Rum battle 1

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a rum scent, not too masculine leaning. So, in my search for the perfect scent, I came across Van Py Rhum and Andalusian Soul . How do they smell compared to each other, if anyone has had the opportunity to smell them both?

Thank you!

trust me when I say this. "Tony Iommi Monkey Special | XerJoff" this is the be all end all for rum scents. And definitely not masculine leaning. I feel it sits perfectly in the middle. Its elegant on women and sexy on men.

Hi!

If you want to check some of my favourites are

Andalusian Soul Unfortunately I haven't tried that Van Py Rhum so I can't compare them but Andalusian Soul is very sweet with ambery and slightly balsamic aroma.

Vanilla Diorama One of the best versatile Vanillas, not too boring, not too simple, just perfect with warm spices, creamy Sandalwood and Rum.

Love Delight This is a strange one since it's not so good if you smell from the skin but the scent cloud of it is irressistible. It's powdery, like a rum flavoured sugar cloud.

Parfum de la Nuit 2 is an absolutely elegant and luxurious, resinous blend with a subtle boozy undertone from Rum. This one is not a gourmand.

Lost in Paris The most luxurious gourmand which I have ever tried. This is the most gourmand from this list - caramel, butter, Vanilla, Rum, delicious.

Spiritueuse Double Vanille Classy combination of Rum, Vanilla and Benzoin, I would say that this one and Andalusian Soul has a similar style with different twist.

Fan Your Flames X I'm not a fan of flankers but I love this one. The original is great but too loud sometimes, masculine leaning as well. This is pretty and if you love the combination of rum and coconut, this is so gorgeous. This is another one which is not clearly gourmand.

31 Tonka Bodykon This is like a feminine and sophisticated version of Angels' Share Eau de Parfum . They are totally different scents but with almost same notes.

Story of your Life Nothing special but worth to check from this scent profile. A pastry like texture.

These all are sophisticated and feminine leaning. Rum is not that strong bold alcohol blast in your face but elegant, attractive and irresistible nuance in the blend. "Tony Iommi Monkey Special | XerJoff" is a great scent but it's strong and it has totally different kind of vibe than those ones above. If you love feminine scents I think it's too much for you, worth to try though. I have it and love it but rarely reach it because of how overwhelming it can be.

Van Py Rhum is defo a Masculine scent. Tons of deep dark patchouli and smoky vanilla.

Andalusian Soul is much more feminine.

"Tony Iommi Monkey Special | XerJoff" is also defo Masculine - not even a question. It smells like the sweaty dark backstage after a rockband concert in the dry-down. Not Rum-focused.

Maybe you could check out Spiritueuse Double Vanille , as mentioned above.

Maybe, maaaybe Écrin de fumée if you like tobacco and chocolate too.

Perhaps 31 Tonka Bodykon .

But rum is consdered a masculine scent, at the end of the day. Especially the sour Kilian type.

@Ninamariah I got the same vibe when I tested the OG and X. Both are very nice but the OG is the masculine version while X is the feminine version. I did get a FB of the OG for myself.

May I suggest also Ambre Narguilé , a beautiful Hermès scent

Would Jazz Club be considered too masculine leaning? I like it and have it, and it’s an amazing rum scent in my opinion.

I recommend sampling an unusual feminine leaning fougere, La Rhapsodie Noire that tries to recreate the atmosphere of a Parisian jazz club. The rum notes are beautifully balanced by the coffee, tobacco and flowers and it's a much nicer recreation of the music nightclub atmosphere than Maison Margiella, imho.
