I purchased the bay rum scented cologne and it just arrived yesterday (2/7/18). I have to say, I'm disappointed with how it smells. I'll qualify that by saying that everyone's sense of what smells good differs. I don't think that "bay rum" accurately captures the smell of it. For people considering purchasing this in the future, it smells like cloves. Just cloves. Strong, burn your nose cloves. I read the ingredients and it says there are other things in there, but I can't detect any of them. They are all totally overpowered with the strong scent of cloves. This cologne should have been named "cloves". Perhaps all caps might even be more accurate. CLOVES!! CLOVES!! That's getting close. If I had the option to use all caps, a bold font, and increase the size to 36pt. (AKA turn it up to 11) I think that might accurately capture it. Seriously folks, stick your nose into a jar of cloves and take a deep sniff. Yep, that nails it.
So, in short, if you want to walk around smelling not like rum, or bay rum, but a baked ham sans the porky goodness, (AKA CLOVES) you'll love this cologne. I want to like it. I really do. There's just nothing about it to like. :-(

That_One_GuyIt only smells like cloves during the workday. As soon as you leave work it transforms into the sweet smell of stale bay rum. This is a built built in, timelocked safety feature that prevents you from being fired for reeking of alcohol during working hours (or at a minimum being called to HR and told that they suspect you've been drinking at work and are sending you to the testing lab for a mandatory drug & alcohol test).
Since you smell like a cloved ham I'll request that Massdrop try to get a drop going for pineappke slice earrings. That way you'll have the look to go with the smell. https://www.amazon.com/iDMSON-Hypoallergenic-Strawberry-Pineapple-Watermelon/dp/B0791CLP8B/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1520374059&sr=8-20&keywords=pineapple+earrings
