Long-Lasting
In 1938 Cussons created a soap with that very regal scent, originally called "Imperial Russian leather". During the war years, when soap was rationed, Imperial Leather became very popular because of its reputation of lasting longer than regular soaps.

Soap Opera
During the 1950s, Cussons began a TV advertising campaign. It was the appearance of Cussons ads during airing of popular TV shows that led to the popularization of the term "soaps" to describe popular TV dramas.
