Inspired by the whatever happened to Timotei thread I fancy getting a really lovely smelling shampoo (currently using Garnier coconut one) that doesn't have a designer price tag ...I'd love some ideas please

I love the Faith in Nature range, they all smell amazing and my hair loves them.

Who remembers these? Used them all the time in the 90s. I can still smell the smell

Aveda Cherry Almond smells like bakewells/Amaretto and is gorgeous.

This has recently been relaunched but without "Flex". I got two huge bottles of the shampoo and conditioner in Home Bargains for £2.99 each. I can't get enough of that scent!!

@TheFormidableMrsC - are you saying that the old 1970s/80s Flex smell is available again? It was addictive. I used to get people fighting to sit next to me, and boys lifting up my hair to smell it when I was a teenager. I'd love to buy a bottle.

It's gorgeous isn't it? Might have to buy a bottle of that too.

I’m a stylist in an Aveda salon so I get to smell the lovely scents all day! Perk of the job 😍

ShadyPaws · 10/09/2023 23:19

I got a brand called Yope in TK maxx and that was lovely
They had
Oat milk
Fresh grass - really realistic!
Oriental garden - very floral and "perfumey"

I'm wierd - I love T Gel because it's smells like old fashioned coal tar soap. Clean and fresh!

I use this one too!

GettingStuffed · 10/09/2023 23:22

I have a raspberry and vanilla solid shampoo that I bough from our local plastic free shop.

TheFormidableMrsC · 10/09/2023 23:52

@TotalOverhaul Yes it's exactly the same scent. It's just not called Flex anymore. It's divine!

Nottogetapenny · 11/09/2023 00:22

Aveda shampure, shampoo and conditioner smells amazing, i never buy anything else.

WetBandits · 11/09/2023 00:28

I use TIGI, usually the bright green or teal one. I dream of the shampoo I used in my teens though (red Herbal Essences), I can still smell it so vividly!

Currently using Redken Acidic Bonding Shampoo and Conditioner it’s smells lovely and is great but pricey lasts ages though.

Moroccanoil

My absolute favourite. It smells divine.

BeverleyMacker · 11/09/2023 10:32

Used to love KMS cleanse phree shampoo. It was orange and smelt like bubble gum. I hate it when they change formula 😭

Peachee · 11/09/2023 10:44

If money was no object - Moroccan oil (the official brand) however in the current climate I enjoy herbal essences the turquoise blue bottle. Smells lovely!

I don't think any shampoo will ever beat the gorgeous almond smell of 1980s Vidal Sassoon for me.

Oh yes marzipan head 😂

TheFormidableMrsC · 11/09/2023 12:33

@VanillaImpulse

Here it is. They also do a damaged hair version. £2.99 each in Home Bargains!

I remember these! I still have some spray on serum and it still smells the same (kept for nostalgia really!). I think it's got frankincense or something. Essential oils seemed to be quite popular at the time.
Then they reformulated it and put it in plastic bottles and it was shit, sales plummeted and then it was discontinued.
