Vespertine is the name of the latest perfume created by Sebastian Fenix. It’s a fictional perfume, but there’s more to it. The yellow flower on the label is reminiscent of the datura flower in bloom. Not coincidentally, datura is a vespertine flower, meaning that it blooms in the evening. Furthermore, it’s a poisonous flowering plant, a nod to the shady perfumer who created the aforementioned fragrance.

Mute (2018)
The dressing table in Luba’s room at the brothel is pretty busy; among the make-up items, candles and toiletries, there’s a red perfume bottle by Maitre Perfumeur et Gantier.
The French brand has used this bottle for several fragrances [1], so it’s impossible to say which one actually sits on this table.
[1] Among the others, Secret Melange (created by Jean-Paul Millet Lage in 1988), Eau des Iles (created by Jean-Francois Laporte in 1988), Santal Noble (created by Laporte in 1988), Fraîche Badiane (created by Millet Lage in 1994), Grain de Plaisir (created by Laporte in 1998), Baime (created by Laporte in 2000) and Jeune Homme Extravagante (created by Millet Lage in 2011).
