The foundation of all the brand’s fragrances, including its original titular fragrance [St Johns Bay Rum], is the distinctive spicy aroma of bay oil, derived from the bay leaf trees that grow abundantly on the island. Other St Johns Bay Rum fragrances focus on capturing different facets of St. John. Vetiver, for example, captures the sweet grasses of the Caribbean along with citrus fruits and spices.

If you have never tried St. John’s soap, I recommend them. My favorite is the vetiver. It’s my favorite bar soap, and I have shockingly many bars of soap! Their bay rum soap is powerfully scented. I have tried a few of the others, but if you’re a fan of vetiver, this is a clean citrus scent. (And I have no connection to the company, my first soap was a gift.). Be well.
Thanks — and looks like Smallflower has the soaps, as does Amazon.
