The opening of Élise summons a Tuscan sea breeze, mingling with a smile of citrus. Neroli and rose intertwine with crisp eucalyptus, the perfect balance between floral and green. Marine notes gradually surrender to the warm base of musk, patchouli and amber.

All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Élise suits an unhurried afternoon near the coast, with open windows and conversation at close quarters. Its citrus and marine opening feels light and alert; rose threaded with eucalyptus adds a green edge, while the warm base lends softness as the pace slows.
How to wear
A natural choice for spring and mild summer weather, when its citrus, marine and green-floral facets can feel especially inviting. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, keeping application light in heat. Allow the opening to settle before adding more: the musk, amber and vanilla bring a warmer finish.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy marine freshness but want floral texture and a warm base rather than a purely aquatic fragrance. The rose–eucalyptus pairing will appeal to tastes that favour green-edged florals, with citrus brightness and a softer amber-vanilla finish.

The nose
Chris Carbonnel, also known as Christian Carbonnel, is a Spanish perfumer associated with the family fragrance company Carbonnel. His work spans niche perfumery and includes Xerjoff’s Erba Pura, reflecting a facility with expressive fruit, floral and amber compositions. Rancé credits him with creating Élise in collaboration with the house.
Rance 1795’s story
Rancé 1795 places family continuity and preserved perfume traditions at the centre of its identity, linking its Grasse origins with its later Italian chapter. Historical storytelling, art and memory inform its fragrances, while traditional craftsmanship sits alongside contemporary creative research.
Élise’s concept
Part of the Impériale collection, Élise is dedicated to Napoleon’s younger sister and her association with Tuscany. Gardens, coastal air and an independent, determined personality shape the concept. It is a modern fragrance inspired by a historical figure, rather than an authenticated formula worn by its namesake.
Extra info
The official pyramid specifies white rose of Grasse and Réunion vanilla. Its combination of marine notes and a rose–eucalyptus heart gives Élise a distinctive twist on rose perfumery; Rancé classifies it as watery-floral.
