Coconut Bay w/ Lime Aftershave/Cologne | A Phoenix Shaving Classic!

Can Bay Rum Get Sexier? (yes bay rum is considered sexy*)

Scent Profile: Coconut, West Indian Bay, Spices, and Lime. Sweet, creamy and slightly exotic smell of Coconut wrapped in a Jolly Roger of tropic spices with a playful, citrusy Limey top note! A magnet to the ladies yet a repellant to the scurvies. (read this not as love nor medical advice.)

Another classic Phoenix Shaving scent that seems to have accumulated quite a cult following over the years. The origin of this scent is a bit foggy to me, but I do believe it was a customer many years back that asked me to consider adding some coconut to my bay, a tip that didn't take much arm twisting. So a big thanks to him! Then there was my addition of lime, some citrusy goodness surfing on the top of it all with a hint of Chamomile. Here Comes The Sun!

* at least in my book.

As with all PAA's unique Aftershave/Colognes you will find nothing but the best ingredients inside every bottle of Coconut Bay: Chamomile Hydrosol, Alum, Aloe Vera, Glycerin and Carrot Extract. Then there is the sex panther of them all, Hedione!

Hedione? 

Although it has long been debated whether humans can actually communicate via pheromones - the chemical signals secreted by animals to help find a mate - Researchers have found that scent of Hedione generates ‘sex-specific activation patterns’ in the nasal tissue which links to the brain. It is the first time that a scent has been known to activate the pheromone receptor VN1R in humans.

“These results constitute compelling evidence that a pheromone effect different from normal olfactory perception indeed exists in humans,” says scent researcher Prof Hanns Hatt fro, Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany.

Hedione (chemical name methyl dihydro-jasmonate) – derived from the Greek word “hedone”, for fun, pleasure, lust – has a pleasant fresh jasmine-magnolia scent and is used in many perfumes.

It is synthesised from the organic compound methyl jasmonate which was discovered in 1957 and which is important in plants for seed germination, root growth, flowering, fruit ripening, and senescence.
