Thread: Homebrew Bayrum Recipes

After one week, this is how my Pimenta Racemosa maceration looks like. I will keep on macerating for at least one week more.
I must say it smells way different from any Pimenta Racemosa essential oil I have ever used or smelled, of course when properly diluted and, of course, not referring to its pure and non diluted form.
This maceration aroma is absolutely the very best Bay fragrance I have ever smelled, including all of the commercial Bay Rum aftershaves I know of. I guess this is the proper way to go for the making of a Bay Rum aftershave and I can't wait to start making it with the other dried Pimenta Racemosa leaves macerated in real aged rum.
The bad part of this is how and where I could possibly get dried Pimenta Racemosa leaves in Italy? These leaves have been brought back from the Dominican Republic and given to me by a friend of mine who spent his vacation there.
