After the post about things
from the 1960's-
I thought it would be fun to
show some of the things a lot of you
remembered from the 60s & 70s.
Many of you mentioned scents that you wore
or remembered.
That set me off on a scentsory sensory overload...
just the mere mention
of some of those scents
took me back to the moment
I related to that smell.
So-
Here we go!
Remember this?
Love's Lemon Fresh
DID you get FRESH with him?
I wore that and I wore
Love's Baby Soft.
I also loved
Sweet Honesty by Avon
Then, I went through a
FRUITY PERIOD.
My lemon favorite shampoo was this one~
LEMON UP
Why did we all want to smell like FRUIT?
It was SUCH a fresh scent, wasn't it?
This wasn't really a cologne either-
but I think a lot of us smelled like
Herbal Essence.
Guys used to tell me how good
MY PERFUME SMELLED...
lol...it was Herbal Essence.
By the way-you can buy it today
but it smells NOTHING like the original.
Or-
How about
Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific?
And don't forget the conditioner.
Tame Cream Rinse
was about the best we had back then.
And- to clean our faces
many of us used Noxema~
To soften our rough skin we used
JERGENS~
Back to the colognes....
Then there was a little heavier scent.
CHARLIE!
Remember the music that went with that?
People would always come up and
ask me what I was wearing when I wore this~
Yves St. Laurent - Rive Gauche
Oh- I think I might have thought I was
HEAVEN SENT
when I wore this!
Anyone remember
Sweet Earth Sandalwood
that came in solid form
along with a couple of other scents?
Oh! I loved that scent.
How about
Jovan's MUSK OIL?
My sweet roommate, Donna, wore
L'Aire Du Temps by Nina Ricci
Donna was gone way too soon.
She died of cancer at 36 years old.
Every time I smell that scent I miss her.
And then there was
Oh! de London
My friend, Ruthie, told me this was a
MAN MAGNET
when she was young!
TABU
Remember that, Ruth? I know you do!
Shhhh-it'll be our secret that you wore it
every time you left the house.
And...while I am thinking about
TABU TABOO subjects
I might, or might not, have dated
a man that wore
Amarmis.
He might, or might not,
have asked me to marry him...
He might, or might not
have sent us a brand new
camera for a wedding gift.
My Hero MIGHT HAVE lost it---
the camera that is.
Pretty sure that was on purpose
And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
What SCENTS SEND YOU
back to the 60's/70's?
What memories go along with them?
Please tell!
It'll be our secret!
Pinky swear~
