When Angel (Indya Moore) goes to a perfume shop inside the Trump Tower for a job opportunity, a factice bottle of Chanel No. 5 can be seen in the background.

When the perfume counter is shown, some bottles of Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris are shown. It’s a historically inaccurate choice, because this perfume (created by of Olivier Cresp, Harry Fremont and Dora Baghriche) was launched in 2016, thirty-one years after 1987, when the show is set.
I wonder why the prop masters didn’t select the original Paris, the hugely popular YSL fragrance by Sophia Grojsman launched in 1983.

There’s an OPI red nail polish in the room where Emmanuelle (Claude Gajan Maull) puts her son Tito (Vince Galliot Cumant) to bed.



There’s a factice bottle of a Christian Dior perfume on the fridge Augusta Terzi keeps in her bathroom. The bow-topped front label is impossible to read, so I unfortunately don’t know what perfume it is.
Margo (Bette Davis) and Karen (Celeste Holm) are at the Stork Club in New York with their partners. Two boxes of Le Galion Sortilège can be seen on their table. This choice is extremely accurate because the French fragrance, created in 1937 by Paul Vacher, really was the trademark perfume of the NY nightclub.
The boxes are unfortunately left unopened, so we cannot see its content, but this would be it – the beautiful fluted bottle the perfume had in its original version.

It’s Christmas time in Eureka, and Margie (Kathy Baker) and Freddy host a party for family and friends. During the party, Margie retouches Helena’s make-up and puts some perfume on her.
It’s not a spray bottle, the one that Margie takes out of her mirrored cabinet, but a splash one. The opaque glass flowers decorating the stopper are quite unmistakable.
When the girl finally holds the bottle, the mystery is finally revealed: it’s Chloé.
This romantic white floral perfume is a creation of Betty Busse. It was launched in 1975 under the label Parfums Lagerfeld, because Karl Lagerfeld was at the helm of the brand as main designer from 1966 to 1983.

Zeke (William Baldwin) is at Carly’s party and he’s reading a magazine. On the back cover there’s an advert for Dior Miss Dior starring Heather Stewart-Whyte.

When agents M. J. Monahan and Reuben Goetz pay a visit to doctor Helen Hudson, the woman they’re protecting, we can get a look at her busy dressing table.
The first thing that has caught my attention is the perfume on the left – the 1980s classic Valentino. Created by Pierre Dinand and first launched in 1979, is a floral powerhouse. I still remember when my mother wore it: I was in heaven because it smelled amazing on her.
On the bottom left there’s Elizabeth Arden Lip Spa lipstick.

When the camera pans to M. J. (Holly Hunter), we can also see an Annick Goutal perfume (behind the blue box with red tassel) and a factice of Guerlain Shalimar in the background.
