Hortense

"Hortense, daughter of Joséphine and mother of Napoleon III, was beautiful, seductive and intelligent. Blue eyes and golden hair, she smelled the flowers of Holland, of which she was queen, and the spices of the countries she dreamed of. A bold composition of spicy and mysterious notes, enriched with a warm and sensual base, creating a lively and irresistible aromatic adventure. Expression of an exuberant personality, the bouquet debuts and seduces with spicy notes of cardamom, pepper and bergamot, and then leads to tasty accents of Ceylon cinnamon, Cedar of Lebanon, Bulgarian Rose, Incense: precious notes that still today evoke hints of Overseas and trace the routes of an intriguing olfactory map. The warm base of woods, incense and vanilla lights up in the rich splendor of spices. Heir to the Rancé tradition of excellence, the Eau de Parfum adds an unprecedented note dedicated to a sophisticated and charming woman." - A Note from the Brand.
