If I could bring back only one smell from the 70s it would have to be the original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo. Anyone who remembers it knows what I mean.
-
The smell of the mimeograhed test papers will always stay with me!
-
That picture of everybody in the classroom smelling the mimeograohed paper cracked me up. We all did it.
-
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the smell of the Shampoo “ GEE YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC!” “AGREE” Shampoo smelled really nice and so did “Jean Nate”
-
To me, the smell of Noxema means one thing—sunburn, usually a bad one…
-
Paste! Who here remembers the wonderful smell the white paste we used in kindergarten?✊😁 Or the smell of the old Fun with Dick and Jane books we used to learn to read with?
-
I’m so glad I was young in the 70’s.
-
Remember being allowed to go outside and play after a thunderstorm. The smell of fresh rain hitting hot pavement in the sweltering summer. That's when kids used to play outside and not stuck on video games!
-
Dolls on Christmas morning always had a distinctive smell.🎄 👧 🎁
-
The Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo smell from the 70's was incredible!
-
The Sears Christmas Wish Book! It would arrive on our doorstep in the winter - it always seemed to be on a day with fresh snow. You'd have to shake the snow off of it before you brought it in and it crackled when you opened it but it had a distinctive smell.
-
Who remembers Wind Song perfume? That was such a popular perfume back in the 70's. New Doll Smell was one of the best smells outside of New Car Smell! My older siblings had a Thingmaker. That was the coolest thing and definitely had a distinct smell. Sadly, I can't handle fragrances anymore (probably not helped due to all the toxic chemicals in things back then) but I can still enjoy the "memory scents".
-
I always remember the smell of the tiny little Avon lipstick testers, since my best friends mom was an Avon lady.
-
I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s, entering high school in 1978. There was NEVER a better time to be a kid and there is NOTHING I'd take in trade for the years of my youth. 😃
-
Oh the memories. If only I could time travel back to the 70’s and 80’s. I have never felt so strongly about that than now with the way things are today.
-
There was a shampoo called, "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" It smelled like strawberry's. It left your hair very soft and the smell hung around for the full day.
-
I can actually smell the scent of everything you talked about. It is crazy how our brain remembers things.
-
Loves Baby Soft and all of the Avon Fragrances ( Sweet Honesty, Candid) were classics that extended well into the 80's.
-
I thought of one that I think was missed: Ten-O-Six lotion. It was a brown liquid in a clear bottle and very astringent. The smell was unique
-
I always loved the smell of the inside of a brand new little golden book as a child. And was shocked to discover that freshly printed money has the same scent!
