Savoy Steam

Savoy Steam reads as an aromatic, spicy and musky blend with clear citrus and floral sides, built around the idea of a steam room full of herbs. Penhaligon's released it in 2017, and the perfumer is Juliette Karagueuzoglou.

The opening is cool and bracing: mint, eucalyptus and rosemary bring that menthol freshness, lifted by lemon, bergamot and a pinch of pink pepper. Rose and geranium give the heart a soft floral middle, with tea and cardamom keeping it dry rather than sweet. Incense drifts in alongside, and the base turns gently warm with benzoin, vanilla and white musk, so the herbal start ends on clean, slightly resinous skin.

It is a shared scent, worn by anyone who likes clean, spa-like freshness with more depth than a simple cologne. No wear reports have been gathered yet, so there is nothing firm on longevity or projection; the composition suggests daytime and warmer months.
