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.

I've found them

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
Thanks very much rockyfowler for replying. You were posh having bath salts, we had Sunlight Soap in the bath

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.
