That’s quite the label. Somehow I think you could do better.

I actually like that label...it's different and gritty.

Depends on your audience.

It’s just ok to me. It’s pretty heavy on the clove, I think I would prefer it if that was toned down significantly. I did like the little bit of mint in there, it was something that I didn’t think I would like in a scent like this but did. Performance was very good, loaded very easily, slick and protective. The tub is very flimsy plastic, not a hard plastic tub. All in all, not my favorite take on Bay Rum, I won’t purchase again based on scent. Was worth a try though, I’m always up for a good Bay Rum.

Interesting article puts BR aftershave in the US around 1838.

Ok you guys finally got to me. Especially andrewjs18 so I ordered everything to make a Bay Rum..

Love some thoughts on what other notes to put in other than the standards. I’ll be up front I’m not a huge fan of Clove and Cinnamon and I was leaning more towards a somewhat tropical Bay Rum.

Bay rums scents are subjective. I like mine to be spicy...I'm a fan of clove and allspice in mine.

I have a bay rum with sandalwood here that smells pretty good.

I'd experiment with a few small batches and send out some samples to us bay heads. Lol

Good idea Andrew.. I’ll do that.  Never thought of Sandalwood but you know how I love that so that’s an idea.
