WTF? I've mentioned before that I keep several different colognes on hand. I don't like wearing the same kind day after day. In my rotation, however, is this very cologne. There are three different colognes by the same name, BTW, but from the description, it's the same kind your wife doesn't like.
I've had this cologne in my rotation going back some 15+ years or so, and in fact, this is my second bottle. I've received a few compliments from women on it, so I would hardly call it a female repellant. Sounds more like just one guy's wife didn't care for it, that's all.
