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

[taxiforme]

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?

Oh yeah Brut and Old Spice are very cheap and nasty in now. Actually quite like the smell of Brut.

My mum used to wear Aqua Manda...

I remember when Chanel Coco came out. I used to drown myself in it...

Phew thanks, Fiend but he is about 18 stone and looks like pooh bear.

What if he starts wearing skinny jeans with a skinny tie and skinnyshirt and converse.

We have only been married two years.

It'll be worse if he dresses like Don Johnson in Miami Vice...

Kouros.
I popped my cherry to that smell.

Oooh sun-in.

I was a bit of a Duranie and had a lovely flicked orange fringe.

And I quite like the smell of brut and white musk too.

Worse than that though - I used to wear a batwing jumper my mum knitted for me. In public.

Quite!!!!

Sorry, the "quite" was to Kouros...

If he starts wearing a batwing then deffo I am off.

DB had a pastel pink bat-winged cardy and very blond hair. His friends nicknamed him 'Angel Delight'.

I am off to bed, I am going to tempt old Tubbs to some of my kajagoogoos and to get to the bottom of the talc malarkey.

maybe that will learn me to go in his "man drawer"..there is the accumulation of 37 years of shit in there..oh and to the poster who's hubby lost the reciept for the wine prize..never fear in this house. I have found one for a breast pump bought in 1995 (in the drawer of shame) shall I try and take it back to JL?

Brut is the smell of my teenage self wanting to have sex.

Just realised I might be letting myself in for 80's sex.
On top of the coats to U2.

Probably only get as far as "hush hush..I do I" if he wears Kouros.

Think I might buy DH some Kouros to see if it still has the '17 year old effect'

I'll see you your Opium, your Paris and your Anais Anais and raise you Georgio Beverley Hills. One drop and you reeked for a week.

Ooh no Kuros reminds me of travel sickness.
My dad used to wear it and I got horribly travel sick. I was about 8 when I asked both my parents to stop wearing perfume and after shave when we were on long journeys.
Just the mention of it here I could smell it again and bleurgh felt like a sicky kid again.

Just had a google and realised that I've been wearing my day time perfume Donna Karen Women for the past 20 years

Damn my fear of change, I'm wafting about like a member of Eternal with greying roots. Must embrace current trends!

It's abuse. You do realise you are the victim of sensory abuse here? Leave him NOW

I used to share a room at university with a girl who wore Poison - god that stuff reeked!

"worn by men with perms and Peter Sutcliffe."

Aqua Manda- class
As was Impulse in the black bottle.Like liquid Oddfellow sweeties.
And later, Obsession by Calvin Klein.

at Peter Sutcliffe!

DH recently bought a deodorant smelling of Brut.

Kouros... God I loved that. Must get him some. DH that is. Not Peter Sutcliffe.

Ooh, kajagoogoo! Thanks taxiforme.
