The name - Cigar Rum – is a bit on the nose. But the scent itself? A surprisingly delicate and detailed piece of work that, while definitely redolent of the rich, dried fruit and tobacco leaves soaking in oak caskets of Caribbean island booze implied in the name, has a lightness to it that makes it a fabulously easy wear. We think that part of what makes Cigar Rum such a great candidate for office wear and daytime is that the layers of balsamic woods, tobacco, and dried fruit are dry and crisp, aerated by a salty note that might be the seaweed absolute. The rum is rich and almost chocolatey in its booziness at first, but this fades quite quickly, leaving a cozy, toasted mélange of oaky tobacco and dried fruit to linger on the skin. In other words, people will think just that you smell deliciously cozy and ‘warm’, rather than suspecting you’ve been drinking. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar – and Cigar Rum just smells good.
