The dominant scent of the Pinaud is cloves and a lot of it, very little bay rum scent, if you ask me.
I dont want to order and the 2 bay rum choices are available by my home. Im sure there are better rums out there but I dont rant to wait.
I've never used the Pinaud Bay Rum but have used Royall Lyme and really liked it. For a light bay rum I go for Superior 70.
