After a night of partying and reminiscing, Cecile (Jean Seberg) finally returns home, removes the elegant Givenchy dress she’s worn so far and puts her make-up off.
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.
Yeon-gyo (Cho Yeo-jeong) is a lucky woman: she lives in a
On the left there’s a bottle decorated with an orange and black ribbon: it’s
Always on the left, just behind the Penhaligon’s perfume, there’s tall bottle with white stopper and a pale green front label: it’s an 
The several black make-up palettes displayed right in front of the woman are of course by Chanel.

Howard 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.


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

There are two white ceramic bottles of Halston perfume in the Leeds’ bedroom.
