Murder, She Wrote S02E05 (Sing a Song of Murder)

Emma McGill (Angela Lansbury) is a musical theatre actress who lives in London. She has a striking resemblance with her American cousin, Jessica Fletcher, whom she’s reunited in a complex plot of fake death.

The large plastic box on her dressing table is Chloé perfumed dusting powder. The lid of the box is decorated with the trademark calla lilies, famously featured in the eau de parfum bottle, too.

Several bath products can be seen in Eve’s bathroom.

The green bottle is Irish Spring body wash.

Then there’s Aveeno Positively Nourishing calming body wash.

Next, there’s a Redken product (a shampoo or hair conditioner in the old packaging).

The white jar with black cap is the ultra-protect body balm by Suki.

Last, a bottle of Live Clean coconut milk moisturizing body wash.

The Deuce S03E05 (You Only Get One)

yslopiumoriginal_bornunicornYves Saint Laurent Opium (oval box included) takes central stage. In 1985 (year in which this season is set) this perfume was basically everywhere, and it was impossible to escape. This creation by Jean Amic, Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Raymond Chaillan, launched in 1977, took the world of perfumery by storm: the original formula, opulent and spicy, was unlike any other perfume on the market.

avonimari_bornunicornThe dark red jar next to it is another Avon product – a body cream. My guess is that the fragrance is Imari, originally launched in 1985, characterised by dark red packaging.
