RANCÉ 1795 is a Maison de Parfumeurs with a unique tradition. Born to a family of glovers, François Rancé founded his Parfumeur workshop in Grasse in 1795. A favourite perfumer by Napoleon, François revolutionized the art of perfumery by creating fragrances of timeless excellence. Subsequent Rancé generations continued to develop innovative fragrances for illustrious figures of their times. Moved to Milan in 1902, RANCÉ 1795 historic HQ houses a Perfume Museum featuring vintage products, archives and the Rancé collection of objets d'art. Today, the 7th generation is carrying on the family's traditional craft, inspired by ancient recipes, selected natural ingredients, passion and creativity. They produce iconic contemporary fragrances which make RANCÉ 1795 ever more unique.

Giovanni Rance

 

Giovanni Rancé is the 7th generation heir to the celebrated dynasty of Maiîres Parfumeurs established in Grasse since 1795. Grown in the creative atmosphere of his family’s “perfumed universe”, Mr. Rancé was soon able to master the secrets of the Rancé tradition. A degree cum laude in Economics from the famous Bocconi University, together with the experience gained in Finance and a strong passion for Art, enable Mr. Rancé to give a new interpretation of RANCÉ 1795: an innovative, eclectic vision. Giovanni Rancé today distils the balance between tradition and the contemporary world by creating scented and artistic masterpieces, which sing the emotions of soul and senses.

Maurizio Cerizza signed in 1986 his first success with the female fragrance of an internationally renowned fashion house and in over thirty years of career, he was the author of over two hundred fragrances. For several years he collaborated with the University of Ferrara, as a teacher in the training course in cosmetic sciences and technologies, discovering his aptitude for teaching, and contributed to the formation of some young people who approached the profession.
