancé, the founder of the Maison RANCÉ, taught his sons and grandsons the art of creating awe-inspiring perfumes and passed on his passion for Napoleon, the sublime Hero who personified French glory. François' son Jean Rancé devoted this perfume to FRANÇOIS CHARLES, Napoleon's only son. It was hoped that the young Prince could repeat his majestic father's feats, and like him, bring the great ideals France's victories had introduced throughout Europe to triumph.

This perfume lives again today, and we can admire its sobriety and immediacy, the intensity of its fragrance, and its continuous variation in notes. It is like walking in a forest through a gradually changing sequence of plants, flowers and wild herbs, and smelling their different successive scents. It is a very manly perfume which goes straight to the hearts of nature lovers.
