Uncut Gems (2019)

uncutgems_bornunicorn (1)

montblanclegend_bornunicornHoward Ratner is a gambling addict who runs a jewellery store in the diamond district in New York. He leads a very hectic and dangerous life, as the bruises on his back show. He’s always busy (even when he’s just out of the shower, he’s on the phone) but thanks to this short scene we can take a look at the toiletries and perfumes he uses.

On the right of the screen there’s Montblanc Legend, an aromatic perfume created by Olivier Pescheux and launched in 2011.

gillettefoamy_bornunicornBy the washbasin there are two Old Spice Classic deodorant sticks, Pinaud Clubman after-shave lotion and Gillette Foamy shaving foam.

chanelbleudechanel_bornunicornThis id is just a guess, but I’m pretty sure it’s correct. I think the bottle half-seen between Howard’s arm and chest is Bleu de Chanel, at least judging from the lettering and from the shape of the atomiser. From a historical point of view, this would be an accurate choice: the film is set in 2012, and this Jacques Polge creation was launched in 2010.

L’Homme fidèle (2018)

lhommefidele_bornunicorn (3)There are several beauty products in Eve’s bedroom.

acquadiparmairisnobile_bornunicornFirst from the left, a bottle by Acqua di Parma. The front label can’t be seen, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance it is.

chanelchance_bornunicornChanel Chance doesn’t come as a surprise, since Lily Rose Depp is currently one of the most popular testimonials of the French brand. This creation by Jacques Polge was launched in 2003.

avenefacescrub_bornunicornAnother skincare product is Avène gentle purifying scrub.

Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead (1991)

The vanity Sue Ellen (Christina Applegate) sits at every morning to get ready to work is full of beauty products. Besides a huge bottle of Rochas Femme perfume, there are two haircare products by Tresemmé with black packaging: the pump bottle on the right is Tres Spray, while the tube on the left is probably gel.

On the left there’s also a jar of Pond’s peach cold cream.

The yellow spray can on the right is Impulse deodorant, of which I haven’t been able to find any pictures.
