Tommy Bahama

St. Barts Cologne

2014

Rum punch at a swim-up bar — unashamedly resort wear.

Tommy Bahama St. Barts
citrus
aromatic
green

A cult favorite budget 'beach day' fragrance that punches above its $20-40 price bracket — Tommy Bahama's tropical vacation flagship. Lime-tequila-agave top gives way to a salty-guava-palm heart and a warm vanilla-musk drydown.

The take

  • Tequila-lime-guava cocktail vibe is genuinely fun
  • Lowest-stakes cruise and beach fragrance pick
  • Smells like vacation at grocery store prices

Trade-offs

  • Fades extremely quickly
  • Not sophisticated enough for anything beyond poolside
