Can any of you golden oldies remember the name of the bath cubes that you could buy in the late 1950s/early 60s? I seem to remember that the foil/paper they were in was a greenish colour and I think the name of the cubes began with the letter H. I can't see anything on the internet. :roll:

I've found them :clap: :clap: They are called In Love by Hartnell - Dressmaker and Perfumer - he being Sir Norman Hartnell, the fashion designer. So I'm not going doolally pip :crazy:

Thanks very much rockyfowler for replying. You were posh having bath salts, we had Sunlight Soap in the bath :lol: Good job we never used the blocks of carbolic soap that Dad was given for free from where he worked as a moulder.

My Aunt always used Hartnell "in love" talcum powder.
