Jean Seberg (Kristen Stewart) is getting ready for a photoshoot in her beautiful Hollywood mansion. There are some beauty items on her vanity, two of which are by Avon.

The first is the dark red jar, which contains body lotion (in the film, the make-up artist puts it on Jean’s hands). As I’ve already pointed out, I think it’s the body lotion of Imari, whose packaging had this exact shade of red. The fragrance Imari and its body care line were originally launched in 1985, though, so this could be another example of historical inaccuracy.


The other Avon product is an atomiser with a funky black and white paisley pattern: it’s Patterns, a fragrance launched in 1969, in line with the time in which the film is set.

After a night of partying and reminiscing, Cecile (Jean Seberg) finally returns home, removes the
To do so, she uses a traditional product like Pond’s cold cream.
In front of her there are several beauty products, but the most intriguing object is the octagonal box on the right side of the vanity. Even if the label is not visible, this is definitely the box of Lucien Lelong Gardenia, a soliflore perfume launched in 1936. Too bad the wonderful fluted bottle is not out of the box.


The second bottle is Eau de Calandre by Paco Rabanne, a flanker of Calandre, the Michel Hy fragrance launched in 1969. This is an unusual choice. Eau de Calandre was marketed as a women’s fragrance, so the question is: did Montana wear it, thus showing an expectedly modern taste in perfumes? Or did

While wandering through the corridors of her hotel, Maggie Cheung – in Irma Vep black latex attire – enters a room where a semi-naked woman (interpreted by Arsinée Khanjian, credited as l’américaine) is talking on the phone. Maggie goes into her bathroom and steals a necklace. On the marble counter there are some beauty products, too. For example, a bottle of Galderma Cetaphil cleanser in the
There’s also a box of Clarins Eau Dynamisante, a wonderfully fresh fragrance created by Jacques Courtin-Clarins and launched in 1987. This is the original packaging.

Tish (Kiki Layne) works as sales assistant at a department store. The counter she works at displays the name of a Parisian perfume brand, Deux Soeurs (Two Sisters in English). Unfortunately, it’s a fictitious name for a brand that doesn’t exist in real life.


There are two Dr. Hauschka pump bottles (one of which is the


A bottle of Lancôme Lavandes sits in the Chevaliers’ bathroom. Created by Armand Petitjean and launched in 1945, it was usually housed in a peculiar long-neck bottle designed by Georges Delhomme (see the advert above). In this case, the bottle is decorated by horizontal fluting; the design of the original label has been changed, but the original name of the fragrance is still there.

There’s a bottle of Cartier Eau de Cartier Concentrée on Alberto’s dressing table. This fragrance, launched in 2002, was created by Christine Nagel.
