Tell Me About Captian's Choice Bay Rum

I'm like you. I love bay rum that is overpowering with clove. Sadly, this is not CC. It's a sweeter Bay Rum with vanilla and cinammon being the top notes. I would still say you should have it in your den. The scent is still pleasant and it's an outstanding performer.
If you're looking for more clove, I would suggest Ogallala soap (not as good a performer) and D.R. Harris Bay Rum Aftershave. The latter is what bay rum should smell like, IMO.

The OP *doesn't" want overpowering clove. Because of this, CCBR would be highly recommended, as it contains no clove at all. It's my second favorite BR, behind PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum, which also contains no clove.

Misread that, sorry. What he said.
I enjoy Captain's Bay Rum, but I don't have any left at the moment, so I can't speak to any hint of clove. I can say that the performance is excellent.

CC is a top choice for a "cloveless" bay rum, good performance and nice notes of bay, vanilla and spice.

I strongly dislike Ogallala Bay Rum. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Although I like DR Harris Lavender, I haven't cared for any of their other scents. If it is high clove I wouldn't want it.
Some people like high clove but it isn't my thing.

I'll look into Atomic Age Bay Rum.
Yeah, DRH is high clove. Stay away from it. I misread your post and thought you liked clove. CC should be up your alley.
I'm a huge Captain's Choice fan...just not their Bay Rum. I own both CC Bay Rum and CC Cat-o-Nine Tails splash. I keep asking myself...how has Captain's Choice built an empire on these products? I'm going to keep using them. Maybe they will grow on me. They wouldn't be the first products to have done that.
Anyone have the Bay Rum soap or cream? Does it smell like the splash?

A new BR just reviewed is T+S's Indian Bay, with top notes of citrus and a good bay oil and allspice background. It's a great take on a conventional BR without the cloves.
I find it easier on my face than Ogallala, which burns like fire (at least on me). Nice scent, too.
CC Cat O’ Nine Tails is my go to Bay Rum. I thoroughly enjoy the product, plus the Captain is both a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with.
I had an email exchange with Captain Scott once and was very impressed. So is Cat O'Nine heavier on the clove?
I just got a sample of CC:Bay Rum from Maggards and it's a very, very clove dominated scent. In fact clove is just about the only thing I can smell if I'm sniffing the soap directly. Maybe the aroma dynamic changes as you lather it, but I'm not sure since I haven't shaved with it yet.
