definately a masculine scent! I can definately pick up on the woodsy undertones in this one. Good overall smell, though I'd love to see a sweet rum scent sometime in the future!

A barber friend uses this scent as well as the Bamboo and Teak scent on his customers and they love it.. Using those scents can make men customers for themselves in a handmade soap business..

I was somewhat disappointed in this scent. I was expecting it to smell similar to the old time barber shop scent. But, my husband seems to like it and that is all that counts! So I give it a thumbs up!

I recently discovered this fragrance and it has become a favourite of mine. It has a nice balance of spicy & warm without being overpowering. If you are looking for a clean, spicy masculine scent this is definitely it

Second time buying...looking at my last review of this FO below many many months ago, I am now left wondering if I'd gotten a bad batch then. This FO smells completely different (better!) and is very strong OOB...perhaps NDA improved on it? I just know that my male customers will love this in a soap bar, and I'm so happy I gave Bay Rum a second chance.

This scent is very masculine. I havent tried it in a product yet, but I'm thinking the men in my family are going to be in love. Smells good just sniffing it from the bottle! No chemical note in the background - always a bonus!

I combined this with ND Witch Hazel for a nice after shave. It makes a great air freshener too. Adding a few drops of Mace EO was the finishing touch.

Mixed this one with instant coffee in an M&P white base and the scent is great!

I have to agree with the last review---the scent is nice, but not as strong as I though it would be given the scent description---you can barely smell it straight from the bottle muchless in the finished soap.

This is a really nice man scent. It needs to be a pinch stronger, however.

This is a lovely masculine and old world scent that my male clients adore! Much like the light scent that the barbershop would use on the neck area after a haircut. This holds up great in CP Soaps. Be sure to keep yours temps. low and be prepared to work fast to get it into the mold as does set up fast! This is a keeper for our Men's line of soaps!

This is a great classic male scent. Smells strong staight out of the bottle, but in MP soap it smoothed out wonderfully.
