A House Divided-Sandalwood ASB

[Mr. O]

I have been blessed that every aftershave scent I have liked and purchased she has liked too. Yesterday I decided to use some of my Edwin Jagger samples that came with my shave brush. I shaved with the aloe cream and followed it up with the natural sandalwood aftershave lotion. The scent, the feeling, it was like The Heavens opened and beamed a light of goodness onto my freshly shaven face! How could this be? The scent instantly made me intoxicated with a feeling of happiness, pleasantness, wow that stuff smells by far the best out of any scent I own. It's like, I found my destiny and it is in Edwin Jagger Sandalwood ASL.

I pranced my way to my wife and sheepishly asked to give me a smell. What happened next was abominable. She said she didn't like it. Suddenly my life crashed before my eyes.

Those words made me feel like It was like, I didn't even know who she was? I slunk away, defeated that for the first time, our house would be divided-EJ Sandalwood ASL and me on one side, my wife with her evil oldfactory on the other.

Last night I begin searching for sandalwood ASB/ASL in my area that I could smell and possibly match up to my beloved EJ. I went to a Crabtree & Evelyn nearby to do a smell test. Yuck.. When I got home, I let her smell my wrist where I applied it. She likes it!. So I guess this will be a house divided. I really love that EJ stuff and when I have the money I'm going to make a purchase so I can entertain, at least my own, senses.

I haven't tried the EJ, but so far SWMBO has not liked anything sandalwood that I have tried. Ah well, some things we just have to do for ourselves.

Ah, yes. The whole SWMBO approval process is, for me, murky at best. Generally speaking, my DW hates the scent of virtually everything I use (with the notable exceptions of rose & bay rum). I've learned not to even bother asking what she thinks anymore. I just use what I want.

I think you've used up your next few years of smiley quota in one post.

It had the opposite effect in my house. I had a sample of AS splash that had a sandalwood scent. My wife loved it to bits... makes me gag and want to scrub out my nostrils.

My wife and I have known each other too long for "fragrance disagreements" to become an issue. We just agree to disagree, I wear what I want and we both throw a party when she notices a scent she loves!

Sorry to hear that. On another note this has to be the best use of emoticons I've seen in awhile.

That EJ Sandalwood ASB is heaven in a bottle. My favorite ASB by far.

Now I need to try the EJ sandalwood - fortunately, my wife likes most of my colognes/scents and we agree to disagree on the others.

Sorry for your pain.

My wife views sandalwood as hit or miss.
