Found a Brut "Aquatonic" deodorant "stick" in my DH's washbag

For those born after 1976 this is deodorant that looks like a big white lipstick, and "Brut" is cheap pongy aftershave worn by men with perms and Peter Sutcliffe. "Aquatonic" was it's modern racing driver fresh Magnum PI cousin.

So..given these were actually made illegal by Margaret Thatcher in 1981 as they caused riots and brought about the New Romantics and flicky hair for all AIBU to ask my DH to remove it and buy a new one for his holidays?

Leave the fucker.

My 15 year old ds has a shelf full of brut and old spice, I'm told they're very 'in'. I do like them, they smell much nicer than the lynx things.

BelleDameSansMerci · 04/02/2012 23:49

With good cause. Grin

BaronessBomburst · 04/02/2012 23:49

Oh god! I was out with a load of girls from work last week, they are all 20 years younger than me, and gave them a sniff of White Musk when we were in The Body Shop, explaining that it was compulsory to wear it when I was their age. They all thought it was lovely...... Grin Grin

A bottle of Loulou leaked over my Latin exercise book. It stank for the entire term. I wore Mitsouko though.

Bewilderedmum · 04/02/2012 23:50

Has he got any denim aftershave :o I used to buy my dad that for Christmas - for the man - who doesn't have to try - too hard....

BelleDameSansMerci · 04/02/2012 23:50

Brut and Old Spice are in?

Holy hell, if men start smelling of Kouros and Fahrenheit again my libido will be all over the place.

meditrina · 04/02/2012 23:51

Have you still got hidden ant Aqua Manda?

Bewilderedmum · 04/02/2012 23:51

Oh - and leave the bastard :o
