Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific was a popular fragrance shampoo[1] manufactured by the Andrew Jergens Company from 1976 through the late 1980s. The shampoo is noted for its unusually pungent floral scent that softened after rinsing and remained fragrant in the user's hair for an extended period of time.[2] The shampoo's unique aroma has been described as similar to a combination of chamomile, bubblegum and sage.[1]
While out of production in the United States since the late 1980s, the formula was licensed to Vibelle Manufacturing Corporation of Malabon, Philippines and is currently sold in the Philippines, where it is still popular.[3]
Pop culture references
editThe product's unusually long name was satirized 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 had been named "The Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific Arena."[4]
It was also mentioned in the season 4 Boy Meets World episode "Fishing for Virna"; when Shawn and his father Chet babysit Frankie's little brother Herman, the latter steals the Hunters' bottle of shampoo, for which he is later made to return it and apologize. After Herman does so, an astounded Chet exclaims "All the valuable things we have in this trailer, and you steal our shampoo?! What kind of weird little thief are you?".
In the 2004 episode of the comedy TV show Will & Grace, Will & Grace & Vince & Nadine (season 7, episode 7), Karen Walker mentions that she has bought Grace a bottle of Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific.[5]
