Graduation Day (1981)

2 Comments

There are many interesting fragrances on the vanity shown in the screencap above.

The first bottle on the left is Revlon Jontue, a floral green fragrance launched in 1976.

The bottle with the pink front label is Avon Sweet Honesty, a floral fragrance launched in 1973.

Next, there’s a bottle of Avon Unspoken, a woody floral fragrance launched in 1975.

The pink box on the right side of the vanity is Evyan White Shoulders gift set containing the eau de cologne version of the fragrance, scented body powder and powder puff.

There are two interesting products on Isabelle’s dresser.

One is Cacharel Anais Anais, even though just the box is visible. This floral fragrance, created by Roger Pellegrino, Robert Gonnon, Paul Leger and Raymond Chaillan, was launched in 1978 and gained huge popularity in the following decade.

The other is a Clinique classic – Dramatically Different moisturising lotion.

There are some interesting beauty items in Timothy and Victoria’s bathroom.

First, a Mason Pearson bristle and nylon hairbrush.

Second, a bottle of L’Occitane Immortelle Reset overnight oil-in-serum.

Third, a bottle of L’Occitane Aromachologie intensive repair enriched infused oil.

Although it’s not a beauty item, I’m in love with the vintage Louis Vuitton Astor Place shoulder bag in yellow Monogram Vernis. Victoria keeps her medicines in it.

Thanks to Ale for the L’Occitane Aromachologie id.

Someone’s Watching Me (1978)

Leave a comment

When we first see TV director Leigh Michael’s bathroom, we can notice some very famous fragrances on the marble counter.

From the left to the right there are:

A balloon bottle by Lucien Lelong. Impossible to tell what fragrance it contained, because the same bottle was used to house several fragrances.

The unmistakable blue, black and silver bottle belongs to Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Michel Hy and launched in 1971.

Another 1970s staple is Revlon Jean Naté after-bath splash in the distinctive tall bottle with black round stopper.

Last but not least, a legend from that decade – the hugely popular Charlie by Revlon. This white floral aldehyde fragrance was launched in 1973.

Later in the film, we can see a different selection of fragrances on the counter. The Lelong balloon bottle and Charlie are gone, but Jean Naté and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche (two bottles of it!) are still there.

The jar sitting on the same counter is a Max Factor skincare product – Moisture Essence night cream.

Alessandro Del Piero (1990s)

Leave a comment

This famous black and white portrait of Italian football player Alessandro Del Piero was taken in the late 1990s by photographer Gianni Giansanti. There’s an extensive selection of fragrances on the shelf of his bathroom – some of them are Italian products now discontinued but very popular when the photo was taken, others are still on the market.

Starting from the left, I can see Chopard Casmir – the body lotion and the eau de parfum. This vanilla fragrance was created by Michel Almairac and launched in 1992.

Next, there’s a huge factice bottle of Henry Cotton’s In Green eau de toilette, launched in 1989.

There’s also a bottle of Davidoff GoodLife, an aromatic fougère fragrance created by Pierre Bourdon and launched in 1998.

Les Copains L’Homme eau de toilette is another Italian fragrance. It was launched in 1998.

There’s also the iconic torso bottle of Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male, created by Francis Kurkdjian and launched in 1995.

The round bottle with silver stopper is Bvlgari Black, a woody fragrance by Annick Menardo launched in 1998.

The second torso bottle is Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male Tonique Cologne.

The bottle next to it is not a fragrance but a skincare product – Guerlain Issima Aquasérum.

On the far right end of the shelf there’s Calvin Klein Obsession For Men eau de toilette, a warm spicy fragrance by Robert Slattery launched in 1986.

Other two products can be seen by the washbasin.

One is Theramed toothpaste and mothwash.

The pump bottle contains Palmolive liquid soap.
