Delightful, clean scenr
I've used Bay Rum for an aftershave for 60 years. It has a nice, gentle spice aroma that doesn't overpower the room the way musk aftershaves do. And, it seems to be a little lower in Alcohol content, so it doesn't quite burn as much as most other aftershaves. But, over the years, ordinary stores (Walmart, Drug stores, etc. have stopped carrying Bay Rum, and in recent years it's been impossible to find. Thanks to Ebay, these old pleasures are attainable through merchants (some very obscure) who have made it their business to carry products that you can't find in ordinary stores anymore. I stumbled across my old favorite Bay Rum on ebay, and ordered a bottle. 5 minutes after arrival, it was 1955 all over again. I love this old-fashioned aroma, and I find people near me asking me "what are you wearing?" The younger men have never heard of Bay Rum, they really like it. So do the women, who get tired of men you can smell across the room, wearing something overpowering. If you've never tried Bay Rum, you should. It's completely different from all modern aftershaves. And, it doesn't cost $40 or $50 a bottle like some of these upper end modern aftershaves do! Bay Rum is an aroma your Great-Grandfather would instantly recognize and smile!
