I've used it tonight and it doesn't quite smell the same but it still does have a hint of it.
Fancy getting emotional over a bottle of shampoo, I'm a right softie me.
I also remember the smell of Mums panstick makeup she used to use. Also Belair Hair Lacquer. She smelled of Coty L'Aimant and Tweed.
What smells takes you back and remind you of your Mum.

Mmmm, how wonderful, Summer.
Smells like those, along with fresh cut hay, are better than any concocted man-made perfumes any day.

Nivea cream reminds me of my Mum, she always had a pot on her dressing table - I still use it for smooth heels and elbows and get the scent when I open a new pot, the scent fades after it has been open a while.My Mum also used Oil of Ulay (Olay as it is now) and I do too. When she was in the nursing home for her final days one of the nurses often commented to me on how lovely my Mum's skin was.
