Where has all the Vosene gone?

[LegalEagle-ish]

I wanted to go back to the shampoo of my childhood, the squeakily clean destroyer of dandruf, Vosene. But i have searched high and low to no avail.

So can anyone tell me, where has all the Vosene gone, long time passing, where has all the Vosene gone, long time ago?

Hey L-ish, apologies on this digression but did you ever get that job that you went for a few months back. Sorry, I've been a bit out of the EDF loop as i've been cracking the whip on the workers recently....

As for Vosene check out any one of those tardis-like 24/7 365 shops on Rye Lane, they'll probably have an original bottle from way back when. Alternatively try here. :)

All I can say is it still exists as there is some in our bathroom. I would have bought it I think but it may be a conditioner as opposed to a shampoo. However it not 20 years old so it must be available somewhere locally as that's where I would have got it.

Vosene, your hair "squeaked" clean by the stuff but get it in your eye....

Ohhh pain! plus you end up looking like a rabbit with mixamatosis.

[LegalEagle-ish]

Yes I got the job, i've been there just over 3 months. It's much better than where i was before.

Vosene is still sold because they have a website and everything. I remember how bad it stung when it got in your eyes, but i'd forgotten until you mentioned it Woof. I think i may have suppresed the pain of it all! My hair was always healthy and shiny tho, so might be worth the risk!

Disturbingly I read this as phosgene, talk about making your eyes water

You can buy it in Sainsbury's. Tis not the tiny little tear drop shaped bottle it used to be but still smells the same :)

I looked for it last night - couldn't find it tho. Will have to have another look.

Was in Boots in Peckham today - they have a full range: original medicated, something else and then children's stuff

All the Vosene your heart could desire

[jumpinjackflash]

you can buy it everywhere - I use it cos I love the smell!

[Huguenot]

Not sure I'm a great fan. Squeaky hair now means air-con fright night later.

You need a touch of natural oils etc. etc.

Vosene, reminds me of my mum giving us a good scrub .

Not very sexy though, or is it ?

[????]

I dunno, shapley green bottles

[RosieH]

Not any more Quids, they've gone and redesigned and I'm not sure I approve.

Thanks to louisiana, I now sing a bit this everytime I see this thread

[louisiana]

Whereas I sing this :-S

Blimey...I can hardly believe how P P & M look now...I always preferred The Kingston Trio's version anyway...

Struggling to wrestle this back on topic, I remember we had Loxene not Vosene....still horrible in the eyes though!

[louisiana]

Sorry SimonM. That audience does look as though it could do with some Vosene though!

OMG this thread brings back horrible memories, not only did we have Vosene and Loxene as a child, we had Wrights Coal Tar Soap. We must all have smelled disgusting :))
