inspired by the old world bay rum first used by sailors traveling through the Caribbean and later popularized in barbershops, dark rum is a refreshing reinvention of a traditionally dark and spicy aroma. sweetened with ripe plum and crisp bergamot, notes of leather, rum and creamy milk are blended into an intoxicating mix. both alluringly warm and fresh, this scent captures the essence of long days spent in the tropical sun and late nights with friends. upon lighting, dark rum leaves a deep and indelible longing for all those places we’ve been – as well as those we’ve yet to visit.
