Islander Eau de Parfum

Inspired by the story of Bay Rum, a story about men and perfumes

In the 16th century, sailors discovered West Indian laurel, the common name given to Pimenta racemosa, a small plant native to the Antilles, also known as Bay St Thomas.

Its dried leaves, when rubbed on the body, release an extremely fragrant oil, excellent for refreshing and perfuming oneself after months spent at sea...

While farmers in the Antilles were busy shipping sugar to Europe, some particularly ingenious slaves on the same plantations discovered that fermented molasses (a sugar byproduct) could be transformed into a sweet alcoholic beverage. Thus, brewers used the crude recipe created by the slaves, distilling the drink to increase its alcohol content, thus obtaining the famous rum. This method (distillation) became an excellent opportunity, exploited by an ingenious sailor from the Virgin Islands to infuse the leaves and extract their essential oils.

This is how Bay Rhum was born. This cologne, enriched with spices, citrus zest, and cinnamon... was created to be used by the islanders in their daily lives.

It quickly became popular among people, used in massages or after shaving. Created in the Antilles, this fragrance enjoyed enormous success worldwide. Popular in New York among American barbers and appreciated by the male population, it was also introduced to the royal courts of Europe.

Bay Rum is still extremely popular among men in the Caribbean islands (from Bermuda to the Bahamas, Barbados and the Virgin Islands).

Ligne St Barth wanted to preserve this wonderful Caribbean tradition, bringing a touch of modernity to create an absolutely exclusive fragrance.

The top notes (lime, West Indian laurel on an accent of aged rum from Martinique) have been preserved and Guatemalan cardamom, the queen of spices, and vetiver have been introduced.

The base notes include Caribbean guaiac wood, Havana tobacco and Atlas cedar.

This olfactory composition was named Islander.
