Strong and unpleasant
I love Cannabis and Vetiver so I gave this a shot but I’m so disappointed. There is nothing rum about it, instead it smell like typical hair conditioner. It’s strong and sweet floral plus milky. If you usually prefer clean/earthy/citrus scent, avoid dark rum.

Smells Nice, Not Long Lasting
It’s a nice heavy smell upon spraying but does not last past an hour or two hence the 3 star review. If you’d like something that is sexy but doesn’t last when you arrive to dinner get this one.

Smells amazing, should be Plum not Rum
I normally wouldn't have tried a scent called Dark Rum. Fortunately, the company had a representative there, and she convinced us to give it a try. This scent seems truly unisex to me. The opening leans a bit masculine, and then the drydown is delicious. I personally get a lot of plum, amber, and vanilla. It has moderate sillage and projection, but the longevity isn't amazing.

Shockingly bad- DO NOT BUY
Worst aftershave I have ever bought. Loses the smell after around an hour, although it smells great it just doesn't last.. if I hadnt bought this from this website I'd of assumed it was a fake. So disappointing.
I bought this aftershave off a different supplier a few years ago and didn't have this issue

Lovely perfume!
Such a lovely, fresh and clean scent. Unfortunately I don’t find it to be super long lasting on me, but I know this isn’t the case for everyone. I would purchase this again and explore more products from the brand because it all the scents are wonderful.
