Gilberte Doinel (Claire Maurier) keeps a Carven fragrance on her dressing table.
The first sighting of the bottle happens at the beginning of the film, when her son Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) sits at her table.
It’s impossible to tell which one (the front label isn’t visible), but four were the Carven perfumes released before 1959 – Ma Griffe in 1946, Robe d’Un Soir in 1947, Chasse Gardée in 1950 and Vert et Blanc in 1958.
All these fragrances were housed in the same bottle.
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.

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.

There are bottles of Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom where Millie (Sydney Sweeney) is taking a shower.
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.
A jar of Pond’s dry skin cream can be seen on the vanity of the protagonist (Shelley Winters).

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.
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.
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.
There are two interesting bottles on Isabella’s vanity.
Both fragrances are by Prince Matchabelli. There’s no way to know exactly what the small crown bottle contained, because the same bottle housed several fragrances by the same brand.
The taller crown-topped bottle housed the Duchess of York eau de toilette, so maybe the other bottle contained the eau de parfum version. This white floral fragrance was launched in 1934.
In another scene other two fragrances join the Duchess of York tall bottle.
The one on the left is a fragrance by Charbert. It could be Breathless (launched in 1933), Grand Prix (launched in 1938) or Fabulous (launched in 1944), because all of them were housed in the same bottle.
The last bottle is Lucien Lelong Sirocco, a musky powdery fragrance launched in 1934.
