When it comes to the most traditional scents, one can rarely have a conversation without bringing up the term “Bay Rum.” For those of you who don’t know, Bay Rum has been a popular scent throughout shaving history but lost interest as we made the transition to cartridge and electric razors for more modern scents.
Today there has been a resurgence of Bay Rum scented products because of the popularity of classic wet shaving and the interest of yesterday’s scents.
Bay Rum is a scent that is composed of bay leaves, rum and other local spices. Scents commonly identified with it include cinnamon, clove, allspice (think apple pie), oak, sweet vanilla, eucalyptus, musk, and other spices.
The article below traces the origins of the use of bay rum back to 1500's naval tradition, it covers a few well-known products that use it and even provides a recipe for you to make it at home yourself.
