I love the thought of a bay rum scent but I find I seldom love the scent itself. Additionally, makers so often put so much spice it it to make it unuseable for me, especially if cinnamon is in play. Murphy and McNeil Bad Mor hits the spot for me. Although no bay appears, the spice and pine seem to lead my nose there anyway. There is a kiss of vanilla to sweeten things up and of course the lather is an impeccable low structure cream.
