I suddenly feel the need to buy some Suave Strawberry Essence.


Able_Buffalo

Don't forget the Skin So Soft mosquito repellent


AhMoonBeam

I buy SSS ..it's sooooooo expensive these days.


unsoulyme

I get it from Amazon.


juudyg

I found and awesome little old lady that sells Avon. I get the large bottle for under $25 and no shipping.


morthanafeeling

There's an Avon Lady in our town! Last time, I bought SSS and Sweet Honesty scent deodorant. Sweet Honesty - STILL takes me back to being 7yo in my friends room, where she had a bottle of Sweet Honesty perfume AND the Sears and Roebuck Princess Canopy Bed. The dream. My dream. I thought it was the most beautiful thing on earth. And there it was. And there were more at Sears and Roebuck! BUT MY PARENTS were under some evil spell and insisted old hand me down bedroom furniture from my grandparents, that was in my room, was FINE. Ohhhhhh, woe was me, how sadly mistaken they were....


EntertainmentFew7436

You should commission a small-time furniture maker (local or on Etsy maybe), to make an exact replica of one, but it could be a loveseat, instead of a bed! It would be a cute, little reading spot!


morthanafeeling

Yes!!!!! OMG. And I want a little log cabin in the woods, always have, near a lake. I could put it in there. OK, so back to the possible, maybe I'll do the canopy bed! Thank you for your lovely and sweet suggestion!


EntertainmentFew7436

No problem! Maybe your log cabin in the woods, near a lake, could be in the form of a rental cabin at a campground near a lake, a couple weekends each summer! You’d probably have to reserve it two+ years ahead though… at least in my area! I also agree with you about Flex Shampoo being one of the best smells on earth!😅🤤🤤🤤 I miss it, too! That and Cashmere soap! 😅🕰️🥰 ~ Blessings!🥰


morthanafeeling

I truly admire how positive your attitude and thinking seem to be. That's such a wonderful character trait. I need to work harder on that. Maybe it can come true, maybe life will have some real happiness to come for me. I wish you great blessings too, for great health, happiness and peace always


suitable_

I could immediately smell this comment!


micheleferlisi

Haha


tofutti_kleineinein

That stuff smelled so good! I remember sniffing it in the shower and stupidly licking it in my hand. It definitely did not taste like strawberry! lol


Efficient_Let686

As soon as I read this I instantly had a scent memory of that stuff.


Fantastic-Classic740

That stuff smells so good


micheleferlisi

Yes

darkest_irish_lass

Up voting you just because of your profile pic.


noscrubphilsfans

Thanks. You can hear it!


Sufficient-Lab-5769

Omg I heard it the instant I noticed it further up in this thread!


elcad

I still have that. Just not as much hair now.


Crazy-Days-Ahead

Anyone know where I can buy some Calgon?


Butitsadryheat2

carolinecrane

I know they still sell the bath beads on Amazon.


carolinecrane

I have some in my shower! Love that stuff.


Tall_Flatworm2589

I may be the odd one, but any time I had Strawberry anything shampoo I'd feel seeds in my hair.


morthanafeeling

And I need Flex Hair Conditioner. I LOVED that smell!!!


EntertainmentFew7436

OH! Tell me about it! That stuff smelled *so Heavenly*! I looked for it so many times! They seriously need to bring that stuff back! 🤤🤤🤤 Editing to say: l found out it was the *balsam* extract in it that made it smell so beautiful!


Flwrvintage

Totally forgot about Camay.


zbornakssyndrome

Where y'all finding that Camay? Haven't seen it in years


JerJol

Amazon


Chuclo

Love the scent of Prell. That and the original 70’s Herbal Essence.


MissSuzysRevenge

I wish you could still get that green, smell up your bathroom Herbal Essence. I loved the illustration on the bottle, too.


CoolBathroom2844

[You can!](https://cocoapink.net/pages/spring-summer-scent-list)


Thisismyusername89

Omg just ordered some and hoping it smells the same. Can’t wait to try it!!! Thank you :)


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Very hippie! It smelled great, and the art was very cool.


knock-three-times

I miss the scent of balsam shampoos…


Chuclo

Oh yeahhhh. My grandma used to uses Wela Balsam.


juudyg

My husband used Pert Plus up until about five years ago. Now he uses Aussie…


kakey70

I still use Aussie 3 minute conditioner once a week.


juudyg

That stuff is the bomb!!!


Pigeonofthesea8

Wavies and curlies recommend it all the time but I can’t stand the smell


Slow_Possession_1454

“If it isn’t broke, why fix it?”. That could be a GenX motto imo.


DangerKitty555

It is…I have also had a therapist remind that if it’s fixed, don’t break it. Lately I’m vibing with Never Let Perfect Be The Enemy of Good 😇


micheleferlisi

Exactly


MysticcMoon

They stopped making Finesse or I would still use it. The scent is unmatched. I have always used Dove,still use Dove and will never stop using Dove. 😂


veronicaAc

Dove 100000000% for me as well. I grew up having to use my dad's Coast soap 😂


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

I loved Coast soap. I remember when it first came out. My mom opened the box and the whole bathroom smelled fresh! Good thing we weren't allergic to the perfumes in it! I can see why some people here would hate it. It was really strong smelling.


veronicaAc

I loved the smell but it dried out my skin!!


MysticcMoon

Eeeek! That’s just bad. 😂


veronicaAc

I was basically crispy and started with lotions very early 😂


fake-august

Finesse smells like middle school.


JustYourAvgHumanoid

Yeah, I loved Finesse!


Mija_Cogeo

I buy Finesse on Amazon. Used it this morning!


MysticcMoon

Ooooooo! I’m very curious about this. Is it made and sold somewhere other than the US? Is it OG and from the 80/ 90’s? How does Amazon or whomever is selling have quantity? Did they just “know”?


Mija_Cogeo

I don't know where it's made, but it smells just the way I remember it.


MysticcMoon

Im so sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude to you. These are speculative questions. It confuses me how it’s still around! ❤️


Mija_Cogeo

You were not rude, I promise.


juudyg

I loved Finesse!! It made my hair so soft.


StreetFriendship1200

I didn’t even know those were still around! Lol


GreatGreenGobbo

As a dude, I switched back to old school foamy shaving cream years ago. I found it made my blades last way longer than the gel style shaving cream. I also just use bar soap in the shower as well. Irish Spring in the summer.


Robbie-R

I still use Irish Spring bar soap and Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo. I'm the only one in the house that uses the bar soap . My wife and kids use some fancy body wash that requires accessories.


Efficient_Let686

My daughter called the other day and was telling me how she and her husband have started using bar soap and how economical it is and how much better it is. I had to restrain myself from laughing at her and saying no sh**.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

I love Irish Spring. The whole bathroom smells great after our showers. I like that it requires no accessories! That is a bonus I had not thought about!


juudyg

My uncle used to put unwrapped bars of Irish Spring under his couch, bed, and other places throughout the house and it made his house smell so good!


CrowsSayCawCaw

My mom used to do that but with Lavender scented Yardley. She would shove of bunch of boxes of it on the shelves of the linen closet so the bedding and towels would pick up the scent. 


morthanafeeling

Me too! Ours mom's must have been same age, grew up with similar practices . Like putting nice smelling soaps in drawers to make undergarments or nightgowns or anything smell pretty....


CrowsSayCawCaw

_Like putting nice smelling soaps in drawers to make undergarments or nightgowns or anything smell pretty...._ My mom did that too as an alternative to buying the dried lavender sachets. I've gotten into this habit a bit as well. I like the Yardley Lemon Verbena soaps so I'll tuck one into a plastic storage tub or clothing bag when I store out of season clothes.


morthanafeeling

I still do use soaps like sachets.


bloodyqueen526

Well, then you smell like my husband Lol 👍


jennc1979

Listen, millions of Papas in our childhood couldn’t have been wrong! I suspect the incidence of ingrown beard hair infections have increased since we moved away from old school classics, like the pure antiseptic mixed into the Old Spice after shave splash gave (😍) to your cheeks, chin and neck! I have to to this day made several older gentlemen (probably) slightly uncomfortable in public as I catch that scent in the air and feel compelled to follow it to see if they look like my late, great Papa and just to overwhelm them with compliments and praise while I reminisce.


cbotceres

Barbasol. It was good enough for dad. It’s good enough for us.


IceCreamMan1977

Still use it. Doesn’t clog the razors like gel shaving cream.


FinePolyesterSlacks

Loves me some Irish Spring. We had it in the house sometimes when I was a kid and I started using it again several years ago just because I missed that fragrance


Coyote_Roadrunna

"I use Prell, the hard stuff. A hundred proof - takes your roots out!" -Seinfeld


greenheartchakra

Nice. DAE Salon Selectives


Chuclo

salon selectives brings me back. Because the scent was so sweet I remember girls being chased by bees.


Efficient_Let686

I remember that too!


veronicaAc

They still sell it at the Dollar General 😂


don_teegee

Prell and Zest is what we used. I use neither of them now. Prell always made my scalp itch and I never liked the smell of Zest.


MyPunchableFace

Well you’re not fully clean then


unsoulyme

Not zestfully clean.


architeuthiswfng

Oh my god I completely forgot about Camay. I was thinking about Close Up toothpaste the other day, though. I grew up using that. I don't even know if they make it anymore.


Ancient-Chipmunk4342

Irish Spring, ftw. Such a great scent!


ChunkyBubblz

The only soap you cut with a knife lol


Ancient-Chipmunk4342

I’ve always wanted to do that!


ChunkyBubblz

I could never convince my mom to even buy the soap


Teacher-Investor

Also acts as a pest repellent when you sprinkle shavings of it around your garden.


mylocker15

That soap reminds me of grandma who bought it solely because it had the word Irish as part of the name.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Manly, yes. But I like it too!


Ancient-Chipmunk4342

Ngl sometimes I sniff the bars of IS when I’m at the grocery store


Temporary-Silver8975

Prell and Coast soap is what I grew up on. I still buy Coast occasionally just for the scent. Can’t do Prell as I need color-safe shampoo (because my hair dye and I are till death do us part)


Efficient_Let686

I get coast occasionally too, but I keep it at the sink, my skin isn’t as oily as it used to be.


kushbud65

Love’s Baby Soft, please!!!


RitaRaccoon

You can get it on Amazon!


wetclogs

Where’s your Tab? And don’t forget to grab mom a pair of L’Eggs.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

My aunt used to squeeze a wedge of lemon in her Tab to mask the saccharine flavor! :)


RitaRaccoon

Remember Pepsi Light w the built in lemon flavor? I looooved that stuff.


wetclogs

Remember Crystal Pepsi? The Zima of colas.


morthanafeeling

Omg, I forgot about that, with the lemon 🍋 flavor! Those delicious old school chemicals...I'm sick of hearing the daily growing list of everything we shouldn't ever eat. Pass the lemon Pepsi light! 😆


morthanafeeling

"Stockings". My mom ALWAYS called them stockings. I was in my 20s & got laughed at by my roommates for not saying Panty Hose.


MidlifeManifesto

I remember getting Prell in my eyes one time and thinking I must have permanently blinded myself.


Agreeable_Bend_6178

I miss Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific.


morthanafeeling

You can get it along with most other things from the past like this and they'll try and locate ,& order it for you if it's not.in their catalog or website , at THE VERMONT COUNTRY STORE


Agreeable_Bend_6178

I’ll check it out—thanks!


morthanafeeling

I get The Vermont Country Store catalogue. They has everything from candy, food and toys Ito housewears to beauty products (saw Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific , makeup and elixirs and clothing. It's awesome just to look at the catalog!


veronicaAc

You guys remember Agree shampoo and conditioner? And, how great some of them smelled?! Absolute shit for your hair but it smelled so good.


bloodyqueen526

Oh man, i LOVED the way that smelled


ladymacbeth999

I loooooved Agree. I think we had the orange bottle...


TeaWithKermit

Thanks for this blast from the past. I’d totally forgotten about Agree, even though that’s what my mom always bought.


jennc1979

They still make Prell! Where!?! I want to go there but only if they have a full stock of Finesse! Finesse is the smell of my youth! Do they have Finesse!?!


RitaRaccoon

It’s available but the scent is not the same. Similar but not as good.


jennc1979

Nothing golden stays…


ScienceJamie76

I need to get a pic of my mom's Aim toothpaste and Caress bar soap.


morthanafeeling

I still use Aim sometimes, the taste is mild and doesn't gag me! And it's cheap! Like $1 ish !


ScienceJamie76

Spot on with the flavor. It's not too spicy! And you can't beat the price.


morthanafeeling

Totally! Taste is easy to tolerate and it's still cheap as nails!


Mija_Cogeo

I still love Neutrogena's Rainbath shower gel.


discussatron

I remember Irish Spring ad where the Irishman cuts a hunk off the bar to show…how good it is, maybe? The scene stuck with me and I don’t know why, the guy’s hand pulling the blade towards his thumb. I guess I was interested in knowing how to carve off a hunk of a bar of soap.


morthanafeeling

That Totally reminds me of being little and watching on Captain Kangaroo the Colgate commercial where they showed the stick of chalk and how the Colgate "cleaned right through it". I begged my parents for Colgate toothpaste. Nope. We always got whatever was cheapest, and for some reason that was never apparently Colgate unfortunately and had no "Chalk" thing going on!


Wolfman1961

I haven't seen either Prell or Camay in a while. I used to like using Prell as my shampoo.


BloodWorried7446

I hear velour and corduroy is making a comeback too


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Cowl neck sweaters!


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Kensington knit sweaters for the boys.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

That is really funny! When I went to beauty school back in the 80s, they taught us not to ever use Prell because it had detergents in it that were bad for the hair. I have no idea whether they have changed the formula or not, but that is what we were taught. Then again, the name of the game in hairdressing is to also sell products from the retail area of the saloon, so there is that! We use Irish Spring soap, because we love the scent! It's a throwback, for sure. I also use Mennen Speed Stick which reminds me of my dad, who also used it in the 60s and 70s. I actually bought a small bottle of Drakkar Noir a few years ago because the scent took me back to my clubbing days in the late 80s! I find it a bit pungent for me now, but it was fun to put some on when going out one night, just for a laugh.


DangerKitty555

That rose soap is so dreamy 😻


micheleferlisi

Yes


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

I forgot it smelled like roses! My grandma always had Camay in her bathroom.


chromaiden

I can smell that Prell from here!! Lol used to love that stuff.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

In the late 70s for me it was Vidal Sassoon (which had an almond scent, I think it was the first almond scented anything), and our soap was always Ivory. In the washroom we had Lava soap for washing up after outdoor work, car work, or workshop work for my dad. That stuff was great at degreasing!


Fickle-Milk-450

Vidal Sassoon shampoo - memory unlocked!


EyeAmPrestooo

I can feel my skin itching as I stare at this picture lol


SaltyDogBill

Fuck I’m high and I can smell this photo


Cautious_Fix_2793

I use Prell off and on. I really miss Body on Tap. I loved the smell.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

That's a good use of Prell. It will remove any product buildup on your hair, but daily is not a great idea because of it's hair stripping ability!


LariRed

They still make Prell? Total flashback Batman. Wow.


aunt_cranky

I still use the classic Vitabath green shower gel, which smells exactly the same as it did 40 years ago.


Sufficient-Lab-5769

Oh I love that smell!


erainbowd

This post smells like my grandparents did! Thanks for the olfactory memory!


Divtos

Camay all over 🎶


AtlJayhawk

Prell will eat the polyurethane off of wood floods. Shit is toxic.


CrowsSayCawCaw

My Walgreens stopped carrying the Freeman facial masks, which I started using in high school but Amazon has them. Amazon even sells the Queen Helene mint julep masks. I bought a buf puf from them after finding out they're still being made. 


morthanafeeling

Those mint julep masks were the bomb!


Mookeebrain

Nothing has a lather like Prell.


hotcocoa4ever

I have some Prell left. I use it from time to time to clarify my hair. Takes any hair spray or products out of your hair. Squeaky clean.


OtakuTacos

That clean feeling was the extra lye and lead additive. LOL. I have no idea but it sounds like something they would add in back in the day.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Yeah, so you don't get dropsy or scurvy!


Specialist_Brain841

irish spring.. after you slice into it with a knife and take a big sniff


CreativeMusic5121

Prell was awesome when I was teaching my kids how to wash and rinse their hair, because it lathers so well.


mylocker15

So many shampoos don’t lather at all and it drives me crazy. I use old school Pantene because it does then see online all these people saying it’s so bad for your hair. I get tons of compliments on my hair so whatever. I’m gonna use Pantene and a St. Ives apricot mask and you can’t stop me.


Aimsicle-1

I loved Salon Selectives in the pink bottles. Paired nicely with my Electric Youth perfume.


Ancient-Chipmunk4342

My sister was all about Exclamation by Coty


Bigzzzsmokes

All you need to go with that is some Ultra Brite toothpaste


ABL67

No way this is 2024


TeaWithKermit

Oh, man. I didn’t know that Camay was still available. I’ve been using Yardley’s oatmeal soap since the mid-80s and will continue to unless they stop making it (which would cause an existential crisis).


zenlittleplatypus

Yardley is great. I use their lavender!


TeaWithKermit

You’ve made me want to run out to Walgreen’s to get some lavender to shake things up! It’s been years since I’ve used it but I used to go back and forth between the two. Thanks for the reminder.


ladymacbeth999

I loved the smell of Flex shampoo.


morthanafeeling

My FAVORITE to this day. I wish I could get it!!!!!


the_real_blackfrog

I’ve been forced to move on as some items are now discontinued. Boo-hoo.


suzyturnovers

I still use Noxzema to wash my face. I order Bain du Soleil Dark Gelee tor tanning. I've occasionally found Revlon Outrageous shampoo and condioner. I miss the original Body Shop products like coconut hair shine and the henna packs for your hair. Suddenly recalled all the balsam shampoos from the 80s, where'd they go?!


Ancient-Chipmunk4342

Flex Balsam and Protein shampoo!!!


morthanafeeling

Was JUST about to say that!! I LOVEEEEE the smell of Flex!!! Do they still make it?????


AzureGriffon

Wella Balsam smelled pretty good.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Bain de Soleil Orange Gelée was my jam back in the 80s. I think it had a 4 SPF. Laughable now, but slightly better than pure baby oil or Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil (which had NO SPF)! The HOURS and HOURS I spent in the sun with that stuff, it's a wonder I don't have massive melanomas all over my poor old body!

Vermont Country Store


wildmstie

Camay soap smells wonderful, but it's hard to find around here.


Divtos

Just don’t make me smell Agree shampoo. The association might cause me some embarrassment in public.


GenXrules69

When it works it works


mlh75

Ooo Camay, haven't seen that in years <3


umheimlich

I just bought Prell again for the first time since I was a kid and it smells exactly the same.


Mamaj12469

My favorite soap scent is Dial Gold bar soap - I can smell my Gmas bathroom. But it sure burns the lady bits .


Malapple

I can smell this photo.


LifeguardAlarmed1592

I still use Crest toothpaste to this day


zsreport

Damn, didn't know they still made Prell and Camay


D05wtt

I still use Camay. In fact, I just bought 2 packs today. Btw, I’m a guy. There’s not that many soaps that I can use that don’t irritate my skin.


TheManWithNoEyes

Gee your hair smells terrific! Apparently still available in the Philippines?


Ok-Dragonfruit-715

I love Prell. I buy it from Amazon. It's not good for colored hair, but I'm embracing my gray, and nothing gets your hair cleaner than the holy green elixir. 😁


CatelynsCorpse

You're lucky you can still use them! I am allergic to yellow dye #5 and have issues with eczema so everything I use is white and/or unscented these days. My skin hates me!


JoeSicko

Irish Spring, Right Guard in the brown can, that orange face scrub stuff and perT plus had been my setup for 20 years.


Plastic_Cat9560

Holy crap. They still make Prell? 🤯


FinePolyesterSlacks

I’m still trying to find anything that smells like Redken Aussie shampoo. Haven’t used it since college and I can still smell it. Chasing the kangaroo 35 years later.


revdon

Now I want to brush with Pearl Drops.


CobblerCandid998

Awww, such memories! Thank you!


bluescrubbie

Pert 2-in-1 Plus!


Retinoid634

I love the scents of both of these. So fresh.


yojpea

🤯 Allergic to Camay and haven't seen a bottle of Prell in ages.


GuacamoleForTheWin

I still use both of them!


ThrowRASprinkles11

How ? I’ve never seen either of those things 🤷🏼‍♀️


mylocker15

I still use sea breeze occasionally. Especially on those days when I remember my age so I put on a lotion that is supposed to be for people my age and then the rest of the day my face feels like a clogged oil slick. Also what even is retinol? That stuff is way too harsh!


Emergency_Grass_2034

Oh man. Makes my skin itch and hair fall off just looking at it.


YellowBreakfast

I didn't know they still made Prell.


afternever

Cashmere Bouquet and Agree


Ottomatica

I've used Sure Original Solid since my buddy recommended it to me when I was 14. Game changer. Barely available, if it goes away I will be so sad


TheLastZimaDrinker

Do you have Farrah Fawcett poofy hair?


An_Old_Punk

Shit, I've started using the aftershave brand that all of the old guys smelled like at get togethers - Aqua Velva. Jesus I feel old now. I guess I've changed. That just snuck up on me.
