...so when I saw a Turtle Bay display in Tommy Bahama with the wife yesterday, I decided to amble over and take a whiff. This immediately turned off the 60-something year old sales lady, who had been chatting me up and placing her hands all over her soft and ample and exposed decolletage thanks to a wench like blouse (sorry about the visual and I hope I don't get banned!) as I walked from display to display and made my way to the Bay Rum. "You don't want that," she said. "It is very spicy and it isn't Tommy Bahama. It is Turtle Bay." She tried to lure me away from the Turtle Bay fragrances and shaving cream tester, over to the Tommy Bahama fragrance, "which is fresh and light, like you just took a shower! [bats eyes again]" I resisted and took a whiff of the cream and I was back in the islands until she said, "Why do you want to smell like the kitchen?" She had a couple more derogatory comments before I left the shop, but I still left smelling like an Easter ham!
Her associate tried hard to downplay the strength of the scent, remembering that she was in retail sales. "You want to smell it a couple hours after it has been applied."
My wife and I enjoyed the visit, but walked out empty handed. Bay Rhum is pretty polarizing, even with the older crowd, eh?

to the 10000 power. Its alcohol burn is insane followed by the typical bay rum burn. I didn;t realize it was not supposed to be like that until i tried the Ogallala.
