We used Lifebuoy carbolic soap it was red, to wash yourselves with. The odd time it was the Fairy version. My aunt always had Cameo soap I thought her very posh. :mysmilie_17:
My Mum wore Coty La Mont(sp) or the poor woman's no5 as it was known also, Tweed. In her bag, she had little bottles of Pagan and a cream one called Styx. I liked the latter two. When I was older she still wore Tweed but Madam Rochas and Youth Dew.
My grandma always wore Tweed.
