A clean, sunny and sweet rose with a warm cardamom and incense base. Sadly I don’t get any eucalyptus which would really pull me into the ‘steam bath’, and yes, it’s uncomplex and linear, but it’s so uplifting I can’t help but adore it.

on me this is interesting: aquatic/tea, smoke, ambery vanilla; very light and airy

I have a tester of this in edp version and a tester of Malabah and to me they are so similar! Does anyone else think they are? I have had both on (different arms) this evening to really try to smell the seperate notes. First of all I really like Savoy Steam, I am not so fond of Malabah so there are some very subtle but important differences. I like the fact that Savoy Steam is more citrusy and a little bit fresher. To me it’s also slightly softer and not quite as spicy as Malabah. The cardamom and the rosemary comes out strong. I think that it must be the incense that gives it a softer, gentler smell. Savoy Steam is rather lovely, unusual and very wearable for both women and men.

Ii fell in love with this scent – cardamom and rose -ethereal and smart and blissful. The sample smells less intense. I actually bought this after loving the sample. Totally worth it.

As some reviews below have noted, the EDP and the EDC are listed separately in the database, as they should be – both fragrances are very different. I have only the EDP, received as a sample with my last purchase.
I was expecting something similar to Hammam Boquet, but was severely disappointed. Savoy Steam is nowhere close. It’s a light, slightly sweet, rose floral. That’s it. It’s pretty one-dimensional, you basically get a whiff of rose, and that’s about it.
As per the salesman at the store, the “Savoy” in the name comes from a tie up they have with the Savoy hotel in London (couldn’t find any information to support this). The the “Steam” refers to the steam process by which the rose is extracted, which preserves all of the essential oils. But hey, a rose by any other name…
Longevity is poor, I get around an hour and this is a skin scent on me.
For the USD 175 you’d have to shell out for 100ml of this, you can pick up around 4.5 litres of rosewater from the nearest chemist which will give you pretty much the same scent with about the same performance. I don’t think I’ll be investing in a full bottle…

I have tried both the EdC and the EdP versions of this and I must say I GREATLY prefer the EdP. You get better longevity, and it just smells a lot better. I usually like Colognes for the summertime, but the cologne version of this was like lightly scented water.
Now I LOVE the EdP version. It was pretty much love at first sniff. Spicy, fresh and slightly sweet. Incredibly refreshing, perfect for the heat and humidity. It just hit all the right spots too! I wore through my samples in a week and was like OK need to purchase a full bottle right now!! I get pretty decent sillage, and longevity isn’t to bad. Overall I am very excited to own this, and wear it this summer.

As the Cologne and Eau de Parfum versions of Savoy Steam are so different, they should be separated into two especially because their notes are quite different. The notes listed above are all messed up and totally useless to those who want to know how these two fragrances smell. Ratings for longevity and sillage are meaningless. If anyone want to know how they smell, please go to a Penhaligon’s boutique or seller. Reviews here are not going to help.

Nope. Was quite excited by the thought of this as I find Hammam Bouquet enjoyable. The perfume of this is boring weak sauce. There is no bite, it’s so flat. I’ve not tried the cologne yet and I’m hoping for better as it has different notes on their website.
This perfume is well balanced and not unpleasant in any way. It’s a light, balanced floral and some people will enjoy that. However it is so generic and flat. A general peachy rose smell that inspires no emotion and makes you feel nothing. It goes in no particular direction, there is no hook or reason to want this scent in your life.
If this was a cheap room spray or candle it would be an acceptable scent, not what I’d choose but I could accept it’s existence.
For a perfume that is supposed to hark back to Hammam or for something that costs over £130, Savoy Steam is a disgrace.

I wore my edp sample twice so far. It is clean, spicy and refreshing. It is not a strong fragrance. Would be great for a daytime outing or work. It is quite unisex. For the person who asked how it is being tested…Penhaligon’s gave me a sample when I purchased something else this weekend.

I just received my Savoy Steam EDC, and wow! It’s a 200ml bottle of nothing! There is almost nothing to say about it, I simply can’t smell it – and I’m not a fan of big scents. The notes I can detect are nothing like Hammam Bouquet, but the EDC never really sounded like it would be except for the marketing blurb. To me it’s like sniffing an empty glass of vodka & tonic and trying to establish what was in there.

I’d love to know how people have cast votes on this already. It isn’t launched until March 2017.
According to the info that I read from the Perfume Society, it’s a lighter, more modern version of Hammam Bouquet, hence the reference to steam baths in the name.
