‘I’ve waited years for this’ cry cleaning fans as 80s Zoflora scent finally returns to Home Bargains
A RETRO cleaning product has made a surprise return to shelves – and shoppers couldn’t be happier.
Zoflora has an army of devoted cleaning fanatics who have cupboards full of their products.
And die-hard customers will remember one of their heritage scents from the 80s which smells like a “fragrant paradise”.
Now they have the chance to get their hands on it again, as Flowershop has made a return to Home Bargains for a limited time.
Zoflora first created the floral fragrance over 40 years ago, and the nostalgic scent is a “comfort” to life-long Zoflora fans.
It has now been reimagined for 2025 by the cleaning giant’s expert perfumers to evoke the fragrance of a beautiful blooming bouquet.
The classic fragrance is bursting with crisp green top notes and a heart of freesia and peony, blended with a musky, watery base.
A nostalgic fan favourite, Flowershop celebrates flowers from bloom to stem while delivering long-lasting fragrance to any home.
Zoflora’s expert perfumer said: “Walking into a flower shop is like stepping into a fragrant paradise – it is one of my favourite smells.
“The air is filled with a mix of scents from various blooms, giving the perfect blend of green and floral notes.
“The Flowershop fragrance from Zoflora allows that wonderful scent to be transported into our homes.”
The returning scent is available as a multipurpose disinfectant cleaner for £1.99 and concentrated multipurpose disinfectant for £2.79.
And shoppers are already racing to their nearest stores to get their hands on it.
One gushed: “Can’t believe it, this scent brings back lots of memories for me. I need this, I hope I can find some.”
“I don’t think I’ve been constantly checking home bargains so much in my life”, cried a second.
A third insisted: “The best. Should never have taken this off the shelves.
“Remember my mum using this as a child. It’s my all time favourite and waited years for it to come back. Keep it on the shelves this time.”
“Absolute classic”, chimed in somebody else.
A fifth added: “My mum used to use it all time in the 80’s/90’s before it was popular.”
Meanwhile, a sixth echoed: “This was the one my mam used back in the day. Takes me back.”
SHOPPERS DIVIDED
But not everyone’s convinced by the reimagined scent, as they claim it’s “not the same”.
One person said: “So upset it smells nothing like the original flowershop. This was the best fragrance! Please, please bring back the original scent.”
“It’s not as strong smelling as it was”, sighed somebody else.
And a third agreed: “It doesn’t smell the same.”
Elsewhere, meet the Zoflora superfan who uses the cleaning brand every single day and can’t leave B&M or Home Bargains without buying a new bottle.
Dental receptionist Gemma, 40, said: “I’d call myself Zoflora’s biggest fan – I am absolutely obsessed.
“You can never have too much and I’m always keeping my eye out for new launches.
“Even my husband and two children know exactly how and where to use it around the house.
“The amount I spend on Zoflora varies from month to month, but right now, I’d say my collection is probably worth close to £200 – I have over 45 Zoflora products.”
