Here’s an article that the new trend in cologne is a “note” of baby powder.

New? Were these people not in drugstores in the late 1970’s ?  Who didn’t have a bottle of Love’s Baby Soft?

It could be found on the shelf just to the left of the liter of grandma’s favorite Jean Nate and between other popular perfumes of the day  - Lemon Up and Charlie.

It was on the shelf above Bonne Belle Lipsmackers, across from “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific!”, Body on Tap (there’s beer in it ..but don’t drink it!”) and Prell - (I used to be flat - but now I’m fluffy!).

I’m letting my true Gen X colors show. Anyone else have any Bicentennial era drugstore items to add to the above list?
