Triangle of Sadness (2022)

Leave a comment

One of the most intriguing elements of the film is the opening scene, a model casting where we first meet Carl (Harris Dickinson). The boy shows the casting director his portfolio, which includes an advertising campaign for the (fictional) perfume Grande Ombre.

The black and white pictures remind me of the 2008 campaign for Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò starring Lars Burmeister shot by Peter Lindbergh.

The bottle of Grand Ombre, with the distinctive round stopper, reminds me of the bottle housing most of Courrèges fragrances. Shown above is the 2012 version of Empreinte, the first Courrèges fragrance launched in 1970.

In tune with the satirical tone and atmosphere of the movie, Carl will reunite with Grande Ombre: he will find a full bottle of the fragrance in a dump on the island where he’s stranded after the cruise ship he was sailing on sinks.

An Unmarried Woman (1978)

Leave a comment

When Erica realises her husband has betrayed her, one of the first things she does is clearing their bathroom by getting rid of his toiletries. Among them, two fragrances.

The first is a Christian Dior classic – Eau Sauvage. The citrus aromatic fragrance was created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1966.

The second is another citrus aromatic fragrance – Chanel for Men cologne. Created by Henri Robert, it was launched in 1955 with different names – A Gentleman’s Cologne in United Kingdom, Chanel for Men in the United States and Pour Monsieur in France. In 1989 it was relaunched worldwide as Pour Monsieur.

Sage femme (2017)

2 Comments

Béatrice (Catherine Deneuve) has a very interesting selection of fragrances and beauty products on her bathroom glass shelf.

On the far left there’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5 without stopper. This doesn’t come as a surprise: the French actress was the testimonial of the iconic fragrance in the 1970s.

Moving to the right, we can see a bottle of Chanel red nail polish.

There’s also a Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in its beautiful glossy black case with golden details.

Chanel No. 5 appears in its eau de cologne vintage version, too.

The purple spray bottle contains Sothys Elixir Nourissant Corps nourishing body elixir in Fleur de cerisier et Lotus.

Béatrice doesn’t use Chanel make-up and fragrances only: the white jar with black cap is from the Précision skincare line.

The tall bottle with glossy cap is Dior Diorskin liquid foundation.

Last but not least, on the far right we find Sothys Lotion Vitalité cleansing lotion for normal to combination skin.

Holy Spider (2022)

Somayeh (Alice Rahimi) tries a skin cream she finds in the bathroom of one of her clients.

On a shelf by the window there’s a bottle of Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme, a floral fruity fragrance created by Calice Becker and Natalie Gracia-Cetto and launched in 2017. The blue jar with gold cap it sits on could be part of the bodycare line of the Versace perfume.

On the same shelf there’s another perfume from an Italian brand: it’s Florence by Roberto Cavalli, a floral fragrance launched in 2017 and created by Marie Salamagne.

Thanks to signorina_misteriosa11 for the Cavalli id.

Right after meeting his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) at her workplace, the Nakatomi Corporation in Los Angeles, NYPD detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) freshens up in an office bathroom. It’s nice to see there are two interesting fragrances by the washbasin.

There’s a huge splash bottle of Givenchy Gentleman eau de toilette, a 1974 fragrance created by Paul Lèger.

There’s also a regular bottle of Giorgio Beverly Hills Pour Homme, launched in 1984.

Bones and All (2022)

There’s a small glass bottle of Oil of Olay beauty lotion on the dressing table in the house of one of Sully’s victims.

The pineapple-shaped bottle is Avon Pineapple Petite. It’s impossible to tell what fragrance it contains because the American brand has often used the same bottle to house different scents.

Other two Avon products are on the dressing table, too: they are Lemon Velvet and Lily of the Valley cream sachet jars.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to Kelly in the comments for the Avon cream sachet id.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (2010)

Leave a comment

When Alex (Guy Pearce) opens his bathroom cabinet, we can see several beauty products.

A bottle of Redken Align 12 straightening lotion can be seen on the top shelf.

Redken Ringlet 07 curl-perfecting lotion for medium hair can be seen on the second shelf.

The blue tube on the same shelf is definitely a Kiehl’s product. Reading the front label is impossible, so my guess is that this is Facial Fuel energizing moisture treatment for men.

The bottle on the bottom shelf is Tom Ford Extreme, a woody earthy fragrance launched in 2007.

Next, there’s a bottle of Dermalogica special cleansing gel.

The pump bottle on the second shelf and the tube on the bottom shelf are Redken products, possibly from their men’s line (old packaging).

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to lepetitcivet for the Tom Ford id.
