In the screencap above there’s a can of Chanel Antaeus shaving cream. Behind it there’s another Chanel product, which I think is an after-shave balm.
Taking Care of Business (1990)
The Intercine Project (1974)
Bert (Harry Andrews) is a masseur who is part of a business espionage ring: he gets information from his rich clients and passes it to Robert Elliot, the economist who runs the ring.
In the men’s club where he works there’s a very interesting bottle next to a small TV set: it’s a massive bottle of Hermès Calèche. This floral aldehyde fragrance was created by Guy Robert and launched in 1961.

The Intercine Project (1974)
Scientist David Baker (Michael Jayston) sneaks into the apartment of the Foreign Office official Alex Hellman (Ian Hendry) and replaces the diabetic Alex’s regular insulin supply with a stronger dose.
A bottle of Hermès Equipage takes centre stage: the camera lingers on it several times. This aromatic eau de toilette by Guy Robert was launched in 1970.
When Hellmann returns home and injects the lethal dose on insulin, the camera clearly shows another bottle in his bathroom.
It’s Victor Acqua di Selva, a classic fougère fragrance first launched in 1949.

The Intercine Project (1974)
Christina Larsson (Christiane Krüger) is watching the news on TV while sitting in front of her vanity. Two objects on it have captured my attention.
The first is the tall glass bottle on the right. The large disc stopper tells us it’s a fragrance by Weil, although the front label is impossible to read.
The square box on the left reveals its identity thanks to the umistakable wallpaper pattern on it: it’s Rochas Madame Rochas, a white floral fragrance by Guy Robert launched in 1960.

The Housemaid (2025)
There are bottles of Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom where Millie (Sydney Sweeney) is taking a shower.
Enola Holmes 2 (2022)
A piece of evidence that Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) uses to solve the mystery of Sarah Chapman’s disappearance is an object she notices in the house of the girl and at the theatre where she worked as a dancer.
It’s Leichner grease paint, shown above in the packaging it had in 1926.
Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1971)
A jar of Pond’s dry skin cream can be seen on the vanity of the protagonist (Shelley Winters).

L’Amour ouf (2024)
Young Jackie (Mallory Wanecque) finds some make-up items belonging to her mother. Among them, there’s a bottle of Guerlain Mad Eyes liquid eyeliner.
Altri cannibali (2021)
There are several hair styling products by Paul Mitchell at the hair salon where the protagonist gets his hair dyed.
In the screencap above we can see bottles of Awapuhi Moisture Mist hydrating spray.
There are bottles of Shampoo Three, which removes chlorine and impurities.
There’s a bottle of Wipe Out, too. This is a product that prevents and removes colour stains.
Last but not least, a can of L’Oreal Professionel Alpiane hairspray.
Stranger Things S05E02 (The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler)
In a season filled with chaos and violence, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono) is the only character who gives us a short moment of relax — nice music (ABBA’s Fernando is playing on the small stereo she keeps on the bathroom counter), a glass of white wine and a bubble bath.
On the same counter there’s a can of Aqua Net super-hold hairspray.
Half-hidden among other bottles, there’s a Guerlain flacon montre with a gold stopper. This is a historically accurate choice, because this specific bottle was introduced on the market in 1972. The front sticker is not visible, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance it contains.
The product she generously pours into her bath tub is Avon Bubble Bath in Soft Pink.
