Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Savoy Steam's crisp eucalyptus, mint, and citrus radiate freshness that shines in spring and summer. The green and floral heart suits mild autumn days but the airy, sheer structure is less suited for winter's cold.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its understated projection, clean herbal-rose character and refined freshness make it ideal for office, daytime, or casual wear. The low sweetness and moderate sillage keep it elegant but not dressy enough for evening formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Savoy Steam Eau de Parfum opens with a brisk blast of eucalyptus, rosemary, mint, and sparkling citrus, evoking a luxurious Turkish steam bath. The heart reveals a soft, dewy rose with geranium and hints of tea, floating on a bed of clean white musk, vanilla, and incense. Airy, green and aromatic, it wears like a cloud of crisp linen infused with spa botanicals, balancing warmth and coolness in a uniquely refreshing, refined way.
