Bay rum is the name of a cologne or an after-shave.
It is a distillate that was originally made from rum and the leaves or berries of the West Indian Bay tree, Pimenta racemosa. Other ingredients may be citrus and spice oils.
Bay rum was quite popular in the early 20th century; while still in use, it is no longer common.
Other uses include as under-arm deodorant.
