Rancé 1795 L'Aigle de la Victoire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Giovanni Rancé. L'Aigle de la Victoire opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Birch Leaf and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Rancé 1795's L'Aigle de la Victoire carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper beast, divisive as hell. You'll either love its hardcore, animalic leather swagger or think it smells like a dirty public loo. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer something polite.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't an office-friendly scent. Its assertive, animalic leather is better suited for a bold statement on a date or a distinctive presence at an evening formal event, though its raw nature might be too much for some.

About

Opens with a fleeting, sharp burst of bergamot and grapefruit before plunging straight into a deep, dark blend. Birch leaf and raspberry attempt a brief, nuanced interlude, but the show is quickly stolen by an uncompromising animalic leather, backed by an earthy, slightly funky oud. A complex base of cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli provides a rugged, woody foundation, while vanilla attempts to smooth the edges of this raw, untamed beast.
