The review

Strong contender. That is where Sovereign Cologne For Men 0557 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Royal Water.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Royal Water's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Royal Water — the 4th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
