Traditional Bay Rum, refreshing and complex
My favorite Bay Rum has been Barberry Coast. The problem is I like it so much I sometimes use it more than once a day, just because I love the scent and the soothing on my skin, it's like aroma therapy or something. The really big problem is that at $40 for a 4 oz bottle, they have simply priced themselves out of what I'm willing to pay for a quality bay rum. So I started looking for similar quality alternatives at a reasonable price. Gilbert Henry was the 8th bay rum brand I tried.Gilbert Henry Bay Rum is outstanding, and as the last reviewer said, within spitting distance of Barberry, for about half the price. It actually has it's own thing going on where it's neck and neck for me between Gilbert Henry and Barberry.Gilbert Henry Bay Rum gives you the traditional bay rum scent and sting, opening with a big rush of bay rum and citrus scent. As the citrus dries down it fades, and there's this wonderful, soft complex mix of bay rum and a hint of sandalwood. Very similar vibe to Barberry with the big splash of bay rum and citrus, but Barberry dries down to a cinnamon and vanilla scent mixed with the bay rum.Both have super nice complexity and scent, with ingredients that moisturize my skin and leave it feeling great. I just love the Gilbert Henry scent, and suspect that the Gilbert Henry Bay Rum may be my new number one in time. You get a refreshing after shave splash, the full traditional bay rum experience, and then this light, complex after scent and moisturizing after dry down.I went with 5 stars, because it's outstanding. I wish it lasted longer, but I can't penalize a bay rum splash for this, because none of them do, unless they use ingredients that smell industrial and make me want to wash them off in a few hours.

Perfect with his shave set
This scent is amazing. The perfect level of spice. And it matches his bay rum shave soap, bar soap, and cologne which are also all natural based products!

Nice spicy scent
Product does what it says. It cools razor burn and soothes the skin. Can't say it does that any better than similar products that cost a little less, but it certainly isn't any worse. It dries completely after application with no tackiness. It does have a strong spicy scent that lingers awhile. If you like Bay Rum this is a good choice of aftershave.

Fantastic smell and longevity
I am what I would consider a wet shaving aficionado and have tried many aftershaves/balms. This is easily in my top five as far as the strength and longevity of the scent. I will absolutely be purchasing more of their products. Top notch.

The worst smelling after Shane ever unless you like the way cloves smell
I was hoping to like this aftershave it unfortunately I couldn’t it smellls very much like cloves and I don’t like wearing the scent of cloves on my face.

Wife likes it
I am a bay rum addict and like it strong so I can smell it as well as others do. A good share of people do not like a stronger bay rum smell. There must be a 100 bay rums out there and they all smell different. This is not on the strong side. Like it stronger, Barrister and Mann Kyovu is a good start there. My wife likes this a lot where my stronger type she is not overly fond. This will not offend others and still you get the bay rum smell. I give this 5 stars for those that do not like the stronger smell. It’s hard to give a bay rum review because people and bay rum’s are all different. This is a good start especially for those that do not like a strong clove smell which I am not real fond of also.
