i recently ordered a tin of mikes natural bay rum. so many people love the bay rum smell so i thought id try it out but i had never smelled it before........i have no idea why this scent is so popular. to me it smells like lemon and a peppery leaf when you open it but the after smell is pure old man. i made a lather on my lunch and washed my hands with it to see if id grow to appreciate it, but no. the lather did feel awesome though. i think ill have to try a different one or the unscented and just cant hang with the bay rum.
