ponds_dryskincream_bornunicornThere are several toiletries in Will’s bathroom: among them, an Avon bath oil and a Pond’s cream jar on the window sill. A couple of words on the Avon bottle: it’s impossible to know what Skin So Soft scented oil it contains, because the same bottle was used for different scents (Elusive, Bird of Paradise, To a Wild Rose and more).

Claws S01E01 (Tirana)

A bottle of Salvador Dalì parfum de toilette can be seen on Desna’s dresser. Now this is an unusual choice: this perfume, created in 1985 by Alberto Morillas, is a classic 1980s scent, not the first perfume that comes to my mind when I think of a flamboyant character like Desna. According to Fragrantica, it’s “very intensive and unusual thanks to the spicy-grassy top notes contrasting with the opulent floral perfume heart:” it sounds alluring, right?

The bottle, reproducing a woman’s mouth and nose (the cap), was designed by the Spanish artist.

Thanks to Jennifer for the lotion id.

Girls S06E09 (Goodbye Tour)

In Shoshanna’s bathroom there are Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo and two hair conditioners by Lush – American Cream and Happy Happy Joy Joy.

There are also Nature’s Gate jojoba and sacred lotus revitalizing shampoo and Yes to Grapefruit spot-correcting body creme.

Last but not least, a tube of Queen Helene Aloe Vera natural facial scrub.

guerlainparquetbox_bornunicornSeveral perfumes appear in the opening credits of the 2nd season. First of all, some bouchon coeur flacons by Guerlain and their parquet boxes, originally introduced in the early 1910s for MitsoukoFol Arôme and L’Heure Bleue. The perfume in the box is the dabber version, while the two sitting on the counter are spray bottles.

mrselfridge_s02e01_bornunicorn (1)The red-lined box contains three perfumes by Selfridges – Fumaria Bouquet, Selene and Adne. At the time, Selfridges sold their own perfumes, but I haven’t found any information about these, so I guess they are props. All the bottles have pump atomisers.
