Thread: Bay rum scent

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!

I've PMed you sicboater, I can't wait to try it out!

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

Hi,

I have just joined your wonderful forum - I hope I can be of great service to you all. I handmake my own shaving products (amongst millions of other things) for both men and women.

Bay rum was once described to me by someone as 'a rough pirate smell!!' very true actually!! it is a bit alcolholic with an aniseedy clove type smell - very christmassy!?!

I have a good range of stuff in my shop but always make special orders so if you want a shaving oil that smells of licorice allsorts - that is what you get!!!

Have a look in www.scentfromheavenonline.com and let me know what you think.
