A: Agree shampoo was launched in the 70s when S.C. Johnson branched out beyond household cleaners to include personal grooming products. Tagged with the slogan, “Fight the Greasies,” Agree became one of the most popular shampoos at the time. Walter Landon, a legend in branding and product design, who helped to make Levi Strauss, FedEx, and myriad consumer goods, banking institutions and airlines household names, designed the bottle for S.C. Johnson. An original version of Landon’s iconic design is with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
Although Agree was discontinued, the good news for fans is that the shampoo and conditioner with the original scent are back as Agree Classic with a redesigned bottle. Pinnacle Brands Group offers them online through agreebrands.com. The shampoo and conditioner come in 32-ounce bottles and sell for $9.99 each.
Not surprisingly, nostalgic demand for the Agree fragrance has generated a few colognes sold on Etsy and other online sources. However, the reviews are mixed, and none claim that the scent exactly mimics the original Agree.
