 Non-scented Royal Bay RumJun 25, 2009
By Leslie C. Englehart
My husband has used this very expensive product for years. This bottle has almost no scent. It smells like pure alcohol. This has never happened when I ordered this product from a small store. $50 literally down the drain!

Not What It Used To Be. No Longer Made in Bermuda, But in the USAJul 11, 2010
By T. Campbell
I bought a bottle of "Royall Bay Rhum" from my normal supplier last fall. I don't go through a bottle but every few years. Evidently, it has been near six years since my last purchase, because the Bermuda people sold out six years ago, and now the marque is formulated in the USA by Royal Doulton.
This recent bottle is H2O and alcohol with a fraction of the oils of the Bermuda product. I had an e-mail conversation about my and my wife's impressions with the Royall people in Bermuda. The Bermuda Royall contact stated that the ingredients are the same, but the US Customs somehow regulates how much of the key oils can be used in the US product. I rather doubt the involvement of US Customs, when the more likely reason is that Royal Doulton is cheapening the product using less of the oils that used to give this Bay Rhum such a punch.
My wife used to love this. She noticed immediately that the new bottle has only a little of the impact of the fragrance and no depth. I have a bit of the old product, and she can tell the difference right away.
So, about $38 for a 4 oz. bottle for nothing.
I recommend not buying this product. You will find it now unsatisfying compared to what you bought several years ago.
Now I need to try to find another Bay Rum(Rhum) product that is satisfying to my wife and me. Unfortunately, the St.Thomas is a bit on the sweet side for my wife's and my preferences, but all of the others I have tried are too weak and lack the kick of the old Royall, Bermuda product.
Bring back the old product, please, and it will sell nicely. This new formulation will not succeed in the market.

Bayrhum NO aroma!Mar 27, 2009
By J. L. Delaughter
I have used Royall Spyce & Royall Lyme for over 40 years. I bought from Amazon the pkg of 3 (Spyce, Lyme & Royall Bayrhum), but discovered that the Bayrhum has NO aroma! What do I do? Return it; go buy an oil to give it an aroma; or, toss it? I am truly disappointed - almost disgusted. Was this an error at the factory or what?

May as well use waterJan 30, 2009

I recall the Bay Rhum I used in college - Royall Lyme brand I think (as opposed to Royal Doulton), but the Bay Rhum essence. It had a distinctive aroma that i could smell for close to an hour (others I suspect longer) but I think it was cologne, rather than "after shave cologne". In any event, the aroma of this stuff is so weak to my olfactory apparatus that I asked my wife what she thought of it. Her reply was "barely detectable". I think I'll stick to Tiffany for Men, Paloma Picasso's Minotaur, and Caron's Pour Homme in the future. To me, this stuff is no better than water. I may let half of the alcohol evaporate to see if the aroma gets any stronger. Otherwise, I'll simply toss it.

 Not what it used to be (only a few years ago)Feb 24, 2011

My first bottle of Royall product was bought at Brooks Brothers in 2001, and I loved it. Later, I happened upon a bottle at the military post exchange, and still later bought some in Bermuda while on a cruise. All of these products were outstanding, and all were made in Bermuda -- not the USA like this one. Since this is a review of the Bay Rum (Rhum), I'll talk about this one.
First and foremost is the difference in smell. The Made in Bermuda version was heavier, with less alcohol smell. It was more complex. This smells like cinnamon infused alcohol -- what happened to the bay scent? When you poured the old stuff into your hand, it had a dark, almost tea color to it. This is absolutely clear.
There are other differences that have nothing to do with the smell itself. The old stuff had a bay leaf in it, which is missing here. The bottles from Bermuda are almost entirely handmade, and it shows. And finally, the original had a solid medal cap with no insert. This new USA version has a cheaper medal cap with a white plastic cap glued inside.
What kills me is that this stil isn't a horrible aftershave, especially for the price. That goes to show you how absolutely great the old stuff was! I hope Royall gets the message on this product. If you're listening, you've made the best aftershave in the world for years, and your licensed US producer is killing it.
