OK here is the question.....Is there a shampoo that comes close to that on todays market?? I have tried some that I thought had (by sniffing the open bottle) a strong fragrance BUT after buying and trying I have always been dissapointed.
I understand that the "Gee.....Terrific" shampoo is still made and sold in some markets but some say it is not the same as the original.
So once again.......Do any of you know of a shampoo that can equal the above in strength of perfume?? One where the fragrance is still there the next day?? If someone can recommend one, I'd be willing to try.
Thanks!

I don't know about the commercial ones. I know you can make your own if you wish...with your own perfume. We used to do this a long, long, time ago...
Depending if the perfume is oil or alcohol based (look on the ingredients--if there is any ingredient in the first 3 ingredients with the suffix "ol" it is alcohol based.) If it is oil based (like those essences like strawberry, sandlewood, etc..)-mix about 1-2 drops with one drop of cooking oil (not scented or flavored cooking oil) and beat it into about 3 or 4 tablespoons of your shampoo with a whisk, or stir it really well. If it is alcohol based, note that it will not last as long as the oil and you will need to experiment a little more with adding just the 'right' amount to the shampoo.
Don't add too much oil-your shampoo may not be able to compensate for it. If your shampoo dissolves in the oil and washes away the fragrance, you may want to add it to the conditioner that you use instead.
