The review
Exciting Sovereign scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Much Ado About the Duke.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Much Ado About the Duke's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Penhaligon's Much Ado About the Duke is nutmeg, black pepper and elemi at first, cypress, geranium and clary sage at its heart and leather, vetiver and amber at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- nutmeg
- black pepper
- elemi
Heart
- cypress
- geranium
- clary sage
Base
- leather
- vetiver
- amber
Nutmeg and pepper over cypress and leather, aristocratic austerity in a stag-topped bottle.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
