Napoleon's younger sister dared to challenge her big brother by marrying the attractive Captain Baciocchi against his will. But because of his strong affection for her, the emperor soon forgave her, and she was given the title of Grand Duchess of Tuscany at a young age.
There she restored an old princely villa famous for its park to its former glory: Élise enlarged the park and enriched it with new plants and exotic flowers, which she proudly showed to her guests from Paris and all over Europe. She led an eventful and glamorous life, often visiting Paris and staying there for long periods, as her radiant youth made her the star of the imperial court.
In 1809, Jean Rancé dedicated a perfume to her – naturally with her name. Today, Jeanne Sandra Rancé presents the fragrance ‘Élise’, which has been carefully adapted to modern tastes: fresh and young, romantic and sensual.
Cheerful and lively like Élise, tingling with sea notes and the scent of Sicilian mandarin, graceful and sensual, intensely feminine thanks to neroli oil and roses from Grasse. Bourbon vanilla and ambergris create a seductive, romantic and passionate atmosphere, while patchouli and musk add a touch of sensuality.
