While John (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn (Sarah Pidgeon) are driving to an event, we can see she’s holding an aqua green compact.
It’s obviously a compact by Clinique, a brand which had selected this specific shade for their cosmetic packaging.

Lauren (Sydney Lemmon) is fixing Carolyn’s hair before attending a party. Carolyn (Sarah Pidgeon) is holding a MAC lipstick in an indistinct dark pink/brownish shade.
This lipstick was used as a prop, because the head make-up artist of the mini-series, Milagros Cerdeira, explained that another product — FACE Stockholm Cranberry Veil, described as “sheer cinnamon-red” — had been used on the actress throughout the series.

When Jackie (Naomi Watts) gets hospitalised, we can see her holding an Elizabeth Arden compact and a lipstick.
The lipstick in a neutral pink shade is by Revlon.

Carolyn is getting a manicure. The red nail polish they’re applying on her nails is by Essie. The exact shade used in the episode is Red-y for Bed, which didn’t exist in the 1990s. In the same way, the specific bottle seen in the episode didn’t exist back then.
I Am: Celine Dion (2024)
There are Chanel N°5 eau de cologne (boxed) and a spray can of L’Oreal Elnett hairspray in the dressing room of Celine Dion in the late 1980s.
Rocketman (2019)
Elton John’s dressing table is very busy, but some perfume bottles stand out.
The round bottle on the left is a factice of Worth Je Reviens eau de cologne.
Next to it, there’s a real (and I mean REAL) mystery. The black label reads “Vespertine”: this happens to be a fictional perfume which made its appearance in the 5th season of the British TV show Endeavour. This cross-over (a fictional perfume appearing in a motion picture which apparently has no relation with the primary source) is kind of crazy, right? “The prop master must have been the same,” was my first thought, but IMDb didn’t give me any evidence, so my question is still on: how did Fenix Vespertine end up on Elton John’s dressing table???
Season of the Witch (1972)
There’s a bottle of Speidel Bravura cologne in this bathroom cabinet. This musky fragrance was launched in 1967.

Hellraiser (1987)
There are some very interesting fragrances on Julia’s dressing table.
I had to crop the close-up shot of the table and adjust the lighting in order to show that the refillable atomiser on the left is green.
It’s Jean Couturier Coriandre, a 1973 chypre fragrance created by Jacqueline Couturier, Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Gerard Pelpel.
Next to it there’s a splash bottle of Chanel Cristalle eau de toilette, a citrus aromatic fragrance created by Henri Robert and launched in 1974.
There’s also Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs, a 1978 floral fragrance created by Roger Pellegrino, Robert Gonnon, Paul Leger and Raymond Chaillan.
A slight camera movement shows a fourth product: it’s Ungaro Diva, housed in a beautiful fluted spray bottle. This is a woody floral fragrance created by Jacques Polge and launched in 1983.
