Husband wearing expensive aftershave into office

He works in a big office for a national company, doesn’t have to dress up wearing a suit or anything - its fairly casual.

AIBU to say wearing Creed Aventus aftershave in every day is a bit OTT?!

You only live once.

Wear the fancy dress.
Wear the nice earrings.
And use the God damn expensive aftershave.

Creed wouldn’t be my definition of a ‘posh’ aftershave, why can’t he wear it daily, seems a normal thing to do? I wear scent even when wfh!!

Sounds like you don’t like the smell of it (and I don’t blame you), so surely it’s better if he wears it when not with you?

I would say Creed is a pish aftershave, doesn't it cost quite a lot?!

Oh jeez...typo I meant posh

I buy insane perfumes. But my god they make me feel amazing. I love knowing I am beautifully scented and I wear it everywhere. Even to ride horses.

Creed is gorgeous. Love it when my drivers wear lovely smelling scent makes my office smell great☺️

@Clafoutie - It’s Cashmere Mist. It lasts all day, with just a hint of a musky fragrance that seeps through into your clothes but not so much that others would be overly aware of it. It’s a roll on but doesn’t leave marks on your clothes (great if you’re into dark colours like me!). It lasts through workouts and music festivals and heatwaves and even overnight. The perfume notes are bergamot, jasmine, amber, sandalwood and vanilla, with lily of the valley running through - all deep and musky but feminine. They’re all my absolute favourite scents.

I don’t get my nails done, my clothes are permanently jeans, t-shirts and hoodies, I’m rubbish at hair, skincare and makeup as I tend to be really minimal but I can’t find another deodorant that comes close in terms of scent and staying power.

But it’s a hell of a lot more expensive now you can’t get it in the UK anymore - I have to buy it in from the US 😭

Thank you very much, you sell it well ( perhaps you should get some commission!) I am very tempted to look into this. Glad you found something you like. I think once you’ve found, that’s it! 😍

Ooohhh…I’d take commission in the form of the odd free stick of deodorant! Maybe I should put myself forward 😁
