Vintage Revlon “Experimental Project” commemorative Fragrance Apollo Soyuz EPAS. Made to celebrate the first joint Soviet-American space flight July 1975. The box has descriptions in both Russian and English. It reads that "this commemorative fragrance is a joint effort of Novaya Zarya Factory, Moscow: USSR and Revlon, Inc., New York, USA." The descriptive paper on the inside reads: "Experimental Project Apollo-Soyuz. A commemorative fragrance especially created to honor the first joint Soviet-American space flight July, 1975. The Dream of the Triumph of Twentieth Century Man in Space..... Inspired this beautiful contemporary fragrance.... Epas issued to honor the first joint flight o the spacecraft 'Soyuz' and 'Apollo'. The Dream Joint scientific exploration beyond the Earth's limits has long been a dream of nations throughout the world. Peace-loving peoples everywhere have hoped to share their knowledge for the study of space. This dream started to become a reality on May 24, 1972, when The Soviet Union and The United States signed the historic agreement on the joint Soviet-American space flight 1975. The Triumph In July 1975, the long months of joint training for cosmonauts and astronauts and the dedicated work of scientists and technicians ended in triumph. The Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft were launched and successfully joined together. On this historic occasion, the crews of the two countries worked together on scientific projects contributing to the peace and prosperity of all mankind...a unique partnership of men, countries, science and technology. To honor this achievement, the commemorative fragrance Epas (Experimental Project Apollo-Soyuz) was created. It is as spirited, and contemporary and exciting as the historic event that inspried it. And a beautiful way to remember it always." The reverse side of the paper reads the same thing in Russian.
