    :eek: Just one more reason for me to be glad I'm not a guy!

    No, I don't want to start the old AV - anti AV war again, but I just made a discovery I'd like to share with you:

    The problems:
    1. Nobody really likes the scent of WH (generic)
    2. My wife hates AV "Musk"

    The solution for both problems:
    Blend 40% AV "Musk" with 60% WH. The WH smell is gone and the AV scent is toned down to a pleasant level. You'll end up with a AS treatment that is really great for your skin. Perfect!

    As always YMMV. If so, just start the fight again, just let me get out of your way first! :D

    So.....did this concoction obtain the wife's approval?

    She said "It's OK".
    What does this mean in female language? If I say it's OK then it really is OK, but with females, everything needs a certain degree of interpretation. Luckily we have some females on this forum. :D

    I'm listening, JoAnna ...

    Don't I know it.

    As for fragrances, I think "OK" means that its not bad.....but its not great.......just good (or tolerable?).

    Down the road, however, if it grows on her, it could be a 'great'

    "It's ok" means that she doesn't like it. :o

    Sorry.

    I guess I'll never understand this language. :(
    Thanks for the translation!

    You know I'm just giving you a hard time, right? :o

    "It's ok" could mean a couple things, depending on her tone when she said it.

    Of course I know, JoAnna! :D
    Have been lurking on this forum long enough! :cool:

    I did a new (blind) smell test for my wife today. Five AS, one of them my AV/WH blend, and one my brand new 4711 AS. She commented "I'm not sure about that" on the 4711, and "That's nice" on my AV/WH blend.

    Here we go! Her taste apparently depends on the context, day of the week, moon phase, or any other uncontrollable variable. What do I know?!? :confused:

    Ok, good. :o

    Context, yes. Women are not static. We like to change our minds, but I'm sure you already now that. ;)
