Good for you. I gave up alcohol and chewing tobacco within just a few months of each other roughly 3 years ago as well. I was convicted that I needed to do it before the request came. I also know that more is caught than taught with kids, and I really wanted to start being a better example.

She is not a big fan of Pinaud Clubman...she says I smell "old".

She also doesn't like any of my various tobacco scents. I think they remind her of when I was a smoker. I quit almost 3 years ago at her request, so anything with "tobacco" in the name or title is a no-no to her.  She does acknowledge that it's my choice. I mean, I put them down July 10, 2013, and haven't touched a cigarette since, so she appreciates that I am done with them, she just doesn't like the scent...it reminds her of having packs of smokes laying around...and I can't blame her for that...

Other than that, I usually get, "I don't really care, Dad. Wear what you want"...

As an aside...her request that I quit was her Birthday Wish. I asked her what she wanted for her 9th birthday, and she said, "I just want you to quit smoking so you'll be around a little longer".  That was 6 days before her birthday, and I haven't touched a smoke since...

That's awesome to hear!

Chris and Garrett, congratulations to you both!


So far the biggest scent my wife hates is Night Music. She says it smells like tooth decay.

Oddly, I say the same thing about Angel and A*Men.

That's too funny! My wife likes it. In fact that's what she's been using to shave her legs.

My wife loves the Velvet and Dickens. She claims it's Cherry Starbust that's used to scent the soap LOL.

I still have to make her the cookies from the recipe that Barrister_N_Mann included in the shipment when it was purchased.

Agreed,

I own so many frags, that I could not expect my GF to like them all.

She knows I'm a complete frag head, so she accpets that sometimes it's not her favourite scent.

As you say it's called compromise.

Great to hear. I'm working on the tobacco thing, but I have no kids, and my wife doesn't help. **** it I'm wearing Pinaud Clubman to bed.
