Description
In March 2008 Rancé 1795 has added a new fragrance to the prestigious patriotic collection inspired by Napoleon and the victories of France. The new jewel of this collection is created by Mr. Giovanni Rancé, owner and Creative Director of Rancé 1795.
In 2015 the fragrance was reformulated. The euphoria of spices, together with vivid hints of fruit and an oriental woody touch, tell the joy of living. Just as they celebrated, thanks to Jean Rancé, the birth of Napoleon’s only son, Francois Charles. Today, François Charles rises again as a multicolored bouquet, a joyful walk across an Italian garden.
The aromatic opening is sparkled by the zesty notes of bergamot, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon and bitter orange. A modern, tasty touch is given by melon, pineapple and apple. A warm wave of spices gives the
Fragrance an unexpected sensuality. In the Heart, the aromatic notes of sage and lavender are matched by the freshness of orange blossoms and by the delicate rose and jasmine. The captivating soul of sandalwood and iris, is made even more precious by ebony, patchouli, cedarwood and vetiver. Gourmand notes of caramel, bitter chocolate and vanilla are finally enhanced by raspberry and white musk.
Before reformulation the top notes were neroli, basil, cardamom, floral notes, bergamot and Calabrian lemon. The heart followed with cumin absolute, floral notes, ginger, geranium, cloves, and jasmine, while the base notes included Virginia cedar, iris, amber, leather and sensual musk.
The new packaging, covered in a pearl-grey paper of the highest quality, reminds of delicate hues of Sage and aromatic plants’ leaves. Baudelaire’s words, hidden within this elegant coffret, are dedicated to a perfume which reminds of joyful children and green gardens. Like this fragrance, whose new soul is a fresh enchantment.
Francois Charles was launched in 2007.

This is better than these reviews give it credit for imo.
It starts fresh and bold, settles a little sweeter, then sits softly but confidently.
It is strong and last for as long as you’d expect for the price.
It is not groundbreaking but it is a nice take on a popular genre.
It’s perhaps like hearing a quality remix of a familiar song. I imagine it’s how others will interpret it as well when smelling it on you.

I got this as a sample from scent trunk ! But am pretty disappointed its definitely unisex and i would say more feminine its very powdery and as a 21 year old male this just doesnt drop panties, it more or less smells like middle age womens panties, a pass for me.

This is a good scent but its almost identical to Le male by Jean Paul Gaultier. The only difference is the basil and lavendar in Rance which compensates for the mint in Le male. Rance has a bit if a sweeter dry down than Le male, almost like a cotton candy or bubble gum effect. If you like Jean Paul Gaultier then you’ll like this one.
Advice to the wear. This could be an all day scent. You could wear it year round all season long. I would recommend wearing this in the spring or summer, during the warmer months or warmer climates.
*Longevity 6/10 – This scent doesnt last too long 6 hours
*Projection 7/10 – The sweetness really makes some noise in the beginning but once it drys down it becomes more of a skin scent
*Warmer months and or climates

The fragrance starts off strong with herbs, and then smells like baby powder. I very expensive baby powder! I also think this is a uni sex scent.

This fragrance starts out very citrusy(neroli)floral and fresh herbal leafy basil. It’s sweet, fresh, and strong. It’s kinda uncommon, i think. Then it becomes very mildly spiced but remain herbal with a tiny bit of neroli and jasmine. The base is typical for Rance, at least for my skin, with its ambery musky character with a slight powdery feel. Woody note doesn’t shine here at all. It’s hard to categorize this fragrance.
Francois Charles is a pretty fragrance for men. It’s sweet and quite floral with really musky base. It’s long lasting and high quality. Be sure to check it out if you come across one. It’s quite different from the norm.

I tested this sample on myself before giving it to my husband and I find it to be so beautiful and glorious I have decided to keep it for myself! Francois Charles is such a rounded, beautiful scent that seems to release every note in it’s composition so very elegantly. The basil, neroli, and cedar, oh my! Earthy loveliness. I really find this a treat for my senses. The fact that I adore the forest and my herb garden is one of the reasons I find this scent so enchanting. The description listed above – “harmony of scents which graciously replace one another” couldn’t be more correct! Truly a beautiful find! And most beautiful for a woman also!
Now I just need to figure out how I can afford to buy a bottle…….
