Hélène
Pear and currant lead into white flowers and magnolia, with amber and tonka bringing warmth.
Perfumer: Giovanni Rancé
Hélène draws on RANCÉ’s story of love between Napoleon and his last lover, translating that historical inspiration into fruit and white flowers. The eau de parfum combines the approachable softness of pear with floral brightness. Introduced in 2010, it received a reformulation by Giovanni Rancé in 2015.
Lemon, currant and pear give the opening sweetness and acidity. Peach flowers, magnolia, jasmine, neroli and pink pepper bring brightness and a gentle spicy touch to the heart. Amber, tonka bean, musk and patchouli move the fruit into a warmer, more grounded finish.
The selected decorated 100mL bottle complements its historical inspiration. Its progression from bright fruit to softer flowers and warmth suits a dressed-up afternoon or a leisurely outing.
