OrientalWhat does Bay Rum smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage is good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It reads as a masculine fragrance.
It opens with eucalyptus and orange, fresh and fruity. The heart of cinnamon, bay rum and clove adds spicy, oriental warmth, and musk softens the base. Stirling Soap Bay Rum (Aftershave) and Vûrv Royce Black have a close profile.
