Rum

Rum is perhaps generally associated with the Caribbean but the fact is that traces of an ancestor to Rum were produced in China and India since antiquity. Explorer Marco Polo was invited to drink what were described as sugarwine in today's Iran. But it was not until the 1600s as distillation took off and then in the Caribbean. Back then Rum was described as a hot, hellish and terrible to drink. But that has changed and today Rum is one of the world's most popular spirits and is used in the drink Mojito.

As a perfume, the perfumer will use chemical components and the scent is sweet, fruity with hints of Rum.
