What does Savoy Steam (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes, pink pepper and Tunisian rosemary, give a spicy, fresh start. In the heart, geranium absolute and Damask rose add a floral, green texture. At the base, benzoin sweetens the scent while incense resin leaves a smoky trace.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits between the two. Aedes de Venustas Encens Japonais and Franck Boclet Incense have a close profile.
