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

Olay Everyday Sunshine - a moisturiser/SPF that gave a very gradual light tan. Used to be readily available, and not too £££.
I’ve recently found it online, but it’s a lot more expensive.

Ooh 4711.
My nan had that in a roller bottle and would put it on her wrists and face when it was hot out. smile

Nivea in shower moisturiser, it is about £50 now on amazon.
Sun moon and stars perfume.

You don’t see 4711 (eau de cologne ) so much now though I believe you can still get it. I used to love it when I was young.

I loved that talc -it smelt so nice.
My all time favourite shampoo was Polyherb .
It lathered up well and left my hair soft and fragrant.
When it was naturally dark it seemed to bring out the red tints .

You can still buy it if you want to pay the price 😂

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?
