A friendly ebayer sent me some information about the Royal Regiment line:
"Here is some that I know. Max Factor released Royal Regiment Leather in 1965 and produced it until about 1975. They eventually produced five fragrances, Leather, Dry Lime, Sandalwood, Wild Briar, and Oakmoss. It was presented in an amazing assortment of packaging. I'm always surprised when I see a new (to me) one. There seem to be different packaging in Europe than we had here in the States. The basic theme in America was military. There were at least five statues of guardsmen, there were drums, and cannon. There was Talc and soap, including one on a rope, and one in the shape of a life sized cannon ball, sliced into eight pieces. I have photos of all that I have collected. I have missed some great pieces, and I have found some better ones on ebay. Some have never been opened. Surprising how many after this amount of time. I began using the stuff in 1967 when I was going through Marine Security Guard School in Washington D.C."
In the 1970s, Max Factor released their "Aromatic Body Potions" line which was comprised of several different perfumed body oils, which could be mixed to create personal scent blends. I have listed all of those that I could find, if I missed one, please let me know.
