Our entire staff is obsessed with the smell of Kevin Murphy hair products. There's nothing like them — herbal, sophisticated and masculine (but not too masculine). The Shimmer.Shine is a particular treasure. Its subtly sweet scent feels more like a high-end fragrance than a hair product. Plus, it hangs around all day, so people will continue to tell you that your hair smells good until you go home for the night.
Any child of the '70s or '80s will remember this floral gem. Our Editor-in-Chief has fond memories of receiving a bottle of it at an elementary school assembly, where all the girls learned about puberty and then got to take home a swag bag of goodies meant to usher them into womanhood. In other words, all the cool teenage girls smelled like this shampoo, and even fourth grade teachers knew it.
If you were a young kid (or a young parent) in the late '90s, maybe you remember this "tear-free" kid shampoo, which came in a colorful bottle shaped like fish? Yeah, the strawberry-scented one was the only thing I enjoyed about taking a bath.
Boy, oh boy was it a happy day when John Frieda brought back his Beach Blonde line, including this cult classic. This stuff smells like a tropical '90s paradise, full of piña coladas, sunscreen and platform sandals.
DryBar dry shampoo smells exactly like a DryBar salon — which, if you've never been to one, smells like powder rooms and slumber parties and champagne brunches and all things girly and happy. My boyfriend inexplicably thinks this smells like a hamster, but he's wrong. It's my all-time favorite dry shampoo for the scent alone.
