Rating: I love this smell! It really does smell just like bay rum. Used it with much success in CP soap.
I tried another manufacturer's "version," of bay rum and it was waaaaay off. Won't be making that mistake again ;)
Rating: Scent not very strong......put into my soaps and could barely smell it. Would have thought this is the kind of scent that is robust...but its not......

Rating: After reading the positive reviews, I purchased this oil to replace a Bay Rum I'd run out of and unfortunately, the results were disappointing. I made 24 bars of soap and there's no noticeable scent in them at all. The good news is, I only bought a small bottle. The bad news is, I've wasted raw materials and had to scramble to locate another Bay Rum fragrance as I have a wholesale order to fulfill.
Rating: i have looked for a very long time for this scent. The place that used to have it as a soap bar quit selling it. I love the scent. Plus, as an odor killing soap in the shower it works fantastic. Now that I have bought the small bottle to see if it smelled the same. i will be back for a bigger bottle.

Rating: Why am I just now discovering Bay Rum? This fragrance oil is fantastic. When I first got it, it smelled a little different and weak in the bottle, but I just dabbed the tiniest amount on the back of my hand and...WOW, I can't stop sniffing my hand, it smells so good. Sweet and spicy. This is going to make an awesome shaving soap...I can't wait to soap it! I bought the 3.3oz, I will definitely be back for more, but I will be getting a much larger size next time.

Rating: I have never smelled bay rum before, it's actually pretty good. Not overpowering at all, but a very nice light, somewhat spicy refreshing masculine scent. This is perfect because I plan on using this in my shaving soap and aftershave recipes. The price is definitely right so I think I be keeping this one in stock.

Rating: Great in CP. No discoloration or acceleration. Does not fade.
Rating: When I first got this and smelled in it the bottle I didn't really like it, then I was making little sample scent M&P Soaps and used this one and Whoa! Really different outside of the bottle, nice and masculine and spicy. Great Scent!

Rating: Personally I was not terribly crazy about this scent because it reminded me to much of store bought chemical soap but, that is just my personal opinion. As a professional fragrance designer and B&B'er this is definitely a nice scent. Masculine, sweet smelling enough without be foo foo. Very much a "gentleman's" scent. I give this a 5 star rating based on it being a scent that is well made, pleasant and classy and not on my personal feelings.

Rating: Delicious masculine scent!!!
By:Lauretta, San Diego, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Jun-2010
Rating: 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!

Rating: 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..
By:Cands, Marystown, Newfoundland Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: 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!
By:Linda, Council Bluffs, Iowa Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 23-Jan-2010
Rating: 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
By:Christopher, Canora, Saskatchewan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: 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.
By:Karina, Richmond Hill, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Sep-2007
Rating: 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!
By:Mechelle, Gastonia, North Carolina Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Jun-2009
Rating: 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.
By:David, Plaistow, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Aug-2008
Rating: Mixed this one with instant coffee in an M&P white base and the scent is great!
By:June, Vulcan, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: 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.
By:Karina, Richmond Hill, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Sep-2007
Rating: This is a really nice man scent. It needs to be a pinch stronger, however.
By:C E, San Jose, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Feb-2008
Rating: 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!

Rating: My guy testers loved this scent...holds up well in lotions. Plan to use in soaps for guy holiday gifts.
Rating: This is a great classic male scent. Smells strong staight out of the bottle, but in MP soap it smoothed out wonderfully.
By:Carolyn, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Very masculine scent...nice and strong in m&p soap.
