Thank you!**Ahhh..."the sheer luxury of having every inch of you soothed and sweetened with Cashmere Bouquet talcum powder..." What a delightful tag line! Does anyone use talcum powder anymore? I can remember my mom having talcum and me playing with it when I was a kid. I always felt so fancy when I would smack myself in the face with the powder puff just like they do in the Muppet Show. lol
Cashmere Bouquet is the name of an actual flower, also known as Rose Glory Bower, Mexicali Rose, or Mexican Hydrangea.
(Picture from Davis Wiki)Here's wishing you a day of sheer luxury!
I still use talcum powder after i shower/bath (apart from my legs which i moisturise) and i love that smell that just seems to hang around you!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a cashmere bouquet flower before, it certainly sounds very luxurious! xx
My mam swears by talc still, I know you can still get it in a few shops but it's dying out. Yardley still make and sell a load of it too. I don't use it myself, but they always do smell yum
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day Maggi!
ReplyDeleteIf baby talc counts then yes I nab some of Rubys after a bath :P I love the smell and like you it reminds me of my Mum who used it all the time :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day Maggi.

ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for evoking a wonderful memory for me.
ReplyDeleteThe first craft I really ever remember doing was when I was 13 and had come down with a horrible case of the chicken pox.
My grandmother, who had always had these lovely, bead and sequin-adorned bars of soap in her bathroom, thought it might be a nice idea for me to make some. So she bought me all the 'makins' to get started...plastic 'star' beads, sequins and pearl-drop- headed pins....the soap, you guessed it...Cashmere Bouquet!
Quite frankly, they were really gaudy in hindsight, but when I made them, I had created a work of art....now I long for those days once more...sans chicken pox!
Happy Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories - hadn't thought of Cashmere Bouquet in years.
I still use powder!
Cashmere Bouquet reminds me of my grandmom...she used it and I still remember the smell.
ReplyDeleteI still love powders. So pretty.
Oh wow...So glad you left a comment for the What is your fave thing giveaway..... I love your blog. Hope you have a fabulous Valentines day. Hugs,Amy
ReplyDeleteI'll have to ask some family to see if they use talcum powder. I've never bought or used it before, but I can see where it would be loads of fun to play around with!

LUSH has some great after bath dusting powders. I LOVE their Candy Fluff! Maybe because it has a little sparkle in it as well as smelling good. LOL!

Well guess what I bought today..
ReplyDeleteTALCUM POWDER!!! Club man's Talc to be precise. My Dad was a barber for 30 years and he always finished off his haircuts by dusting male patrons necks with some.
The smell and quality of Club man talc stuck with me and I've bought it for myself for the last 20 years.
You just may have inspired a great blog topic. Thanks sweets!!
Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely post
hugs June xxxxx
They still make Cashmere Bouquet talcum powder and soap and I use them both. I love the smell and it reminds me of my grandmother's bathroom.
