Thread: Bay Rum Parade "AtC"

I also have the TOBS Bay Rum and like it.
I just ordered some of the Captain's Bay
Rum and am looking forward to using it. My
wife hates the smell of it, but I like it, so
there!

I'm also a bay rum addict..er..fan going back about 20 years or so.

Didn't see Caswell-Massey Michelson's Bay Rum in your grouping. It is one of my alltime favorite bay rums. Very warm, rich and spicey. Caswell claims some orange in the mix and I think I dectect it along with unmistakeable Pimenta Racemosa (Carribean Bay).

I've read others reviews on it, some claiming that the scent doesn't last very long, but I've found that it lasts all day. Not overpowering as some modern fragrances, but I still catch subtle whiffs of it even at the end a hard days work.

One of the more pricey bay rums, but good stuff.

Scott:
Would you put this in the second group then ?????? it sounds like it may have some type of conditioners in there
Thanks for the info

I think the second group is most appropriate. Can't remember all the ingredients (they were listed on the box, now long gone) but it is certainly a high end bay rum.

Oh, and I thought I'd ask while we're on the subject, something about Pinaud's bay rum.

I have a general fondness for all Pinaud aftershaves (yeah, even Lilac Vegetal). The appeal is partly due to their history and tradition (the pricing doesn't hurt either). But I notice in many of their aftershaves, especially in the bay rum, a rather funky, almost skunky note. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this, or maybe it's jusy my olfaction?

Sorry if this slightly your thread....

Scott

hon'd,

I don't pick that element up. There seems to be a very strong clove element, but there is nothing in the scent which is off-putting to me. And for about 6 bucks a bottle I think its fragrance is very on-putting.

Got one for your second group (I think second group?). Sorry no pic (can't find our camera) however, here is the link:

Great stuff and a little goes a long way.

Wow, was going to start a thread and ask for new aftershave suggestions and found this. You have all the information I need right here. Thank for putting this together Glen!!!

Picked up a bottle of the Capt Smith's Bay Rum gave it a try. I also tried the Bay Rum lime. I liked them both and so did my wife. Just the right amount of scent for me. You know its there, but not overpowering. Ken

I wanted to tell a little "Bay Rum Story" here that I should have told a year ago. My daughter loves the smell of my Dominica Bay Rum aftershave. She says I "smell like Christmas!" Anyhow, she got married a year ago and at the rehearsal dinner, for my Father-of-the-Bride speech, I told her fiancé that I wanted to give him a secret weapon in keeping the affections of my daughter. I built it up rather melodramatically and then presented my fine new son-in-law with his very own first bottle of Dominica. It was a lot of fun, and a year later, he confides in me that the "secret weapon" really works!
