Gary Franad Ltd. Franad 105 Perfumed Bath Oil 2 oz Splash Vintage 1960s

A wonderfully scarce survivor from the mid-century era of American bath and fragrance products, this original Franad 105 Perfumed Bath Oil preserves the elegant presentation associated with luxury toiletries of the 1960s. The clear rectangular glass bottle, elongated gold-tone cap, and matching gold foil labels create a sophisticated vanity display piece that stands apart from the Franad 105 cologne bottles more commonly encountered today.

Available for immediate purchase is this elegant, 1960s vintage, made in the USA, guaranteed original and authentic Franad 105 Perfumed Bath Oil in the generous 2 fl. oz. (approximately 60ml) size, distributed by Gary Farn Ltd. of Stamford, Connecticut. (Pre-UPC.) All photographs were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured.

Franad 105 Perfumed Bath Oil may be added sparingly to bath water. Highly concentrated scented bath oils of this era were also traditionally applied lightly to the pulse points and worn as personal fragrance. A little goes a long way.

Condition

This clear rectangular glass bottle remains in excellent vintage condition. The original gold-tone screw-top cap retains an attractive finish with only very light tarnishing consistent with age. Both original gold foil labels remain completely intact and fully legible with only minor age-related wear. The contents retain a rich amber color and the fragrance remains beautifully aromatic. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and accurately represent the exact item you will receive.

Fragrance History

1960s: Produced during the 1960s, Franad 105 Perfumed Bath Oil was distributed by Gary Farn Ltd. of Stamford, Connecticut. Its pre-UPC packaging, simple ingredient declaration, and elegant gold foil labeling are characteristic of upscale American bath products from the period.

1960s-1970s: Highly fragranced bath oils became popular as luxurious dual-purpose products that could be enjoyed in the bath or worn sparingly as perfume at the pulse points.

Today: Franad 105 has long been discontinued. Original bath oil bottles are encountered far less frequently than the companion cologne, making well-preserved examples increasingly desirable among collectors of vintage American fragrance.

Fragrance Profile

No official fragrance notes have been located for Franad 105, and Gary Farn Ltd. appears not to have published a fragrance pyramid for this perfume. The preserved fragrance presents as a rich, classic vintage composition with excellent depth and character. As with all vintage fragrances, the scent has naturally matured over time and may differ slightly from its original release.

Why Collectors Love It

This is the more elusive Perfumed Bath Oil version of Franad 105 rather than the standard cologne. The elegant clear glass bottle, original gold foil labels, substantial 2-ounce size, and pre-UPC presentation make it a wonderful display piece as well as an increasingly scarce example of mid-century American perfumery.
