Selexion Sovrano II — character and positioning
Selexion Sovrano II is a new unisex fragrance from the Italian brand Selexion, released in 2026.
The composition is presented in parfum, or extrait, concentration, so it can be expected to have an expressive character and high intensity.
The fragrance is intended for women and men who appreciate green and woody notes with a spicy, slightly dry character.
From the very first seconds, Sovrano II makes its presence known with a fresh, energetic accord.
Basil adds a cool green aromatic freshness to the composition, black pepper heightens the contrast and gives the opening a piquant sharpness, while Akigalawood unites the peppery facet with dry woody nuances.
The opening feels focused and contemporary, without excessive sweetness.
How the fragrance develops
As it develops, patchouli and vetiver emerge at the heart of the composition.
Patchouli makes the fragrance deeper and denser, adding an earthy woody texture, while vetiver reinforces its dry, slightly smoky and elegantly green facet.
Together, they create a strict, confident character that transcends gender labels.
The final stage is built around amber and a woody accord. The amber touch softens the dryness of the woody notes and adds warmth, while the base retains a sense of depth and lasting presence.
As a result, Sovrano II comes across as a rich fragrance with a clear structure: a fresh and spicy opening gradually transitions into a multifaceted woody scent.
Sillage and wearability
Sovrano II is described as having very strong sillage.
The extrait concentration and combination of Akigalawood, patchouli, vetiver, amber and woody notes make the fragrance highly noticeable, so it is especially well suited to cool weather, evening outings and occasions where a distinctive perfume signature is appropriate.
On warm skin, the spicy-green opening may sound especially dynamic, while the base becomes softer and deeper.
The exact dosage for skin and clothing is not specified, so it is sensible to start exploring the fragrance with a small number of sprays and gradually find a comfortable level of intensity.
The fragrance within the brand's style
Selexion creates unisex fragrances in high concentrations, and Sovrano II continues this direction naturally.
It does not aim for obvious sweetness or overt ornamentation; the composition is built on a balance of green, aromatic, spicy, amber and woody accents.
This makes the fragrance appealing to those looking for a versatile yet highly noticeable scent.
In terms of mood, Sovrano II can be considered alongside Dior Eau Sauvage, Jacques Bogart Furyo and Lorenzo Villoresi Theseus.
At the same time, it stands out through its emphasis on a rich woody base and especially powerful sillage. The perfumer behind the composition has not been specified, nor have any other concentrations of this release.
