What does Bay Rum smell like?

Lime and spindrift give it a bright, green freshness. Bay rum, rum and pimento pull that freshness towards something spicy and lightly sweet, while ylang-ylang and jasmine add a soft floral note. Woody, powdery and resinous accords sit behind it, so it doesn't stay purely fresh but leaves a warm trail.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes this a rough guide. It is positioned as a masculine fragrance and suits those who want a plain, spiced freshness. Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta and Coty Emeraude (Eau de Cologne) have a close profile.
