Arrested Development S01E18 (Justice Is Blind)
Tobias (David Cross) tries some perfumes in Maggie’s bathroom, among which an Annick Goutal one.
White Oleander (2002)
Clinique Different lipstick and Color Surge Butter Shine lipstick, Lancôme Rouge Superbe lipstick and face moisturizer can be seen in Claire’s bathroom.
There’s a bit of mystery around the soap. The Bee Shop produces the Queen Bee Gardener’s honey soap with calendula, which has the same shape of the soap seen in Claire’s bathroom. The hexagon shape is very common among soap makers, though.
The One That I Want (2014)
Chanel has just released a new commercial for Chanel no, 5, The One That I Want. Directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Gisele Bündchen, it features a love story, a fashion shooting session and a beautiful surfing opening sequence, plus a Grease-inspired soundtrack.
I’m disappointed by this highly anticipated commercial, because the atmosphere is ordinary (Bündchen is portrayed as a supermodel/mother, which is who she actually is) and the dreamy/wow factor is totally missing. This is a Luhrmann commercial, and we know he can do way better than this.
My favourite moment? The one which features the iconic perfume and a nude pink lipstick, of course.
The Crying Game (1992)
La femme Nikita (1990)
Christian Dior Fahrenheit and Guy Laroche Fidji perfumes, Christian Dior lipstick and compacts, Bourjois eyeshadow and blush pots on Nikita’s (Anne Parillaud) dressing table.
I think the nail polish bottles on the left are by Maybelline: I remember they had a similar packaging in the 1990s.
Amanda Plummer’s Dressing Table (1981)
A marbled jar of Erno Lazlo controlling face powder on Amanda Plummer’s dressing table in 1981, when the actress made her Broadway debut in Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey. The picture was taken by Rivka S. Katvan.
American Horror Story S04E01 (Monsters Among Us)
The unique tassel box of Caron Nuit de Noël can be seen on the dressing table of Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange).
The oriental floral fragrance, created by Ernest Daltroff and launched in 1922, is mentioned in Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh and was among Marilyn Monroe’s favourite scents.
American Horror Story S04E01 (Monsters Among Us)
Bette Tattler (Sarah Paulson) pretends to remember her mother’s murderer, scent included – Williams Aqua Velva after-shave.
Sons of Anarchy S05E08 (Ablation)
Tara (Maggie Siff) and Gemma (Katey Sagal) talk about Luann’s favourite perfume. Gemma’s description (“smelled like cum and patchouli”) makes me think of heady hippie scents from the 1970s.
