Is there a toiletry you can no longer buy and miss?

After my shower this morning I suddenly thought of how in previous years I always used Cussons Imperial Leather talc, especially in hot weather. It left me feeling dry and fresh and had a delicate 'clean' perfume. Not sure why it was stopped being produced🤔 Is there something you miss from years ago?

Anybody remember Flex shampoo and conditioner?

I am another who lives the smell of Badedas bath gel. Haven't seen it in shops for a while.
I also remember from childhood being rubbed with camphorated oil in winter when coughs and colds were around.
Miss Anne French cleansing milk too. It left my face feeling fresh, unlike other products.

A little off the beaten track but I wonder if Aramis aftershave is still around? Now that was a REAL aphrodisiac for me back in the '70s. Ex husband wore it when we were courting and oooh, it was lovely! Well, it was to my youthful nose.grin

Pretty Feet - it was brilliant for removing dead skin.

And Je Reviens perfume. I’ve found something with the same name on Amazon, but it’s not quite the same. 🙁

Badedas bath gel is available in Home Bargains, of all places!
