That's the thing the booze smell evaps very quickly leaving behind the mixture of EO'S you used. Have a try take a small bit of straight rhum use as a splash or just rub on your are wait a few and then decide if you smell like you belong on the Bowery. When I get to a pc I will try to find that necro thread it is very informative and address just about every question one could have on the subject of bay rum, in fact I know that term is in the title and a lot of old timers chimed in if I recall guys like ozmaru (smile)
