Created by Jean Rancé to celebrate the birth of Napoleon’s reputed, but never publicly acknowledged, daughter. Helene is a paean to romantic love and youthful optimism, with its striking aroma of delicately selected floral notes and exceptional woods. A warmly spiced floral opening yields to a heart of rose, orange flower, tonka bean, and jasmine, which combine for a sumptuous and opulent scent befitting the distinguished provenance of the house.
