They had some pretty trippy TV commercials as I recall.

My college girlfriend used it in the late 1960s.

I loved it!

And, she yelled at me often for using HER shampoo!

I used it in the late 70’s. Sort of remember the smell, but more the shape of the bottle.

It was wonderful stuff. I think I found my last bottle somewhere about 12 years ago (might have been Vermont Country Store).

We had lots of interesting, natural-smelling fragrances back then. Now everything is synthetic and smells like fake fruit, coconut, etc. Even high-end perfumes are mostly ‘molecules’, not real perfume oils.

The cologne I use now attracts women like flies, unfortunately they look like flies too.

Strange you should ask. Just last week thinking of shampoos
once used and their fragrance. Herbal essence came to mind.
Haven’t seen this on the shelf in years. Loved the fragrance
just unable to grasp the memory. Like Yardley English Lavendar, to find it on the shelf is like finding gold.
To find a shampoo with wonderful fragrance is only short lived. Pantene had a great product and their fragrance experts
went south. AWFUL. Tossed the bottle. Feel HE must have done
the same for have not searched or seen this on the shelves in
years. Camay and Lifeboy fragrances always took me back to
my grandmother’s bath. Wonder if the fragrance today would do the same.

Yes! I used that as a teenager. Loved the smell.

That and the scent of Revlon Flex conditioner take me back.
