Bay Rum – Shaving Soap

We've wanted to do a bay rum for years, but it took a while to get things the way we want.

This is a tropical bay rum - quite different than most bay rums on the market today - this one actually has a bit of a rum kick to it and is spiced up with ginger and lime to give it a lighter more tropical feel.

Contains the following notes:

Jamaican Rum - this accord is a blend of natural and artificial scent oils, and smells a lot like a traditional oak-aged spiced rum.

Bay leaves - not the ones from Mom's kitchen!  This is 100% essential oils from the traditional  west indie's bay leaf pimenta racemosa

Bergamot - Essential to a tropical bay rum scent, this gives a nice citrus kick that isn't too sweet.  Bergamot is probably best known for giving earl grey tea it's distinctive flavour.

Lime - Gives a fresh kick to an otherwise somewhat dark scent

Clove - Every bay rum needs a bit of clove, though this one is understated and blends in rather than taking centre stage like clove will tend to if not reigned in. 

Cinnamon - A bit of warm spice

Ginger - This kinda sets this apart from most bay rums.  Initially, you get a nice strong hit of ginger which quickly mellows out to a more traditional dry down.

Black pepper - This grounds the scent nicely giving it a bunch more refinement. 

Vanilla - for a nice mellow smoothness - it really ties things together.
