Revlon Moon Drops Moisturizing Bath Oil 2 oz Splash Vintage 1960s

$205.00Price
Quantity

A beautiful survivor from Revlon's glamorous Moon Drops era, this vintage Moon Drops Moisturizing Bath Oil combines the lush floral-musk character associated with the Moon Drops fragrance family with the elegant, feminine presentation Revlon used during the period. The substantial clear glass bottle, rich golden-amber bath oil, white cap, and ornate oval front label create a wonderfully preserved vintage vanity piece. Particularly unusual is its promotional status: this generous 2-ounce bottle is specifically marked “SPECIAL OFFER NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL SALE,” distinguishing it from standard retail presentations.

Available today is this rare, vintage 1960s, never opened or used, long discontinued, guaranteed original and authentic (Inked Batch Number: 402; Reference Number: 36791), made in the USA, Moon Drops Moisturizing Bath Oil splash in a generous 2-ounce (60ml) size by Revlon Inc. This special promotional presentation was not intended for individual retail sale. All photos were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured. Dating & Authentication

The Moon Drops name predates the Moon Drops fragrance itself. Revlon had already developed Moon Drops skincare and bath products during the 1960s, with Moon Drops Moisturizing Bath Oil documented by 1964. The fragrance bearing the Moon Drops name was subsequently launched in 1970. This bottle's Revlon Inc. New York identification, Reference Number 36791, 2-fluid-ounce special-offer format, molded glass construction, white cap, period typography, and promotional labeling are consistent with vintage Revlon production. The inked 402 batch code is retained as an important identifying production mark. Condition

This bottle is in exceptional vintage condition and appears new, unused, and never opened. The clear glass bottle is free of noted chips or cracks, while the white cap, decorative front label, and reverse promotional labeling remain remarkably well preserved. The bath oil retains its rich golden-amber coloration and presents beautifully through the clear glass. The reverse specifically reads “SPECIAL OFFER NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL SALE.” No original outer packaging is included. Please review all photographs carefully, as they show the exact item being offered. Why This Item Stands Out

Unlike a conventional individually retailed Moon Drops bath oil, this generous 2-ounce item was produced as a special promotional offering. Period advertising confirms that Revlon used Moon Drops bath products as promotional premiums with qualifying purchases. Its condition makes the bottle especially desirable. Bath and body products were generally purchased to be used, and promotional bottles were even less likely to survive untouched. Finding an apparently unused example with its original contents, attractive labels, intact cap, and excellent glass is increasingly difficult. Collector's Notes

Moon Drops became one of Revlon's recognizable mid-century beauty names, encompassing skincare and bath preparations before expanding into a dedicated fragrance identity. Its elegant packaging and romantic presentation gave the Moon Drops line an unmistakably feminine identity. This example is particularly appealing because it documents the Moon Drops name in a promotional bath-oil format rather than the more familiar perfume presentation. Its special-offer status, substantial 2-ounce capacity, Reference Number 36791, inked Batch Number 402, original contents, white cap, and exceptional overall condition make it an attractive addition to a collection of vintage Revlon cosmetics, bath oils, promotional beauty products, or mid-century vanity pieces. Fragrance History:

1960s: Revlon expands the Moon Drops name across skincare and bath preparations.

1964: Moon Drops Moisturizing Bath Oil is documented as part of the Revlon product range.

Late 1960s: Moon Drops continues to appear in Revlon bath, skincare, and promotional beauty offerings.

1970: Revlon launches the Moon Drops fragrance, expanding the established Moon Drops name into a dedicated fragrance identity.

1970s: Moon Drops continues as a broader Revlon beauty and fragrance line encompassing scent, bath, and skincare products.

Later Years: The original Moon Drops bath-oil presentations are discontinued and become increasingly difficult to find, particularly in unused condition. Fragrance Notes

Originally launched as a fragrance in 1970, and as a bath product in 1964, Moon Drops is classified as a rich floral fragrance with warm woody, balsamic, and musky undertones. The composition opens with bergamot, gardenia, peach, and raspberry, followed by a lush floral heart of rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, carnation, orris, honey, and tuberose. The base is built around sandalwood, cedarwood, oakmoss, styrax, amber, benzoin, and musk, creating the full-bodied, romantic character associated with classic Revlon perfumery of the period.
