The title of this post is not 100% accurate: this 1983 portrait of Madonna was taken by Richard Corman in her brother’s Manhattan apartment. But I’m pretty sure the can of Aquanet Super-Hold hairspray was hers.

Half-hidden on a black tray in Natalia’s bedroom there’s a bottle of Ralph Lauren Blue, created by David Apel and Pierre Negrin and launched in 2005.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the large bottle with green stopper on the same tray, but no results. I know it looks like Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia, but I don’t think it is. Any ideas?
Thanks to the ever-helpful Fragrantica forum for the Ralph Lauren id.


There’s a box of Tonino Lamborghini Invincibile eau de toilette in Will’s bathroom. This fragrance was launched in 2018.

The green pump bottle on the left is Purell hand sanitizer (the front label has been removed).

The plastic bag in the background contains a discontinued product – Walgreens extended-angle floss picks.
Thanks to Emily for the screencap and ids.


When Johnny visits the woman in the window (Deborah MacLaren), we can see some beauty products on glass shelf. The brown spray bottle is Vidal Sassoon blow styling lotion. The bottle next to it looks like a talcum powder bottle; it reminds me of Crabtree & Evelyn old packaging, but not sure about it.


The floral bottle with silver stopper surely stirs some nostalgia: it’s the Cacharel best seller Anais Anais, a romantic white floral scent created in 1978 by Roger Pellegrino, Robert Gonnon, Paul Leger and Raymond Chaillan.


Emma (Debra Winger) has Johnson’s baby powder in her children’s bedroom.



Cebe (Linda Manz) applies her lipstick using a Germaine Monteil compact mirror.
Thanks to reveur_etc for the id and cedriceccentric for the compact picture.


Cabot Cove’s hairdresser Loretta (Ruth Roman) uses a small Mason Pearson brush to style Jessica’s hair.

Nora (Connie Gilchrist) gets a Guerlain flacon montre of Shalimar cologne as a Christmas present from Mame. Nora is very excited: the fragrance (described as “French-smelling”) will make her feel “like Theda Bara“, one of the most popular and sexiest femme fatales of silent cinema.

There’s Old Spice cologne on Walter Finch’s bathroom shelf.



The nail polish that Humbert (James Mason) applies on Lolita’s toe nails is by Cutex.
