Thread: Bay Rum Parade "AtC"

Never thought of using any cologne as an after shave rinse or for that matter a sponge bath scent. Makes sense though. Though my wife is not fond of the way it smells on me I still have a little from Bonny Dune Farms Mehan (sp) line which I use sparingly. I will, however, pick up a bottle of Dominica or Royall as the opportunity presents itself ( he he he )

If you get the Dominica, read the little tag that comes with the bottle. I have read reviews abroad from Islanders who grew up with Bay Rum and they use it for more than an AS.

I agree with you. In fact, I smell the cork stopper as much as the bay rum in my Dominica. Not that it's bad, but Ogallala definitely has the stronger scent.

I find the Dominica short lived, but it definitely makes for a nice base and other applications. I full well know it's biased, but I still can't come to grips with the fact that some would not like the scent of BayRum ?? To me that's like saying you hate.....Key Lime Pie or Rum raisin Ice cream......oh I love those !! So glad this thread did not get lost. +1 Glen !

Continuing my quest for the best Bay Rum, I came across the St. Johns Bay Rum. This products comes to us directly from, you guessed it, the Virgin Islands (St. Thomas). I was very excited when I received this one as a present last night. The presentation is beautiful and my initial impression was also positive. St. Johns Bay Rum has more complexity than other examples when smelled in the bottle. It has more cinnamon notes than any other Bay Rum I have tried. It also has some citrus notes to support the main character of the scent. After I shaved this morning, I used a normal amount of St. Johns Bay Rum (I know this does not tell you much but it only means that I did not use more or less than I normally use) and prepared myself for another Bay Rum treat. Well, the results were satisfactory as this products has a nice complex profile that includes a prominent but not overpowering allspice supporting role in the scent. It also seems to last longer than its cousins but it is still very subdued ;-). However, this one does not have the explosiveness of other Bay Rums; it is not so medicinal and intense when you apply it to the skin. St. Johns Bay Rum comes in 4 different "flavors". I only tested the classic/original scent. I certainly like this product but I have to say that it is a bit atypical for a Bay Rum. At a retail price of around $40 this may not be your everyday Bay Rum but one worth trying, especially if you are looking for something slightly different. This product is not as easy to find as other Bay Rum products.

Al raz.

found this at a men's clothing store in my city, they also sell the same brand bay rum soap bars for 10 dollars. I can't justify paying for the cologne just yet but definitely going to try the soap.

Nice collection Glen, I really liked the original Pinaud so thought I'ld try the Bay Rum and love it , good thing as I got the large bottle. As I make room in my cabinet I'll have to try some of the others. I haven't been able to find the Ogallala, anyone know where to find it?

Also just so you know I am not happy with you in searching for his link I saw a couple of Bay Rum's that I don't have or ever even heard of hehehe

I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it, but Layrite bayrum aftershave is great. Really strong at first but then soothes really well. Good scent as well.

Guess you're going to have to build a cabinet just for your Bay Rums

Anyone know where a good quality Bayrum candle can be found ? Just a thought.
