So, MIL and I don't get on well. But that's ok as we don't see much of each other.
Now DH has asked me what the perfume I was wearing 7 months ago, last time MIL and I met, as she wants it for her birthday.

I said her wanting to smell like me was a bit weird.

He says I'm being irrational and should take it as a compliment.

Verdict please (have name changed as may show DH the thread)...

I would take it as a compliment. BUT i wouldn't want her having the same perfume as me. Smell is a personal thing and i only have 2 perfumes i ever wear.

You're being odd. What if a fried has asked? Would you tell them?

For a while my grown up daughter and I owned the same perfume. I think I got it first and she admired. I don't think it's that weird.

It's a totally reasonable thing to ask - she liked your perfume. So sue her. YABU.

I think you are reading too much into it. she likes your perfume. you see very little if each other so it's not as though it's going to be very noticable. yabu

She doesn't want to smell like you, she wants to smell like a commercially available perfume.

I think your dh is spot on

I agree with your husband.

MIL and I wear the same perfume.

Hubnut · 11/07/2015 19:39

I don't think it's weird, just means she likes your perfume.
