It had been quite a time ago that I purchased St. John Bay Rum previous to this purchase. It was much more aromatic and the scent lasted longer back then. I will go back to Royall Bay Rum for less money and same lasting power. Too bad they had to ruin a good thing.

Personally, it's okay, but then I'm not the one wearing it. It was a request from my husband. I don't know if he'd seen an advertisement or smelled it in a store before. It was in his Wish List, so I made his wish come true.
It does not do for me what Canoe or British Sterling do. I can't knock it though, as it is a nice scent and suits my husbands chemistry quite well.
