Souverain

Souverain was released in 2026 by Bêtenoir. The house sells it on its website, betenoir.com, as an eau de parfum. Two sizes are offered, 73 ml and 37 ml; the 73 ml size, listed at €238, appears to be sold out.

The composition is signed by Vincent Ricord. Bêtenoir presents Souverain as a unisex fragrance and places it in the chypre, leather and musky families. No other perfume from the house nor any line of belonging is mentioned in the available information.

The house describes a tension that one chooses to keep under control and a quiet, discreet authority. It further writes: this is not a perfume that imposes itself. Bêtenoir thus contrasts assertion with insistence, without developing the point any further.

What is still missing

The bottle is not described: its shape, material and cap remain unknown. The precise release date, the price of the 37 ml size and the story behind the creation are also absent from the available information.
