That old Pantene smell

Posted on 12:19 by Roger
So yesterday evening, I had a few free uninterrupted moments all to myself as I was driving back from a business meeting.  For those of you that have little ones, you know how precious those moments are.  They come very few and far between.

And what did I think about during this brief, stolen moment of solitude?

Well, of all things that I could contemplate on... like world peace, finding my next job, plans for the weekend... I did not think about anything like that.

Instead, I was fixated on wondering what ever happened to the smell of the original Pantene shampoo of the early 90's.  I loved that smell.

That smell transports me back to my long hair days in high school, being on the cross country team, and Eric Clapton's You Look Wonderful Tonight.  Holy smack... talk about dating myself.  But back to Pantene... everybody loved that smell.  And boyfriends went wild over it.  Having your hair smell like Pantene was right up there with wearing button fly jeans and going off campus for lunch.  It was cool.

Anyways, whatever happened to that lovely original Pantene fragrance? And why in the heck did Pantene change it?  I don't like the new smell... two sweet and unnaturally fruity for my tastes.

I wish they would bring back the original scent.  It would make a lot of people in their 30s and 40s very happy.

What do you say... should we petition Pantene to bring the original fragrance back for a bit?

And on a completely random, yet slightly related note, I leave you with this awesome commercial that Pantene did in Thailand a few years back.  Centered around a deaf girl who is determined to learn to play the violin against all odds, it is dramatic, powerful, and heartwarming.  One of my favorite commercials of all time.

Enjoy.
