Jeanne Sandra Rance heads a French perfume dynasty that traces back to the early 1600s, when the Rance family outfitted French nobility with scented gloves and clothing before moving fully into fragrance by the late 1700s.
An ancestor, Alexandre Rance, relocated the business to Italy in the late 1800s; today Jeanne carries the name forward by reviving historic formulas from her ancestors, including Le Vainqueur, originally composed for Napoleon by Francois Rance.
