The Invite (2026)

Angela has a couple of interesting beauty products on a chest of drawers in her bedroom.

The black pump bottle is Rituals Precious Amber hand balm.

Right in front of it there’s a Chanel bottle. The front label is not visible, so it’s impossible to tell what it contains. Judging by the size and the position of the label on the bottle, though, it doesn’t look like No. 5, but Gardénia instead.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post.

The Invite (2026)

We get one first look at the bathroom in Angela and Joe’s apartment when Hawk (Edward Norton) asks to go there. He checks the content of the mirrored cabinet above the sink and some interesting products are revealed.

On the top shelf there’s a bottle of Glossier You, a floral powdery fragrance created by Dora Baghriche and Frank Voelkl, and launched in 2017.

When Angela (Olivia Wilde) opens the same cabinet, we can see its content in detail.

The yellow plastic bottle on the second shelf is Gold Bond medicated body powder.

On the same shelf there’s Native stick deodorant in Sea Salt & Cedar.

On the bottom shelf there are more Glossier products. From the left we can see a bottle of Perfecting skin tint.

There’s also a tube of Ultralip nourishing lip colour.

The aqua green jar with pale pink lid is After Baume daily moisture barrier recovery cream.

Last, the gold tube is Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme mascara.

Verity (2026)

A staple in sexy thrillers is the vanity scene. The vanity in question usually belongs to the target of the obsession of the killer or the villain. This film makes no exception: while living at the Crawfords’, Lowen (Dakota Johnson) goes through the beauty products of Verity, in a literal attempt at capturing her essence in order to take her place.

The white jar is a Valmont skincare product from the Prime line.

Right in front of the jar there’s a tube of Aesop Resurrection Aromatique hand balm.

The climax of the scene is Lowen smelling Verity’s fragrance of choice, which happens to be by Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle.

Upon a closer inspection, the bottle the protagonist is holding is Portrait of a Lady, a floral fragrance with spicy notes created by Dominique Ropion, launched in 2010 and named after the 1881 novel by Henry James.

Malice (1993)

There are several beauty items on a dresser in Tracy and Andy’s bedroom.

On the left we can see a small bottle of Lubriderm lotion and a tube of L’Oreal lipstick.

The camera moves and reveals more products, this time on the floor.

In the screencap above, L’Oreal Voluminous mascara is visible.

There’s also a cardboard talc shaker by Johnson and Johnson, but I haven’t been able to find any picture of it online.

Dead Ringers (1988)

Beverly Mantle (Jeremy Irons) is often shown in his bathroom. The scene in which he opens a mirrored cabinet gives us the chance to see what’s in it, besides medicines and medications.

On the second shelf from the top there’s a can of Barbasol shaving cream.

On the third shelf from the top there’s a Borsalino product. The eau de toilette and ancillary products are featured throughout the film. In this specific case, I can’t decide if it’s a small can of deodorant or of shaving cream.

On the bottom shelf there’s a jar of Noxzema greaseless and medicated skin cream.

Later in the film, the presence of Borsalino products gets more prominent.

In the screencap above we can see the eau de toilette. This chypre fragrance was launched in 1984.

There’s also a can of shaving cream.

This screencap has been discussed in fragrance forums since forever. The Borsalino bottle has always been identified as the eau de toilette, but I can finally say it’s not!

It’s a black glass bottle containing Borsalino shower gel. The bottle that holds the eau de toilette is brown and made of clear glass, so it is definitely not that one.

The Holiday (2006)

Among the skincare products that Amanda takes to England there is Chanel Précision Rectifiance Intense retexturizing line correcting fluid.

She loves Kiehl’s products: on the glass shelf we can see a tube of intensive treatment and moisturizer for dry or callused areas, a bottle of Creme de Corps body lotion and a cucumber bath and shower liquid body cleanser.

Behind the Kiehl’s products there’s a tube of Dermalogica Active Moist oil-free probiotic moisturizer.

La baie des anges (1963)

Jackie (Jeanne Moreau) has finally reached Monte Carlo, where she’s ready to take the local casino by storm. We’ve seen that a massive bottle of Weil Antilope sits on her bathroom shelf, but what’s on her vanity?

On the right side of the table there’s a tin can of Max Factor Primitif talc. This was an ancillary product of a chypre floral fragrance launched in 1956.  

There are several make-up items, too. Their packaging is quite basic, but among them I couldn’t miss another product by Max Factor – the Pan-Stik foundation.

Sinners (2025)

There are lots of products displayed on the shelves behind Lisa (Helena Hu), who helps at her parents’ drugstore.

The most recognisable one is the box of Mason Pearson hair brushes. This is a historically accurate choice: the hair brush was first created in the late 19th century, so it makes perfect sense that it was exported around the world (U.S.A. included) in the 1930s.
