Jean Rancé, son of François Rancé created and dedicated this perfume to the son of Napoleon in 1811. It was hoped that the young Prince could repeat the feats of his illustrious father. This spirit is reflected in the bold intensity of this fragrance while still embracing the favored Mediterranean tones. It is like walking in a forest through a gradually changing sequence of plants, flowers and wild herbs indigenous of the region.
Rancé has been making fine beauty soaps since 1795, and the family's closely guarded methods and formulas remain unchanged. Absolute & natural ingredients are chosen for their freshness and purity, and used according to strict traditional formulations. The soaps are hand made, triple milled, hand wrapped and presented in hand made boxes making them a truly unique and specialized gift for any occasion. Rancé soaps are appropriate for even the most delicate and sensitive skin types.
Elegant dark gray linen paper covered handmade box with gold and silver overlay. Each bar of soap is embossed with the Rance` Crest.
