There are many toiletries in Erika Kohut’s bathroom. In the screencap above, a can of Schwarzkopf Taft hairspray can be seen on the mirror shelf. This product is still on the market, with a different packaging.
A tube of Meridol toothpaste is on the mirror shelf, while a bottle of mouthwash from the same brand is on the shelf on the top right. There are Veet shaving cream and Lux bubble bath (in both cases, old packaging) by the tub.
There are two bottles of Revlon Jean Naté after-bath splash in Dorothea and Jamie’s bathroom.
Patrick Bateman’s bathroom cabinet is one of the best ever featured in the history of cinema. He’s a psychotic narcissist who spends a great deal of time and money to take care of his physical appearance. No wonder that the selection of perfumes and hair, skin and body products in his bathroom is very refined and luxurious.
On the middle shelf of his cabinet we can see the fragrances Caron Eaux de Caron Pure and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. The other products are L’Occitane Spray Coiffant (now discontinued), Phytoplage sun protection oil (old packaging) and Phyto Men Eau Vigoureuse body splash (now discontinued). The white jar – by L’Occitane – presumably contains a face cream or a mask.
On the bottom shelf there are three Phyto Men products and another fragrance – Pour un Homme by Caron.
On the top shelf there are two deodorants – Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. A bottle of Pour Lui eau de toilette can be seen on the far left side by of the screencap above.
We are also given access to Patrick’s shower, so we can see he uses Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme all-over shower gel and L’Occitane Eau de Contadour body and hair shower gel.
More L’Occitane products are in the shower: there’s a bottle of milk shower cream (old packaging) and two shampoos – Shampooing Eclat and Shampooing Nourissant (now discontinued).
Among the objects on Abigail dresser, there’s a bottle of Crabtree & Evely Summer Hill body lotion.
The frosted glass bottle with a swan on it is something special: the French brand Payot launched Pavlova in 1977 as a homage to the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who happened to be the main source of inspiration for Nadia Payot, founder of the brand. This woody/white floral fragrance was actually inspired to a 1922 perfume. No wonder that a swan decorates the bottle: Pavlova performed The Dying Swan, a solo choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to Camille Saint-Saëns’s Le Cygne almost 4,000 times. Furthermore, the ballerina owned a real swan, Jack, whom she loved dearly.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the perfume id.
Lucien Bourrache (Jean Gabin) is taking a bubble bath. Luxurious moment, since he’s surrounded by Guerlain products!
There are a bottle of talcum powder and two flacons montres by the tub. I wish I knew what colognes they contained, but some assumptions can be made. These bottles were introduced in the late 1930s, just one year before the film release, so they could contain Shalimar, Cachet Jaune or Mitsouko (all of them were launched in 1937).
Thanks to Despina Veneti for the id.
There’s a bottle of Calvin Klein Obsession on the dressing table in Clay’s mother’s bedroom. This oriental spicy fragrance was created by Jean Guichard and launched in 1985.
The white box under the glass counter is a product from the Chanel No. 5 body line: I couldn’t find any picture of it, but I guess it contained a jar, so it could be an after-bath powder, a body cream or even a set of soaps.
I haven’t watched Call Me by Your Name by Luca Guadagnino yet, but I’ve kept the best picture from the set for last. The author is – again – Giulio Ghirardi, who gave us the perfect shot of a dressing table, covered with some fabric from the Middle East.
Among the several perfume bottles, I’ve spotted Christian Dior Eau Sauvage, a 1966 creation by Edmond Roudnitska.
Next to it, there’s Acqua di Parma Colonia, the first fragrance of the Italian brand, created in 1916.
The blue tin unmistakably contains Nivea Creme, a product created in Germany but incredibly popular in Italy.
Another quintessentially Italian product is Roberts Acqua distillata alle rose, a toner first created in 1867.
Last but not least, there’s a bottle of Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt, a huge commercial success created by Sophia Grojsman in 1982. It’s impossible not to have a memory of it, if you were born in the 1970s/1980s: this white floral fragrance was everywhere!
Julie (Elle Fanning) works as sales assistant at a mall. In the screencap above, some bottles of Healing Waters bubble bath in Blue Gardenia can be seen.
In this Instagram picture from Taylor Sloane’s account there are a spray bottle of Jao refresher and a box containing Marvis Aquatic Mint toothpaste.
When I bumped into pictures from the set of Call Me By Your Name (2017) by Luca Guadagnino, I felt my id radar tingle, because I knew plenty of beauty products were waiting to be identified. The pictures, taken by the Italian photographer Giulio Ghirardi, beautifully portray the elegant interiors of the 17th-century Lombardy mansion where the film is set. The green-tiled bathroom [1] is filled with Italian drugstore products which bring me back to my childhood.
On the bathtub metal tray there’s a bottle of Antica Erboristeria shampoo.
From a different perspective we see there are other two shampoo bottles on the tray – Johnson’s Baby shampoo and Schultz chamomile shampoo.
On the glass shelf by the mirror there’s a bottle of Soluzione Schoum, a medication for urinary and biliary tract spasms. The jar with the blue cap is the pre-shave/after-shave cream Prep, with a delicious mentholated scent.
On the table by the door there’s a bottle of Roberts Borotalco talcum powder. The bottle made of dark glass is another Italian digestive tonic, Amaro Medicinale Giuliani.
[1] It’s nice to see the bathroom has Palladian floors, made with the ancient technique of using small pieces of marble or stones. Such a typically Italian floor style!
