Bay St Thomas

1 perfumes

Bay St Thomas, derived from the leaves of the Pimenta racemosa tree, belongs to the aromatic-spicy family. It offers a potent, medicinal profile characterized by sharp, clove-like heat and a deep, leathery undertone that feels both rugged and sophisticated. In fragrance compositions, it pairs naturally with citrus notes like bergamot or lime to brighten its intensity, or with woody resins to ground its volatile top notes. Given its bold, bracing character, it is particularly well-suited for the Gulf’s cooler winter evenings, where its spicy warmth cuts through the air with distinct clarity. Arab perfumers often utilize it to add a masculine, herbaceous edge to complex mukhallats, providing a sharp contrast to the dense, sweet profiles of traditional oils, ensuring the fragrance maintains a crisp, commanding presence throughout the night.
