Created by Francois Rancé, Josephine is a fitting tribute to the first lady of Napoleon’s affections. A floral woody musk fragrance with a distinctive and refined character, Josephine features a vast array of floral notes that calls to mind the extravagant opulence of the Imperial court. After an opening characterized by a rich floral bouquet shot through with an invigorating hint of fresh bergamot, Josephine continues to develop in the heart notes with the inclusion of fresh fruit aromas and hints of spicy clove. A base of warming amber, enticing vanilla, and luxurious ebony wood completes the scent in refined style, typical of the house of Rancé.
