Nostalgia time- can anyone remember?

[TheSilentStars]

I'm talking about 1970s-1980s soap and talc style gift sets. This is driving me mad trying to remember...a particular brand, always around at Christmas...
It's not:
Woods of Windsor
Morny
Crabtree and Evelyn.

Any ideas on this vague conundrum of mine?

I've got a bottle of Kiku perfume. It was the last one my gran bought before she died in 1986

@ifancyagreencard

Anyone else remember Kiki talc? With the puffball applicator?

Yep, my older sister had it. I can still smell it, if I concentrate.

Sounds like Yardley! Did you get little balls of bath oil as well?

Flower Garden?

Oh! I think that could be it! I don't recall that fragrance but I think that's the packaging. I had a blue one I think. Off to Google! Thanks all! Will be scouring eBay and spending a fortune!

That's a beautiful memory. Keep it forever.

Lentheric? Purveyors of such fragrant offerings as Panache, Mystique and nan’s fave (apparently) Tweed.

I still wear Panache!

I can almost smell some of these ! Born in the early 70's and I still remember the excitement of getting my mum's cast off bottle of L'air du Temps with a couple of squirts left in it

Oh wow I’m both over invested in the answer and overwhelmed by memories of these Christmas sets

We didn’t have Boots in Ireland in the 80s and early 90s. I remember my family and some neighbours hired a coach to take us to Belfast where we ooohed and aaaahed over the exotic delights of Boots and Argos

I think the blue set might have been bluebell scented??

You have triggered a memory for me of a body wash product called ‘all over softly‘ ???? that came out in the 1980’s. In my memory the Advert had a girl having a bath outside in a barrel on a ranch. I think the bottle was shaped like a shell. It was so so creamy and bubbly when you used it with a sponge and it smelled gorgeous. Haven’t thought about that for years

From what I can gather they were available in honeysuckle (I had talc), rose, freesia, lily of the valley and sandalwood. Not found any blue ones yet though.

Bah! I stand corrected the blue one is forget-me-not,

Yes! Forget-me-not! (Ironically ) Brilliant, thank you!

I just so remember hanging my nose over these gift sets from about October onwards and really wanting them all!

Three wishes?
