RANCÉ Le Roi Empereur

RANCÉ 1795

Since the 17th Century the Rancé Maison, based in Grasse, was renowned for a unique mastery in crafting perfumed gloves. The ability to master the techniques of Gantiers-Parfumeurs, soon evolved into the art of distilling and blending essences. From this legacy, in 1795 Francois Rancé established his Parfumeur - Distillateur laboratory.

With his coronation as King of Italy on May 26th, 1805 in Milan, thus taking on the dual title of Emperor and King, Napoleon reached the peak of his glory. Only Charlemagne, one thousand years before him, had succeeded in bringing the whole of Europe under his rule.

This was the highest consecration of military and political genius, which led to the fulfilment of the ideas of Liberty and Reform of the French Revolution. The Whole of Europe acclaimed the hero, and François Rancé, his master perfumer and devoted admirer, created for him a fragrance which expressed his virile an fiery nature..
