I realise this is tenuous and doesn't really belong on this thread but posting here for extra traffic.
There is a 300+ posts thread running on Chat at the moment in which the OP is asking us to remember the name/brand/variety of a shampoo that was sold in late 80s/early 90's.
We think it was Sunsilk/VO5, that kind of brand. It was a see through bottle and the shampoo was lilac/purple. The whole pont of the shampoo was that it made your hair smell great and have a lasting fragrance. The ads that ran in Just 17/ Jackie magazine for it showed a boy sniffing a girl's hair at a party. I seem to remember them being black and white line drawing/cartoon type ads, not colour photographic. Same sort of style as the ads used to be for Compound W, if that means anything to you.
So who has got a secret stash of Just 17's from that period and could have a whizz through.
Please put us out of our misery someone. What was it called?!!!
AIBU?

[quote secretbookcase]@DragonMamma. I remember thinking it smelled like an odd mixture of mashed bananas and wet ash. 
But at the same time I liked it and the boys loved it. I remember a boy coming to sit next to me and sniffing my hair 
and then a boy I fancied turfed him out of the seat and said, 'I want to sit next to Secret. She smells so good.' Then a girl came up to me and asked what shampoo I used. It was like being famous for 15 minutes. [/quote]
Oh my god, I can totally smell it from your description. You just ripped a scent from the vestiges of my mind.
