Meet Hortense on your own skin
Rance 1795 Hortense is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

On the skin
We have the name and the house of Hortense, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail. Give it time to settle before you judge it. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Hortense, and we note it. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Hortense from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself.
Testing it
We have no tags that say when Rance 1795 Hortense fits best, which leaves the choice to you. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly.
Our record does not say for whom Rance 1795 Hortense was made. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. If Rance 1795 is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Hortense from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Rance 1795 Hortense, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Rance 1795 Hortense yourself before deciding.
The brand
From Rance 1795 you find 22 perfumes here, each as a decant. The samples are our own decants: 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled from the original bottle and labelled by us. In our shop Rance 1795 sits with the niche perfume samples. A few small vials tell you more about a house than one large bottle chosen on a guess.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
