Fenwicks led me to discover Fenjal.
It was invented in the 60’s and was a firm favourite product during the 70’s.
A rich woman like Julie Spencer in the film The Fourth Victim would of probably had fenjal in her luxury on suite bathroom.
Used to fancy trying this in boots, but could never afford it.
Decided to try and purchase some for my blog, then I will review it.

Watching this advert affected my spa day and made me realise why this advert originally worked and is so good that it still sells the product today.
