I was still a kid in the 70's, but I do remember of couple of commercials.
Does anyone remember the "Whatever it is I think I see, it winds up tootsie
roll for me". Also there was a commercial for some sort of perfume where
the lady was standing over a stove frying bacon singing "I can bring home
the bacon, fry it up in a pan and never forget that you are a man, because
I'm a woman ___________" the blank is the name of the perfume. It was
something like augela, what product was this?

Enjoli! Or however you spelled it. A very cowl neck sweater and A - line
skirt with high heeled boots sort of perfume....

"Oh yeah, it's gonna be an Aviance night..."

Hhahaha, my sister and I used to laugh our heads off at that ad, often
getting up and doing moock-seductive dances in the living room, complete
with twirling keychaing, swiveling hips, shaking bazoooms and other
suggestive movements. The perfume itself, was pretty cheezy- do they
still make it?

Nope, nope, nope. That went (woman singing) "Blah blah blah...'cause we're
gonna have an Aviance night!" then theres the guy going "Oh yeah, we're
gonna have an Aviance night!" Doo-Dooooo! The Enjoli commercial was
I can bring home the bacon! (ENJOLI!)
Fry it up in a pan! (ENJOLI!)
And never never never let you forget you're a man!
'Cause I'm a WOOOOMAAN! Enjoli!
And she had on one HAPPENIN' Quiana silk polyester dress!

I was recently at a friends house while she scrapped up things for a yard
sale. She had a box with a bottle of Aviance in it. I nearly died. Man, it
went alcohol-y after all these years. Smelled like Hell...but then it
probably did then, too. My "scent" in the 70's was Sweet Honesty by Avon.
If I smell that stuff...ZAP, I am right back at Douglas Byrd Senior High.
Ahh, the scent of Sweet Honesty mingling with the formadehyde of the dead
cats the Advanced Biology class was dissecting...
