Rancé 1795 Pauline is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Pauline opens with Cotton Flower, Orange, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Rancé 1795's Pauline carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive violet bomb. While some hail it as natural and beautiful, others find it lacking in character or even unwearable, hinting at a love-it-or-hate-it marmite situation. Definitely try before you buy.

Scent Profile

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its long-lasting nature and strong violet character make it better suited for intimate occasions like dates or sophisticated casual wear rather than a restrictive office setting. While generally a daytime scent, its elegance could work for less formal evening events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pauline opens with a bright, citrusy splash of orange, quickly softened by the ethereal lightness of cotton flower and the creamy, exotic touch of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a delicate bouquet where powdery violet reigns supreme, complemented by the classic romance of rose and a whisper of earthy patchouli. As it settles, a comforting base of warm tonka bean and resinous benzoin emerges, grounded by the subtle, woody embrace of Virginia cedar, creating a lasting, sophisticated aura.
