"I may not be the prettiest flower in the garden, but I sure am a wild one."
(Martha Jane Cannary a.k.a. Calamity Jane)
When I came to Custer in the Gold Rush, I wore the uniform of a soldier. It was a little awkward at first, but soon I felt comfortable in men's clothes. They still smelled of sweet and spicy bay rum, that stuff against all sorts of inflammations that the troops smeared on their faces and drank after shaving. I thought they looked great on me. They were like old orange peels with nails of tart cloves, buttons of blind ginger root with little shimmer left, full of dust from the nearby Black Hill mines, the canyons and desert roads. And like me, they carried a cinnamon-warm core somewhere inside. There among the brown sugar crystals in all the emptied whiskey barrels.

Russ and Danielle Vincent from Nevada started making handmade soaps and founded their brand Outlaw Soaps in 2013, through which they sell all kinds of care products as well as colognes and solids.
With "Calamity Jane", they dedicate themselves to the Wild West legend of the same name from the end of the 19th century, who, orphaned at the age of 11, did all kinds of odd jobs to keep her younger siblings afloat and later made a name for herself as a gold digger and scout for General Custer's troops in the Black Hills Gold Rush as a smoking, drinking, swearing, tobacco-chewing woman in men's clothing.
The cologne strikes me as somewhat less complex and multi-layered than Martha Jane Cannary's character, but it still captures the theme well, opening with a spicy, slightly pungent clove, which is harmoniously counterbalanced by warm, spicy, subtly sweet cinnamon. A hint of tart orange and muted ginger root expand the spectrum just a little, which is rounded off by a whiskey note that already seems to crystallize in brown cane sugar, thus creating a typical bay rum character for me, altogether rather mild and therefore also very wearable. The "a little spicy, a little sweet" printed on the bottle sums it up quite well. You certainly shouldn't expect a very high-quality fragrance at this low price, but it is certainly well made.
