Does anyone know whether the bay rum scent for Stirling or Mystic Water is similar to Mike's Bay Rum?
Mystic Water is very different to Mike's, and honestly different than anybody else's version. It's tough for me to pick out exactly what's going on in that, but I recall it was drier, smoother, and not nearly as spicy.
Stirling is in the same ballpark as Mike's, but I find it a bit better, as it incorporates some citrus notes of orange into the mix, and leaves out the vanilla, so you get something a little bit spicier and complex. Rod's Bay Rum is my favorite version of that scent, followed by Al's Calypso.

I will put it this way: Mystic Water Bay rum is for bay rum lovers (me) and for bay rum haters (my wife). It has some sort of sweetness, smelling it for a long period of time makes me dizzy (in a good way)

That's actually a part of the problem...i honestly don't know if i like a clove-y bay rum
Maybe I'll start with a sample the next time i order some bath soap. They also have a Bay Rum Witch Hazel, which I assume will be very similar to the AS.
