Sovereign is a tribute to the founder of Le Galion. A spicy, oriental amber fragrance that opens with spicy notes of pink and black pepper and develops into a bouquet of rose, iris and myrrh.
Queen Ambra
This amber fragrance skilfully sets the scene with its serenity. The distinctive guaiac wood, the perfect counterpoint to rose, makes for an extraordinary first impression. A spicy burst of black and pink pepper precedes the proud duo of rose and iris. In the heat of the resin, myrrh and oud burn quickly and brightly in the powerful and extravagant base.
In the 1930s, when Le Galion was founded, Europe was still influenced by the Orientalism wave of the previous century, which reflected a preconceived image of the East in the West. Sovereign offers a magnificent view of the generosity that is highly valued in the Middle East and North Africa, all from a Parisian perspective.
Franck Bouis on Sovereign
‘I imagined a fragrance with grand proportions, truly larger than life, a fragrance for those who shine brightly and attract attention. First, the spices burst forth, then comes the dazzling rose – a nod to the French chic of the house. All these scents revolve around a never-ending, luxurious base of ambergris, woods and resins.’ – Franck Bouis
