Jeanne Sandra Rance

Jeanne Sandra Rance is the current owner and creative director of the historic French perfume house Rancé 1795. As a descendant of the brand's founder, François Rancé, she has been instrumental in reviving the family legacy, which originally served the French imperial court. She oversees the creative direction of the house, drawing upon the brand's extensive historical archives to reintroduce traditional formulations and develop new contemporary compositions.
