Thread: Bay rum scent

As Glen said, the best scent in the world! Of course that is just my opinion. Take a clove/cinnamon-ish smell and marry it to a vanilla-ish and that is probably as close as I can do. Should give you and idea though.

I sent you a PM. Bay Rums vary quite a bit from brand to brand, but I have a sample of one I will send to you if you want!

BAYRUM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far I've come across a two main "styles" of Bay Rum. One is more cinnomony-clovish-nutmegy, to me. The other is more...well Bay Rum - think more along the lines of bay leaves with some added spices thrown in. I much prefer the second style. When I wear the first type, I feel like a baked good. Domonica and Royall typify the type I prefer. Have at them all. Bay rum is relatively cheap.

I will get it in the mail as soon as I can. Ogallala Bay Rum is a clove, cinnamon, butter scotch smelling concotion to me. YMMV. One nice thing about it is it doesn't have tons of alcohol in it. The draw back is you have to shake the heck out of it before every use, the plus is it doesn't burn me. I'll send you a sample of the soap too!

De Layne thanks a lot for the post, I had no idea that the scent was open to interpretation by different soap makers. So many things I am learning on this forum!

My daughter summed it all up. She loves my Dominica Bay Rum aftershave smell. She said, "Dad, you smell like Christmas!"

Someone around here had posted a recipe for bay rum a while back. As I recall it was pretty simple stuff, alcohol, bay leaves and a few other things and then just time and filter. No I never tried it and I don't remember what the other things were but as I recall it did contain some rum.

Here is a thread that ya might wanna check out on Bay Rums
