There’s a bottle of Narciso Rodriguez For Her eau de toilette in Delphine’s bathroom.
This musky white floral fragrance was created by Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian, and was launched in 2003.

The Last Showgirl (2024)
Despite the constant off-focus quality that characterises most of the scenes set in the dressing room of the Razzle Dazzle revue show, some clearer shots give us the chance to see what products sit on the vanities of the showgirls. Not surprisingly, some of them are vintage items, a detail that reinforces the strong divide between past and present analysed in the film.
The white tin bottle is Nestlé Egyptian Henna neutral natural conditioner.
The round tin box is a classic – Max Factor theatrical face powder.
Later in the film we can see a can of Kenra volume hairspray (not a vintage product).
Coty Airspun loose face powder in the round cardboard box is another classic.

The fragrance that Shelly (Pamela Anderson) gives Eddie during their date is Stetson Original cologne, launched in 1981.

The beige jar sitting on the dressing table in front of Jodie (Kiernan Shipka) is by Yardley London. It’s a vintage item that usually housed face cream.
The Room Next Door (2024)
While Ingrid and Martha are frantically looking for Martha’s pills in her apartment, we have the chance to see some corners of her beautiful apartment. For example, one shot focuses on a colourful tin box which holds a bit of everything – stationery, sanitiser, candy and two interesting round containers.
One is Burt’s Bees lemon butter cuticle cream.
The other is Lush Rose Lollipop lip balm.
The tin box originally contained soft “torroncini” by the Italian brand Fiasconaro. This is a special edition designed by Dolce & Gabbana.
L’enfer (1994)
There are several interesting items in Paul and Nelly’s bathroom.
On the glass shelf below the mirror there’s a flacon bouchon coeur by Guerlain. Reading the front sticker is impossible, but the bottle could house Mitsouko, L’Heure Bleue or Fol Arôme, the three fragrances this ground glass flacon was designed for in 1910.
On the same shelf there’s a can of Elnett hairspray.
On the bath tub shelf there’s a bottle of L’Oreal Obao bubble bath.
Thanks to Cherry for submitting this post.
L’enfer (1994)
Several scenes set in Paul and Nelly’s bedroom reveal that the woman is a fragrance lover. On a dresser by the bathroom door we can see two Guerlain bottles.
One is the flacon chauve souris of Shalimar, a fragrance created by Jacques Guerlain and launched in 1925.
The other is a flacon bouchon coeur, possibly containing Mitsouko, L’Heure Bleue or Fol Arôme. The same bottle can be seen in the couple’s bathroom.
Other two fragrance bottles sit on Nelly’s vanity.
The bottle with white stopper on the left side of the vanity is Clarins Eau Dynamisante, an aromatic citrus fragrance created by Jacques Courtin-Clarins and launched in 1987.
Next to it there’s a bottle of Rochas Eau de Rochas, a citrus aromatic eau de toilette created by Nicolas Mamounas and launched in 1970.
Nelly’s passion for fragrances can be seen in the decor of the room, too: a poster of Le Galion Sortilège is displayed on the wall behind the vanity. This 1954 advert was created by the illustrator Claude Maurel.

The peach lipstick Nelly (Emmanuelle Béart) wears is from the Lipchrome collection by Ultima II.
La nuit où Laurier Gaudreault s’est réveillé E02 (La nuit où Mireille était reparue)
Whenever I watch a Xavier Dolan film, there’s one thing I am always certain of: I will spot a fragrance in it. Even if this is technically a TV show, the rule still applies because there’s a scene, set in Madeleine’s bedroom, where two fragrances make their appearance.
One is a Nina Ricci atomiser, used in the past to house several fragrances. There’s no way to know which one it contains, but it’s probably L’air du temps, previously mentioned in The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.
The jar topped with a dove is Avon Flight to Beauty moisturising cream.
Julien (Patrick Hivon) takes another bottle and smells it.
It’s Christian Dior Miss Dior eau de toilette. The bottle that houses this fragrance today is very similar to the original, but I want to believe Madeleine used the vintage version.
Thanks to Zah in the comments for the Avon id.
Mina Settembre S02E12 (Andare a vedere)
Titti (Valentina D’Agostino) is getting married. Her bachelorette party is a quiet night in with her best friends Mina (Serena Rossi) and Irene (Christiane Filangieri).
On a glass shelf in her old-fashioned bathroom there are two fragrances by Etro.
From the front label it’s possible to tell one of them is Etra, a warm spicy fragrance launched in 1999. The other one is impossible to identify because the label cannot be read.
