One Night in Miami… (2020)
There’s a bottle of Oil of Olay beauty lotion on Barbara Cooke’s dressing table.
Endeavour S09E01 (Prelude)
The lipstick that Morse finds in Margeaux’s bag is not from 1972 (year in which the story is set): it’s Matte Revolution by Charlotte Tilbury.
I know this is a historically inaccurate choice, but the beautiful fluted case of this lipstick has a certain vintage vibe that fits the episode.
Fishbowl Wives E01
A fictitious perfume – Gold Rose by Molinier – is central in the plot of the first episode.
We don’t know exactly what it smells like but it’s housed in a bottle reminiscent of Chanel Chance – same round shape and squared stopper.
The protagonist, former hair stylist Sakura, finds out her husband has been cheating on her with the fascinating Masako (Kyoko Hasegawa) when the woman reveals she’s wearing the same perfume – Molinier Gold Rose.
Poor Sakura (Ryôko Shinohara) in her posh bathroom, still unaware of what life has in store for her.
Triangle of Sadness (2022)
One of the most intriguing elements of the film is the opening scene, a model casting where we first meet Carl (Harris Dickinson). The boy shows the casting director his portfolio, which includes an advertising campaign for the (fictional) perfume Grande Ombre.
The black and white pictures remind me of the 2008 campaign for Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò starring Lars Burmeister shot by Peter Lindbergh.
The bottle of Grand Ombre, with the distinctive round stopper, reminds me of the bottle housing most of Courrèges fragrances. Shown above is the 2012 version of Empreinte, the first Courrèges fragrance launched in 1970.
In tune with the satirical tone and atmosphere of the movie, Carl will reunite with Grande Ombre: he will find a full bottle of the fragrance in a dump on the island where he’s stranded after the cruise ship he was sailing on sinks.
Beaches (1988)
Hillary (Barbara Hershey) and C. C. (Bette Midler) go out shopping. They stop at a make-up counter, where C.C. tries a L’Oreal lipstick.
The Strays (2023)
There’s a bottle of Eau de Rochas by Rochas on Neve’s dressing table. This citrus aromatic eau de toilette was created by Nicolas Mamounas and first launched in 1970.
Lasciarsi un giorno a Roma (2021)
There are only products by Sisley Paris on Zoe’s dressing table.
The tall bottle with black cap on the far left is Eau Efficace gentle make-up remover.
There are three bottles of Phyto-Teint Ultra Éclat liquid foundation.
There’s a tube of Le Phyto Rouge lipstick on the white ceramic tray on the left.
There are also two jars of Phyto-Poudre Libre loose powder.
There are two bottles of Phyto-Teint Expert liquid foundation.
The white tube with silver cap is Instant Éclat instant glow primer.
On the right side of the table there’s a pump bottle of Émulsion Écologique moisturiser.
Last, the tall bottle with white stopper is the grapefruit toning lotion.
In the middle of the table there are several Phyto-Lip Twist Mat lip colours in pencil form. Zoe (Marta Nieto) uses one of them later in the film.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
There’s a long sequence in the film where we’re taken into the bedrooms of Miles Bron’s guests and we get to see what’s in their luggage. In the case of Duke Cody, his bathroom and toiletries are shown.
There’s Herban Cowboy Dusk spray deodorant by the washbasin, along with a cosmetic bag, the content of which is revealed a few moments later.
The black tube next to the Viagra box is Le Labo shaving cream.
There’s also a tube of Raw Elements face and body natural sunscreen.
Between a bottle of Durex lube and another box of Viagra there’s Burt’s Bees unscented lip balm.
Last, two products by Every Man Jack – a tube of hydrating brushless shave cream and deodorant in Crimson Oak.
An Unmarried Woman (1978)
When Erica realises her husband has betrayed her, one of the first things she does is clearing their bathroom by getting rid of his toiletries. Among them, two fragrances.
The first is a Christian Dior classic – Eau Sauvage. The citrus aromatic fragrance was created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1966.
The second is another citrus aromatic fragrance – Chanel for Men cologne. Created by Henri Robert, it was launched in 1955 with different names – A Gentleman’s Cologne in United Kingdom, Chanel for Men in the United States and Pour Monsieur in France. In 1989 it was relaunched worldwide as Pour Monsieur.
