Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific

“Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific” was a popular shampoo in the 1970s manufactured by the Andrew Jergens Company.

The shampoo had a floral fragrance like a combination of chamomile, bubblegum and sage.

The formula was eventually sold to Vibelle Manufacturing Corporation of Malabon in the Philippines and is currently still sold in the Philippines.

The product’s unusually long name was satirised on The Simpsons. In one episode, Patty Bouvier waxes her upper lip using a product called “Gee, Your Lip Looks Hairless,” and in another episode, a sports venue on the show was named “The Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific Arena.”

The product is still available today, via the Vermont Country Store online.
