American Psycho (2000)
There are two fragrances on Courtney’s bedside table: the tall bottle with black stopper is Oscar by Oscar de la Renta, a white floral fragrance created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac in 1977; the round pink bottle is 1881 by Cerruti, created by Claire Cain in 1995.
The Cerruti perfume is historically inaccurate, because the film is set in 1987.
Molly’s Game (2017)
Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain) wears Expert Lip Colour lipstick by Kevyn Aucoin in a nude pink shade.
On her bathroom marble counter there are two Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks by Yves Saint Laurent, too.
Thanks to Lullaby Fitzgerald for the id.
FKA Twigs at the Mirror (2017)
The American artist published this picture on her Instagram account in November 2017. She was applying Clinique Chubby Stick cheek color balm in Amp’d Up Apple, but she was also holding a tube of Glossier Haloscope dew-effect highlighter in Topaz.
Lady Gaga’s Dressing Room (2013)
There’s a bottle of 909 Magic Spray (a conditioner and detangler for extensions) and a Moroccanoil flat iron on Lady Gaga’s dressing table. This picture was taken by Terry Richardson in 2013.
Ammore e Malavita (2017)
One of the criminals in the movie has got a very busy bathroom cabinet, filled with perfumes and colognes!
In the screencap above, he’s holding a bottle of Floid after shave with black pump atomiser. This brand was founded in the 1930s in Barcelona, and it’s still highly appreciated by fans of traditional shaving and skincare.
The only product I was able to identify in the packed cabinet is Pino Silvestre after shave, another classic men’s product, this time quintessentially Italian. Created by Lino Vidal and launched in 1955, it’s a fougère fragrance with fresh top notes. I remember I loved Pino Silvestre bath gel when I was a child: it was a staple in our shower.
American Psycho (2000)
Patrick Bateman’s bathroom cabinet is one of the best ever featured in the history of cinema. He’s a psychotic narcissist who spends a great deal of time and money to take care of his physical appearance. No wonder that the selection of perfumes and hair, skin and body products in his bathroom is very refined and luxurious.
On the middle shelf of his cabinet we can see the fragrances Caron Eaux de Caron Pure and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. The other products are L’Occitane Spray Coiffant (now discontinued), Phytoplage sun protection oil (old packaging) and Phyto Men Eau Vigoureuse body splash (now discontinued). The white jar – by L’Occitane – presumably contains a face cream or a mask.
On the bottom shelf there are three Phyto Men products and another fragrance – Pour un Homme by Caron.
On the top shelf there are two deodorants – Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. A bottle of Pour Lui eau de toilette can be seen on the far left side by of the screencap above.
We are also given access to Patrick’s shower, so we can see he uses Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme all-over shower gel and L’Occitane Eau de Contadour body and hair shower gel.
More L’Occitane products are in the shower: there’s a bottle of milk shower cream (old packaging) and two shampoos – Shampooing Eclat and Shampooing Nourissant (now discontinued).
Joey in My Vanity Mirror, NYC (1999)
This beautiful portrait by Nan Goldin was taken in 1999 in New York: Joey – a recurring subject in the photos by the American artist – was sitting at Goldin’s dressing table, her image reflected in a large round mirror.
Two are the perfume bottles sitting on the table: the one with the white stopper is Clarins Eau Dynamisante, the sublime citrusy fragrance created by Jacques Courtin-Clarins in 1987; the one with the black stopper is by Diptyque, in the tall splash bottle which contained fragrances like Vinaigre de Toilette. Unfortunately, the label in the photo is blurry, so I don’t know exactly what perfume this was. But the layout allows me to make some guesses. This could be L’Eau (the first Diptyque perfume, launched in 1968 and created by Desmond Knox-Leet) or L’Autre (launched in 1973 and created by Serge Kalouguine), two classic spicy scents by the French brand.
This Life (1996-1997)
One of the protagonists of this short-lived BBC television drama is Anna Forbes (Daniela Nardini), a lawyer who works in London. In this promotional picture, set in her bedroom, she’s putting red lipstick on while holding a mirror compact, which happens to be a Givenchy product.
Used as packaging for several make-up items (powder blush, Le Prisme face powder and powder eyeshadows), this glossy black compact had the brand logo (the four Gs) printed in gold on a green/blue/orange/hot pink backdrop.
Atomic Blonde (2017)
The “cologne from the West” Spyglass (Eddie Marsan) is given as after-shave lotion is Old Spice.
