Eau de la Couronne pour Femme was created in 1824 by Jean Rancé. It is another masterpiece by Jean Rancé, which he dedicated to Paolina, Napoleon's favourite sister, who was most like the emperor in her strong character and passion.
Jean Rancé named this creation Couronne, meaning crown, because Paolina was undoubtedly worthy of the crown. Eau de Couronne is a fragrance for women like those Jean admired and loved. He composed accents of melon and iris to complement the notes of violet and freesia, adding jasmine from Grasse and seductive, regal Florentine iris to enhance the sensuality. Ambergris and musk underscore the fragrance, lending it intensity and harmony, as well as a lascivious touch.
