Penhaligon’s Savoy Steam ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 21 February 2017 12 Comments

Penhaligon's Savoy Steam

Penhaligon’s will launch Savoy Steam, a new unisex fragrance, in March. Like the now discontinued fragrance Elixir, Savoy Steam was inspired by the brand's first scent, Hammam Bouquet. Hammam Bouquet was introduced 1872 in honor of the Turkish baths next door to the original Penhaligon's barber shop on Jermyn Street in London.

But what moved [barber William Penhaligon] the most were the infusions. The London and Provincial Turkish Bath Co. was modern, most exotic. And in the very same building. You see as he whistled and lathered and made polite conversation, the vapours from the esteemed building downstairs slid under the door. Day after day they inspired and relaxed him. They became a part of his existence until this inspiration spilled into something that still TODAY brings us joy….

Savoy Steam will be available in two concentrations, both developed by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou.

Savoy Steam Eau de Parfum ~ With geranium, rosemary, pink pepper, rose, benzoin and incense. 

Savoy Steam Eau de Cologne ~ With lemon, eucalyptus, rosemary, balsam fir, cedar, incense and resins.

    Although I find their bottles ugly, I do like the way the bow on these ones is a little towel! Seems rather different notes for the two concentrations? Will look out for them.

        They look like traditional Turkish towels, or am I reading too much in to it?

          No, that was my assumption too!

    I am happy I followed Robin’s idea and got myself some Elixir shower gel before it is gone.

      Really sorry they axed Elixir, I thought it was such a great scent. Hope these are as good.

    The cologne sounds nice to me.
    I like their Juniper Sling.

    Oh that EdP sounds divine. I hope it’s not too heavy on the rose.

    I love elixir! I was hoping they’d release something similar but these seem quite different. I’ll give them a sniff though!

    Would that we all worked near a Turkish bath and enjoyed its fragrant vapours throughout the day. Sounds divine. What a great fragrance name “Savoy Steam” is! Rarely does perfume PR move me to do anything but *eye roll* – this actually makes me want to try both versions.
