Do You Remember ?

I just came across a product called Odorgo (ridiculously expensive) but it reminded me of that bottle we used to get in the Fifties, made of green or blue glass I seem to recall and it was used by removing the cap and raising up a tampon-like thing which then stood up and gave out an odour which was meant to kill unpleasant smells (and it was very effective). After use, push the "tampon" back inside the bottle and put the cap back on. But I'm damned if I can remember the name. Any takers ?

Wasn't it Airwick??
The name of the product you mentioned just remined me of something my mum used in the late 50's......Odorono, in my head it was always 'odour? ... oh no.'
I suppose that where the name did come from, it was a rool on deodorant.

I answered this but forgot to press answer now!

I remember it being in the toilet at the school dentist back in the day.

The "tampon" or thick, long piece of "wick" was soaked in the disinfectant and you would take off the cap and pull the wick up, and the smell was very strong.

I did say in my original post that I agree with ferlew that it was Airwick.

Must remember to now press answer now.
