The Scent of Bay Rum

The leaves of Pimenta racemosa are the source of the famous bay rum fragrance, long popular in traditional grooming and aftershave preparations across the Caribbean and beyond.

It is a close relative of allspice (both in the Myrtaceae family), which explains their shared warm, spicy character.
