Does it have to be from a Shop HaHa ?

Well I rustled something up in the wee hours when finally I had all my ducks in a row and all the ingredients landed on the mat.

My lady said that my freaky mix knocks the Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum into a cocked hat - probably because it is concentrated and contains nothing synthetic or out of a lab - E numbers or artificial dyes etc - 100% natural.

I`d say mine is definitely different and the total opposite to the Clubmans.

Erm - We did two versions - I did one and the Dragon breathed on another bottle and made it special - she wouldn`t let me see her mix because it was a secret recipe ; so guessing the extra oils and don`t know precise ratios.

My One :-
________
Red Leg Jamaican Spiced Rum
Lemon Oil
Sweet and Bitter Orange Oil
Lime Oil
2 types of Pimento - Allspice Oil
2 types of West Indian Bay Oil
Cinnamon Bark Oil
Vanilla Oil

Didn`t use vodka, isopropyl alcohol or pure food-safe glycerine

The Dragons :-
____________

All the above ingredients plus -

Elemi Oil
Bergamot Oil
Lemongrass Oil ?
Benzoin Oil
Petitgrain Oil
True Laurel Leaf
Normal Bay Oil

Both are quite good IMHO but hers is much deeper and more complex and longer lasting - like a good aftershave - mine`s like a fleeting refreshing splash.

We need some labels printing `cos the white chalk glass pen went wonky and we are both waiting for a lift to the pub sometime this weekend - probably the designated drivers are getting re-designated and playing musical chairs in the pub and carpark - worse things happen at sea - gives us both time to preload on cheap red Spanish plonk - Happy Daze !
