From your scent profile
Le Galion Sovereign is a woody, resinous unisex scent that sets pink pepper and black pepper against a heart of rose, myrrh and iris.
Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.

SmokyWhat does Sovereign smell like?
Sovereign is a strong perfume: voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. Its spicy, smoky, oriental character suits cooler weather and evenings, and it reads equally well on men and women.
It opens with pink pepper and black pepper. In the heart, rose, myrrh and iris add a floral softness, with the myrrh giving it a resinous depth. The base settles into an earthy, smoky woodiness of patchouli, cedar, oud and gaiac wood. Réminiscence Bois Étoilé / Oud and Tom Ford Oud Fleur have a close profile.
