A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018)
There are several toiletries on a bureau in Doug Kenney’s bedroom.
Among them, a jar of Vaseline and a bottle of Old Spice cologne. The tall green bottle could be Pinaud Clubman talc, but the front label is not shown, so I can’t tell.
There’s an interesting bottle with a red pegasus on the front. Believe it or not, it’s a Mobil Gas Station hand lotion, presumably from the 1940s/1950s.

American Crime Story S02E03 (A Random Killing)
The tragedy which struck the life of the Chicago businesswoman Marilyn Miglin (her husband, the tycoon Lee Miglin, was killed by Andrew Cunanan in 1997) is told in the third episode of the tv show. Marilyn, famous for Pheromone [1], thrived in the fragrance and skincare field, so much that the brand is still on the market.
The opening scene sees the protagonist (Judith Light) on television, selling her products. The key product is the aforementioned Pheromone, which appears all through the episode. Launched in 1978, it’s based on the concept of customised fragrance: it “reacts to your body’s chemistry, creating a highly distinguishable custom fragrance,” recites the brand website.
The same bottle appears twice, in scenes set in front of Marilyn’s vanity. Miniature bottles of Miglin fragrances – Pheromone, Jasmin and Musk – can be seen, too.
In the closing scene, set again at a television studio, other Miglin products appear.
The square box contains the Pheromone Allure gift set, which includes the Luxurious body moisture, a bottle of eau de parfum and a refillable purse spray.
We can also see another fragrance gift set, which includes Midnight (brown bottle), Pheromone (clear bottle), Pheromone Red (red bottle), Fo-Ti-Tieng (green bottle), Lace (white bottle) and Destiny (clear bottle).

Red Oaks S01E01 (Pilot)
Nash (Ennis Esmer) and other members of the Red Oaks Club staff are having an outdoor party. When asked what his blood tastes like to mosquitoes, he replies: “Cardamom and Drakkar Noir.”
No surprise he namedrops the perfume by Guy Laroche. Created by Pierre Wargnye in 1982, it was basically everywhere in the 1980s.

Stevie Nicks’ Dressing Table
I’ve been obsessed with this picture of Stevie Nicks in the late 1970s since I found it online. She’s sitting at a tiled dressing table, where there are three products which have immediately caught my attention. All of them are by Erno Laszlo: a bottle (among meds), a jar and a soap.
Impossible to say if the bottle contained a lotion, a toner or the Shake-It tinted treatment. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure the jar contained a face powder. But the same packaging was used for other products (including the famous Active pHelityl cream), so I could be wrong. The soap on the far right is Active Phelityl.
Last but not least, the brush next to the jar is by Mason Pearson.

Thanks to The Scentimentalist for the brush id and to Bunny Hoover for the soap id.
Gli amici di Milano (1963)
Franca Valeri is one of the most popular and talented Italian actresses. I’ve always loved her irony, her poised glamour and nonconformity. Imagine my delight when I found this clip from a 1963 tv documentary: the camera goes along the famous via Montenapoleone in Milan, and Franca (born in Milan) comments. The windows of a perfume shop are filmed, showing an array of Guerlain and Rochas perfumes.
Flacons montres and bouchon coeur flacons with their parquet boxes can be seen.
In the second window there are three versions of Rochas Madame Rochas: the Eau de Toilette (with the metal stopper), the Eau de Cologne (with the white plastic stopper) and the refillable atomiser.
