Brigitte Winkelmann is the BND officer who saves Martin Rauch from Libya by literally buying him. Now they are in Paris: she offers Martin to be a double agent, but he refuses. They’re also lovers and they fantasise about living together in East Germany.
In the bathroom of the Parisian flat they live in there are two interesting perfumes.
The first is the spicy-fruity Dolce Vita by Christian Dior, a creation by Pierre Bourdon and Maurice Roger. Too bad it was launched in 1994 (the show is set 8 years earlier!). I think the bottle was chosen simply as a decoration.
The other bottle is Safari by Ralph Lauren. Historically speaking, it’s another inaccuracy, because this perfume, created by Dominique Ropion, was launched on the market in 1990. Too recent to be sitting in a Parisian bathroom in the mid 1980s.
I spotted this too! I loved ‘Dolce Vita’ when it came out & it’s such a distinctive bottle that I paused the episode to check! Very strange to mess up when there are so many iconic fragrances of the 80’s!
Indeed. I wonder why they picked Dolce Vita and not Poison, which was really huge in the 1980s. Prop master mysteries, I guess 😉
