Aqua Manda was a fragrance that only seems to have been around in the 70's. It smelled of neroli (orange blossom) and had some swirly William Morris type design on the top of the stopper.

I loved Aqua Manda so much I used to sneak it from my mother & later she bought me Aqua Citra which was nice but not as fab as the original. I also used to wear Pagan & I used to spend my pocket money on Evette & Miners makeup - Ah memories...

I remember a perfume called Pagan, the ad used to say: 'Don't wear it if you're only bluffing', needless to say i wore it regularly lol.

My Nan used to work in the Amersham Goya works so we used to have it all the time.
This was in the seventies.
I remember seeing photographs of the girls on the line and there was my nan, in her fifties then, with her fashionably pointy glasses on and I think they wore hairnet and hats (?)
I remember Maryf's recollection of Zendiq too, I had forgotten that til now.
I adored the smell of the whole Aqua Manda range. If they did bring it back I think sales would rocket!
I would personally want to buy a lifetime's supply!
My late Nan was Molly Fountain, I wonder if MaryF knew her?
