What does Bay Rum smell like?

It lasts well and projects at a moderate level. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen most often for leisure time. Voters mostly see it as masculine and classic.

As a whole it carries a spicy, resinous air: cinnamon, clove, cardamom and pimento come forward, while bay rum and laurel set a green, woody base. Citrus notes and orange blossom add a soft, fruity sweetness. There is an earthy side too. Thomas Sabo Rebel at Heart and Andrea Maack Flux have a close profile.
