The second ad in this commercial break is for Vosene, Michael Jayston is doing the voiceover, does the tune sound at all familiar to anyone?https://youtu.be/Bo5m_p9arsk
Could be a library track specially selected for the advert.
Do they still make Vosene in its iconic green bottle? - cue Michael Jayston doing the voiceover in the advert.

i remember the three wishes soap we also used lux sometimes pears soap, and my mum would always wash our hair in vosene shampoo, it had a really strong smell ,like dettol . When she ran out of it , she would send us up the shop for a sachet of sunsilk shampoo.
I remember my mum putting her hair in curlers and getting out the setting lotion in a blue bottle. We also had omo washing powder , flash floor cleaner and remember vim !
Can anyone recall that ad for Vosene which said it was 'good for mums'? I've got a vague recollection of it.
Who remembers body shop novelty soaps? For a time no Christmas went by without me getting a selection from an aunt. Shaped like fruit and very scented but a bit small to be practical. I used to keep them for ages just to smell them.
I do! I loved them and had a huge collection of them
Also remember the various different bottles for Matey bath bubbles which sadly seem to have all but died out
I was in an old fashioned hardware store at the weekend, one of those that sells everything and they had Lifebuoy and carbolic soap. I had a niff of the Lifebuoy and didn't like it. It was strong and medicinal smelling but the red carbolic was as I remembered and I bought a bar. They also had green carbolic soap which didn't smell as strong. I'd never come across that before.
On Christmas day I used carbolic soap for the first time in many many years.
I think it was Lifebuoy, but i'm not sure.
The smell brought back so many memories.
That smell stayed with me for the rest of the day.

it was a different shape to the bottle below.
I've posted about this before but it seems to be lost in the depths of the DYR threads...
A shampoo I remember from the early 80's. A conical (?) bottle with indents for fingers (I'm sure a circular indent for thumb on one side then more on the other side for fingers. Solid plastic bottle, not transparent, definitely came in a green and pink version. The closest I can find is this 'body on tap' shampoo which also comes in a pink version but this isn't the bottle I remember. Does anybody know if this came in a different style of bottle?
