Which of your scents have passed the "wife/gf test"?

[OpusX]

I can admit I have a small addiction to after shaves (who here doesn't ). Within my selection I find that they all have a place in my heart, but this is not always true with the "wives/girlfriends". Different strokes for different folks I guess. I will say that even if I like a scent the "wife/girlfriend" test is the most important in my book, as it lends itself to other bonuses .

Mine go as follows:

--GF Approved--
-Old Spice (Shultton, P&G)
-Aqua Velva
-Barbasol Pacific Rush
-Pinaud Bay Rum

--GF Denied--
-Lilac Vegetal
-Ivory Club

So the real question is, which scents do you have that have passed the test?

[RILEY]

She approves of Booster's "Iced Lime" or "June Clover" or Proraso.
I guess she doesnt mind them cause the scents are mild and just present themselves as clean. They do what they have to do & then move along. Aqua Velva might be questionable & pushing it, I am sensing a "no" from her on that one. She might be just tolerating it.

My wife has denied nearly all my aftershaves so far. The list includes...

Ivory Club
AV - Ice Blue, Sport and esp Musk
Pinaud Clubman
Pinaud Bay Rum (too clovey)
Masters Bay Rum (less strong of a hate, but not her favorite either)

She will say no to the Mandom that is on the way too, I can guarantee that. What does she like? Not much, that is for sure. Cologne-wise, she like the leather colognes like T&H Spanish Leather and similar. Other than that, I am still searching.

Proraso did ()

MG5 and Bravas, no worries

Mandom, she's not sure ( I told her it's her or Mandom)

Nivea is so neutral that it's ok...

I'm preparing for Pino Silvestre...

She likes Swiss Pitralon from day 1!

I had to get used to it myself but do like it now...

Musgo ASB passed the test already because it smells nice 'n' sweet!

[talibeard]

She loves Salvador Dali, really likes Old Spice and Irisch Moos and accepts Aqua Velva and Tabac.

The one that troubles her is the Pinaud Bay Rum so I only use it when she has a cold because than she likes that one too...
