In the screencaps above two products are described in detail. One is Cle de Peau intensive eye contour cream, a luxurious product containing gold silk essence and Japanese pearl. The other is the Italian toothpaste Marvis in Whitening Mint.
Arlen has got a NARS blush on her messy dressing table. This hot pink shade is definitely Desire.
It’s interesting to notice how the compact mirror has been modified: a space for a sponge applicator – not present in NARS blushes on the market – has been created.
Adora Crellin (Patricia Clarkson) gets bandaged by her husband Alan after cutting her hand with rose thorns while gardening. Interesting objects can be seen on her vanity.
The perfume bottle with red stopper is a Lalique creation – Clairefontaine. The stopper reproduces lily of the valley stalks.
The blue bottle and jar with silver caps sitting in the middle of the table are La Prairie skincare products.
There’s another Lalique bottle: it’s Les Anemones, featuring a frosted double-flower stopper and long dauber stem.
Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) checks her make-up in a Chanel compact.
There’s a MAC pressed powder compact on Eva’s dresser.
There’s a jar of Pond’s cold cream on the table where Alice (Ellen Burstyn) is tweezing her eyebrows.
Alice (Ellen Burstyn) is a widow who wants to move back to her home town, Monterrey, by the end of the summer. On the way home, she tries to find a job and to earn some money. She wants to make an impression on potential employers, so she gets her hair styled and buys a new dress. The beauty products she uses reinforce the idea of a woman who wants to make an impression.
On a table of the motel room where she’s staying with her son Tommy (Alfred Lutter III), we can see some luxury items.
The black and red round bottles with gold stoppers are perfumed talcs by Lanvin, respectively Arpege and My Sin.
The tall glass bottle is the trademark container of Lucien Lelong fragrances. This one, with the black label, is for Opening Night cologne.
I was wondering why the movie prop masters selected these items for the character. She’s struggling with her current life situation, with a “very weird” kid and with money; for these reasons, Lanvin talcs (two of them!) and the Lelong perfume are likely to be symbols of a wealthier past.
The lotion Alice (Ellen Burstyn) puts on before going to bed is Vaseline Intensive Care for over-dry skin.
The same pump bottle can be seen again in the bathroom scene, when Alice shaves her legs.
There’s a beautiful selection of perfumes on Karen’s vanity. Among them (from left to right):
A Lubin fragrance: judging from the colour of the liquid in the bottle, it was probably Nuit de Longchamp (launched in 1934). Idole had the same bottle, but it was launched in 1962, one year after the release of the film.
There’s also Lancôme Magie: created in 1949 by Georges Lepieux, it has one of the most beautiful perfume bottles ever designed – a torsade by Georges Delhomme. The same design was used in 2005 for Hypnose.
We can see a bottle of Jean Patou Joy, one of the most famous white florals created by Henri Almeras in 1930. Not coincidentally, this was Vivien Leigh’s signature scent.
The tall bottle is Lucien Lelong Tailspin: also known as Passionement, it was created by Jean Carles in 1940. I’m not really sure of this id, though: this tall bottle was used for many Lelong scents, only the caps were different. In this case, the colourful cap was replaced by a glass stopper, so giving a certain identity to the bottle is quite hard.
There’s also a stunning Baccarat amphore bottle of Christian Dior Miss Dior, created by Paul Vacher and launched in 1947. As described by Yakimour, this bottle is made of cased crystal white cut to clear and has gilt details.
The bottle next to Miss Dior could be a Penhaligon’s perfume (the grey ribbon screams Blenheim Bouquet, in my opinion), but it’s just a guess.
There’s a Diptyque Freesia candle in Nick and Alyssa’s bookshelf.
