Lol....my first ever perfume was Evening in Paris and my second was Coty L'Aimant! Feeling very ancient as I remember everything on this thread! BC XX

Cologne in a stick which was always cold when you put it on. You were supposed to use it when you had a headache.
4711 cologne. Tangee lipstick, black in the tube, red when you put it on.

do you still use vosene? they altered the formula a year or so back is the new stuff much the same? or better......

OH! yes I remember the gibbs dentifrice tins..........AND LUX, the flakey stuff......

Ponds brought out a kind of gel to put on spots in the 60's. I had some because I think I had most people's spots for them in the sixties!

It was cold and I can still remember the smell which I liked.

Another thing that smelled good was a green liquid Mavala brought out to make your nails grow (yeh). Very expensive and you but a tiny spot on the end of each nail which did no good at all but it smelled delicious.
Mavaderma I believe it was called.

I remember Gibbs toothpowder,can taste it now.

Enyone remember Ponds Vanishing cream??

I was watching an old Rising Damp prog the other day,and noticed a bottle of Vosene shampoo on a shelf,I can smell that too,along with Palmolive soap.

Tracey,
I'm old too!! I well remember Gibbs in a tin - wasn't much else in the way of toothpaste in "those days" I also remember shampoo that came in a sachet as dry powder and you had to mix it with water before using. No matter what you did it always remained gritty!

I had a blue Ford Anglia too. The spring hanger came up through the back seat and, yes, I had to live that one down!

I have a Smart now,which has no back seat of course. It has been suggested that I have finally given up hope and accepted I am past it!

Living in fear of night starvation.

Don't think I've seen you yet honey.
Hope you're keeping well & Happy Christmas to you and yours.
