It doesn't take more than a few seconds for the rosemary to rise proudly out of the vapours and make its presence known. This is, again, true to life and incredibly pleasing. The pink pepper sits alongside it, but is decidedly more quiet to my nose.

I believe they did also make an exclusive range of matching toiletries for the Savoy when releasing this, which is a nice touch. You'll note that 'steam' is not one of the notes there, so lord knows how they're going to create it. Oh, and just to note, I'm reviewing the Eau de Parfum version, not the Cologne (apparently there are significant differences).

It may not carry you through a full day without a touch-up, particularly if you have a long night out planned. And although the value is reasonable, the price point may not be for everyone. Le Jardin Retrouvé: Citrus Discovery Set (Inc. Citron Boboli, Eau des Délices and Verveine d'Eté), Floral Discovery Set (Inc. Jasmin Majorelle, Rose Trocadéro and Tubéreuse Trianon), Oriental Sans Souci, Woody and Leather Discovery Set (Inc. Cuir de Russie, Bois Tabac Virginia and Sandalwood Sacre) As you wear Savoy Steam, you'll notice it's a perfume that loves the daylight. It thrives in the freshness of spring and the crispness of fall, making it a great choice for these transitions seasons. The delicate balance of floral and spicy elements ensures it's never too heavy or light - perfect for daily wear, leisurely weekends, or even in a professional setting.

I was trying to put my finger on what this combo reminded me of and then I hit upon something - Pimms - the British summertime staple of poshos! Given that Pimms does appear to be a combination of citruses, spices and botanicals, and is often served with mint and lemonade, that doesn't seem like a far fetched association. It was, however, totally different to what I expected from Savoy Steam when I blind bought it.The standout element of this fragrance is the Tunisian rosemary. It offers an unexpected twist to the scent profile, adding an herbal, green touch to the otherwise floral-spicy mix. And while the sillage may not fill a room, it leaves a pleasing, intimate trail that invites closer inspection. At first I didn't know what to make of this as I was expecting a more straightforward and obvious rose note but, the more I smelled it, the more I was enthralled - I particularly enjoyed the dry down as the sweetness reduced. I've honestly not smelled anything in the ballpark of this (so far); it's incredibly unique! Whilst the Harrods description implies that this is a perfume for women, I disagree. It is decidedly unisex. What I would say, however, is that it is an informal spring/summer perfume. It'd be perfect for a warm dry day when you're having a casual meetup with friends sitting outside at the pub or even just to douse yourself in having gotten out of the shower on a lazy Saturday. I'd be less inclined to wear it in colder weather or formal situations though because it does smell a lot like a spa (obviously that situation changes completely if you're going for a job as a masseuse...) Savoy Steam by Penhaligon's is a fragrance that defies conventional boundaries, inviting both men and women into its aromatic embrace. Launched in 2017, this perfume has a definitive floral core, subtly spiced and softened by fresh, resinous undertones. The result is a scent that, while leaning slightly more towards a feminine audience, brings forward a pleasant unisex appeal.
