Anyone Else Miss This Shampoo?

Last week while at my hairdresser, we talked about this shampoo  The original Clarol Herbal Essence.  I used this in high school and I sure wish I had a bottle now.  I loved the scent.💕🌿🌱7BB65500-26CE-49A6-9618-DEBBD69A8CD1.jpeg

I used it in high school too, along with other popular products of the day.  Can't say that I actually miss it, I like what I'm using now, but there is that nostalgic feeling that comes with reminiscing about past products.  it did have a great scent.

Not really. I used to use Wella Balsam Herbal Shampoo. I do miss that!

@4kitties  - Yes, when I was a teen I used to accompany my mom to the grocery store, every time we passed through the shampoo aisle I would open up a bottle of this shampoo to get a whiff of it, loved the scent.   My mom always purchased Prell shampoo for the family.  The Herbal Essences shampoo today does not have the original scent, JMO.

Years ago I had a Yankee Candle "Greenhouse" that smelled exactly like that shampoo

What do you miss about it? Sounds like it's the fragrance.

I loved that shampoo! It was like a special treat every time I washed my hair. Yes I miss that fragrance.

 

There's a vendor on Etsy who is selling a perfume oil in the original scent. Reviews are very good, too. I think I might give it a try. About $10, free shippy. Etsy search:

I remember using Prell in High School.  I liked the fragrance.  Now it would probably strip the color out of my hair.

Vermont Country Store used to sell a knock off version that was great, but no longer. They still carry some "back in the day" shampoos. Lemon Up comes to mind

@4kitties Loved that shampoo.  Some things should be left alone -- they are perfect as is -- and never changed.  This is one.
