There are three flacons abeilles by Guerlain in Giulia’s bathroom.
This iconic bottle design was first introduced in 1828 for the Eau de Cologne Impériale, but was later used for colognes and eaux de toilettes, too.

A Normal Woman (2025)
Milla’s walk-in closet is an elegant room where she creates her public persona of devoted wife and mother with the help of luxurious clothes, jewellery and accessories.
The selection of fragrances on her vanity probably doesn’t say much about her as a person, but is absolutely in line with the image she’s projecting and with her family’s expectations. One of the fragrances is Yves Saint Laurent Libre, a white floral eau de parfum created by Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaïm, and launched in 2019.
Chanel No. 5 is an almost mandatory choice: the legendary floral aldehyde eau de parfum originally created by Ernest Beaux and launched in 1921, symbolises class and refinement.
Half-hidden in the back of the vanity, there’s also a bottle of Jo Malone cologne.
Another mainstream fragrance that Milla uses is Dior J’Adore, a white floral fragrance by Calice Becker launched in 1999.
Thanks to Charlie in the comments for the YSL Libre id.
Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024)
This documentary gives an interesting look at the stellar career of Liza Minnelli, an artist who has performed on stage basically all her life. The scene above is taken from backstage footage from the 1970s. Among several make-up items it’s impossible not to notice the tall striped bottle on the right side of her dressing table.
It’s the unmistakable aluminium canister of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, the floral aldehyde fragrance created by Michel Hy in 1971 and named after the left bank of the river Seine in Paris, where the first YSL boutique was located. This fragrance definitely appealed to Liza Minnelli’s independent and free spirit.
The round object on the right side of the table is Personna Flicker shaver.
Thanks to Amy in the comments for the Flicker razor id.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
There are two interesting bottles in Danica’s bathroom.
One of them is Marc Jacobs Daisy, a white floral fragrance by Alberto Morillas launched in 2007.
The other is a classic from the 1990s – L’Eau d’Issey by Issey Miyake. This floral aquatic fragrance was created by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and launched in 1992.
La baie des anges (1963)
A bottle of Weil Antilope can be seen on the glass shelf in Jackie’s bathroom. This floral aldehyde fragrance was launched in 1946.
Materialists (2025)
The toothpaste in Harry’s bathroom is Marvis Anise Mint.
Reading the front label of the fragrance bottle is not possible, but this is from the line I profumi di Firenze by the Italian brand Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio.
Last, the yellow can belongs to the Acqua di Parma Barbiere line: it’s the shaving gel.
Thanks to Cédric for the fragrance id.
Materialists (2025)
There’s a Byredo fragrance on Lucy’s vanity. Impossible to give details because the front label is unreadable.
Il mare (1962)
The Boy (Dino Mele) forces the Actor (Umberto Orsini) to drink some cologne in his bathroom. He then drops the bottle in the washbasin: we can see it’s Monsieur de Givenchy cologne.
The original fragrance, created by Francis Fabron, was launched in 1959.
The one seen in the film – the eau de cologne – doesn’t exist: Givenchy produced the eau de toilette and the after-shave lotion only. For this reason, I guess the prop master of the film used the original bottle and made a realistic (although fictitious) label for it.
Thanks to my friend Rocco for submitting this post.
Anatomie de l’enfer (2004)
The Man (Rocco Siffredi) picks up a lipstick from the bathroom of the Woman – a scene that gives us a chance to see what’s on the shelf above the washbasin.
There’s a gorgeous golden refillable canister by Guerlain and a black glossy compact by Chanel. In both cases it’s impossible to know what fragrance/product they contained.
The red lipstick he takes from the shelf is from the fictional brand The Tools.
There’s also a bottle of Christian Dior nail polish, shown above in an ad from the spring 2000 collection starring Kristina Semenovskaya.
I am pretty sure the other nail polish bottle (the one with two golden bands on the stopper) is by Maybelline, but I couldn’t find any online evidence of it.
Romance X (1999)
There’s a bottle of Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey eau de toilette in Marie’s bathroom.
This white floral aquatic fragrance, created by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and launched in 1992, soon became a symbol of that decade, where minimalism contrasted the excess of the 1980s.
