Penhaligons say its a renaissance of a bay rum preperation from the archives. Rediscovered in the pages of time.
The spice (black pepper, cardamon) of life (Mandarin , tangerine) brings panache to the lemongrass and musk- Patcholi that characterises this energetic scent.
The final touch? Soothing lavender and moss, musk and amber-patchouli .
The firm favourites of gentelman (and sailors)
So it's Penhaligons take on a bay rum scent.....I have not found two bay rum scents that smell the same, everyone has a slightly different take on it and I don't think this one is a typical bay rum but I love it.
Just perfect for hot sunny days sipping a rum and coke!P.
Yes, most bay rums do have cloves in them and not everyone likes cloves, Penhaligons Bayolea is the best take on a bay rum type scent I have tried but as I said its not a typical bay rum scent to my nose. P.Thanks Paul. I did have a sample of a Fitjar aftershave balm (sorry can't remember the name). Which they said was their take on Bay Rum and I didn't like it at all. I think it might have been the clove in it?
I did really like Bayolea though. One of the best performing fragrances I've tried so far.

First outing of the Rex I bought a couple of days ago. My previous SOTD posts were with the Rex I had on loan. Which was a 'M' batch BTW.
This one (N batch) has had a number of amendments. All of which I'm happy with.
The blade is easier to fit for starters.
The collar you change the settings with is a lot tighter so there is no fear of you moving it during the shave.
Unfortunately I'm still getting a lot of drag. So I'll have to see how to address this in subsequent shaves.
The finished results were excellent though. The closest shave I've had since using the R41....but without being skinned alive.
