Mathilde by Rancé 1795

Floral Green Fragrance for Men & Women

Mathilde by Rancé 1795 is a fragrance that captures the eclecticism, grace, and artistic spirit of Mathilde Letizia Guglielmina Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon I and a prominent figure in 19th-century Parisian art circles. This scent paints a vibrant and elegant portrait of a woman who was both a patron and creator, deeply connected to the artistic world around her.

The fragrance opens with the fresh and vibrant allure of narcissus, providing a floral brightness that is immediately captivating. This is balanced by the soft, juicy sweetness of exotic fruits, adding a lively and playful touch to the composition. The contrast between the floral and fruity notes reflects Mathilde's eclectic personality and her ability to balance elegance with a free-spirited nature.

At the heart of Mathilde, delicate touches of iris introduce a powdery sophistication that evokes the grace and refinement for which she was known. The iris blends beautifully with vanilla, which adds a creamy warmth and sweetness to the fragrance, softening the boldness of the narcissus and fruit, creating a harmonious balance between vitality and serenity.

The base notes provide a lasting impression of timeless elegance, grounding the fragrance in a warm, velvety finish that lingers with subtle depth. The interplay of these notes creates a scent that mirrors Mathilde's legacy as "Notre-Dame des Arts," a woman of both strength and gentleness, deeply connected to the art and culture of her time.
