How is the staying power on this? I have the Royall Lyme and it’s the best lime scented AS I have tried. The BR is next on my list from them.

Fixed this for you... Rod adds just a hint of clove to the recipe but is heavy on the nutmeg!! Grab a bottle of nutmeg and compare it to your soap sample...

VERY difficult to beat Captain's Choice when it comes to Bay Rum.
He makes one that I love. Comes the closest to the aftershave that Avon came out with in the early 1960's. A true Bay Laurel Leaf scent, not synthetic smelling. Beautiful stuff.
AND he's a nice guy that is NEARLY as incredibly handsome as myself or @Marco !

I agree with my friend FarmerTan. I love a good bay rum scent. Tried many, and Captain's Choice soaps and aftershaves have been favorites for a dozen years. I still hoard, and occasionally use, my first CC Bay Rum soap released under the RazoRock label, and an early aftershave formula made with rum and grain alcohol. The current formulas are just as good as those early ones in scent and performance. North soap and aftershave are a close second.
While I love the scent of Ogallala, and use the aftershave occasionally, the performance of the soap isn't great. I'll still occasionally buy a puck to use as a shower soap for the clove hit, because it reminds me of stays with my grandma in the 1950s. Her apartment always smelled of cigs and cloves, as she rolled her own cigs, while chewing/gumming Bazooka gun and cloves.
I really like the Stirling soap, how it smells but the performance is even better, it’s different than other Stirling soaps i have. The splash is for me a bit too much.

Your grandma sounds like someone I'd have loved to party with back in the day!
The scents differ from one another quite a bit. If you don't want a lot of clove smell, the Mystic Water version is the way to go.
I'm not a big fan of Bay Rum scents in general, but mixed with other scents like lime it can be quite nice. I am currently enjoying Bay Lime shaving cream from Stone Cottage Soapworks. It is very strongly scented, so if you like your lathers to not be shy, this one would be a great choice.

For anyone who’s tried both the Ethos Bay Rum and PAA Atomic age, how do the scents compare?
I have the PAA Atomic Age aftershave and really like it.
I’m quite keen on trying the Ethos Bay Rum (soap & AS), especially after seeing this picture in another thread:

Im guessing this is the REAL deal?
It sure looks like it!Im guessing this is the REAL deal?
I found and really like Le Pere Lucien Bay Rum. A clean and fresh scent for bay rum. The scent lasts a long time.
This is my favorite.
Lol….I like the others like the Limes and Peppercorn, Orange, and cedar. Love other scents mixed in with bay rum.
I really like Grog Two from Tallow + Steel; definitely a little different than a "traditional" bay rum, and great performance.
I was going to say this. Atomic Age is my favorite for sure. The Classico is good too, but Atomic Age is amazing.
Stirling Bay Rum and Orange Chill all mashed up together.
Yeah, I'm weird.
