The Day of the Jackal (1973)

The drugstore the Jackal (Edward Fox) visits is full of interesting bottles.

On the wall right behind the main counter there’s a poster advertising Victor Acqua di Selva. A factice bottle of the same fragrance can be seen on the counter.

In the glass cabinet behind the counter there’s a Christian Dior houndstooth bottle. Impossible to tell what fragrance it contained.

On the counter on the right there are so many bottles! Among them, the beautiful fluted flacon of Lucien Lelong Gardenia.

Next to it, the heart-shaped bottle of Guerlain Chamade.

The camera angle changes and more bottles are revealed.

On a glass shelf there’s a spray bottle of Chanel No. 5 eau de parfum.

Next to Chamade there’s a Guerlain flacon montre, but the colourful disk on white background was replaced with an odd label that looks absolutely wrong. I wonder what the prop masters were thinking…

On a glass shelf there’s Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass dusting powder.

In the mirrored cabinet behind the Jackal there are some bottles of Chanel eau de cologne and Lanvin Eau Arpège.

If you’re wondering what hairdye the Jackal buys, wonder no more: it’s Clairol Loving Care.

  1. The houndstooth bottle of Christian Dior in The Day of the Jackal is Miss Dior. Not sure why you state, quote, “Impossible to tell what eau de cologne it contained.” It’s right there on the label, LOL!
