Portuguese FOZ VIDRO Deodorants.

I bought my first deodorant around late 1961 or early 1962...Not the massive selection you see today,but there were a few.My pick was the glass jar of Lander chlorophyll.I imagine what I had learned in school led me to the "chlorophyll" choice..The stuff was very moist,smelled great,but wasn't very effective,more of a "cologne cover-up"....Soon after I switched to Mennen stick which contained hexachlorophine,this stuff worked fabulous !...In the early 70's a baby in Europe died from the hexachlorophene in a baby talcum,it was banned at once,and it took Mennen several years to come up with something that approached the effectiveness of the old formula....So..recently I was searching for a source of Tabex Mentolado aftershave,and discovered Portugal is still cranking out glass cylinders of deodorant,just like in the 60's,and going back to the 1930's....Foz Cosmeticos de Portugal has a nice selection,I'd like to try some,anyone have a lead on where I could get some,and Tabex as well ???.

where did you buy it?

I didn't buy it,I want to buy it !!....

Those deodorants are still around locally in Portugal. They are one of my child memoryes.

xxxx How do they smell Manuel ??

Now you got me . have no idea how they smell, just have a visual memory from my chilhood, to see those cilinders laying around. If i would have to guess, i bet they have a mild smell. That stuff was pretty obicous on those times, then disappeared from the mainstream, and returned on the last years. Curiously the factory is near were i live.

Now that i looked close, I notice that you refere Lander. They were sold under that precise name, now i belive they don't use that name anymore, but, appart from that, the package remains identical.
