Description
French house of Romea D`Ameor introduced a collection of seven perfumes, which were inspired by secrets of beauty of famous women who played an important role and marked the history. These women are charismatic and radiate in full beauty. The perfumes were created in cooperation with perfumer Pierre Bourdon and they were named: The Princess of Venice, The Great Inca Priestesses, The Mistresses of Louis XIV, The Sovereigns of Egypt, The Great Empresses of Japan, The Secret Heroines of the Tsar, The Taj Mahal’s Eternal Love.
The Sovereigns of Egypt promises floating on fragrant clouds of melon, passion fruit, litchi and cloves; middle notes are enriched with orchid from the Baleari islands, jasmine, magnolia, rose and heliotrope, while base notes include vetiver, iris, Peru balsam, coconut, peach, vanilla, amber and musk. The Sovereigns of Egypt was launched in 2008.

All I can smell is caramel. Sweet, slightly vanilla, but apart from that nothing else. Quite uninteresting.

Initial spray was absolutely wonderful- sweet fruits. With this kind of perfume you literally only need one spray, which is awesome. The top notes faded very quickly and the perfume changed completely into a more masculine scent. The middle smells like tobacco smoke mixed with black licorice. However, the dry down is completely amazing… smooth creamy, delicious vanilla. This scent is completely growing on me!
I do layer this scent with Benefit’s Laugh With Me Lee Lee. It tames the middle notes and creates an absolutely beautiful frag.

Complex, sweet, slightly spiced. Sweet melon and perfume-y vetiver that smells like sandalwood. Mostly the notes all blend together in a pleasant but undecipherable mass. Elegant, but to me overcomplicated. To someone else, this will be heaven: Soft, pretty, well spoken. Also fairly sheer and not a lot of sillage.

Roméa D’Améor LES SOUVERAINES D’EGYPTE is a somewhat sweet floriental with a comfort-scent demeanor. The vanilla and orchid mingle together in a creamy base to create an effect as snuggly as a fleece blanket on a cold winter’s day. Like fleece, this perfume has a thinner texture than is typical for floriental perfumes, and it even comes close to some of the aquatic orientals I’ve tried, including Lalique NILANG and Salvador Dali LAGUNA. There is a touch of spice but it is very light and serves only as a complement, not as a focus in this composition. Although I sometimes find orchid a dirty note, here it seems clean. (Perhaps because it’s green?) Despite the thin texture and somewhat low sillage, the longevity of LES SOUVERAINES D’EGYPTE is fairly good. This is an unobtrusive oriental appropriate for public settings: neither very dark nor very complex. Perhaps this would be a good oriental for the hot weather in Egypt. 3.25.11

I agree with Rebella on this one, it’s a sweet fresh creamy scent, the cloves adding some nice depth (not much depth) but it’s sexy but still a fun scent. I don’t find the clove overbearing at all and I just love the clove sweetness of this one. Yes it’s sweet but something about it just makes me want to keep sniffing it.

Edit April 2014 – I felt the need to completely rewrite my review on this one. It is amazing. Perhaps my nose was just not up to the challenge that day but this perfume is divine – I picked up my sample again (Oct 2010 I likened this to Exlaimation and Tresor) and while I kinda ‘get’ the floral oriental notes that mimic some of the best parts of Tresor, it’s nothing like it!
This is a beautiful subdued Arabian style perfume. It has a beautiful vanillic accord, not to different to Cinema by YSL actually. But there is that soft powdery-woody note present – I prefer this one, it has more balance and intrigue – utterly feminine and pretty. I am definitely buying a bottle of this. I love the sweetness, the bright, juicy rosey floral accord (its a very fresh, bright floral, not heavy at all) – what a gorgeous example of a vanilla floriental. I think floriental gourmand fans will appreciate this one.
A horrible comparison to draw but people who fell in love with Vanilla Kisses by Impulse will find a similar feel in this one, but done way way better. This has a nostalgic factor for me – I smell my late grandmother in all her opulence and class, though she was a Jean Patou wearer, but damn! I want people to think of me when they smell this, I want this imprinted on everyone’s minds for all of time as smelling of ‘me’! This is a signature fragrance, warm, beautiful, oriental in all the right ways.

well, this is not bad, for some reason I expected a little bit more character of this one. The intro notes are lovely, the drydown is a little bit similar to that of SL’s Arabie (honey-dried fruit-like, not that cloying, though).
On the way there was one thought that kept popping up in my mind i.e. ‘Cloves. I love cloves but somehow this is too much’
Rose – :
A fragrance that is packed with flowers, fruits and creamy vanilla. It is soft, warm and sweet. Smells expensive and luxorious, a fragrance that chers you up and make you very comfortable. It´s kind of silky lingering, like exclusive handmade french underwear. Never to strong, to sweet or to much. Just enough of everything, excellent blenden, very seamless… Perfect scent for many occations, whenever you want to feel secure, confident and sexy without showing off. Incredible longlasting and nice sillage, without disturbing. It kinds of grow on you, I like it better for each time I try it, like many of the others in the Romea D’Ameor-serie. Very much worth a try, and a new try and before you know it, you are really found of it! Enjoy!
