Top notes
In the top notes, Bêtenoir lists bergamot and lychee. The citrus, common in the opening of a chypre, sits alongside a rounder, sweeter fruit; the house specifies neither the dosage nor the quality of the materials used.
Heart notes
The heart brings together orange blossom and rose. These two flowers give Souverain its floral facet, which the house does not comment on; no origin or extraction method is indicated for either one.
Base notes
The base combines leather and musk, in keeping with the leather and musky families chosen by the house. The leather answers to the name Souverain and to the quiet authority that Bêtenoir attributes to the composition.
