When Bob (Matt Dillon) and his drug-addict crew rob a pharmacy, a factice flacon chauve souris of Guerlain Shalimar can be seen on the shelf behind him.

Joker (2019)
There’s a bottle of Old Spice cologne on the dressing table of one of the clowns working at HaHa’s.
Pola X (1999)
Balenciaga
There are two factice bottles by Marie’s tub. One is Balenciaga Le Dix, the classic floral scent created by Francis Fabron and launched in 1947; the other, with the pink bottle with silver accents, is Cerruti 1881, a Claire Cain creation launched in 1995.
Fright Night Part 2 (1988)
There’s an interesting bottle on the dresser of a coed: it’s Le Jardin, the “incurably romantic fragrance” by Max Factor launched in 1982. The British actress Jane Seymour was its testimonial.
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.
La stanza del vescovo (1977)
There are several bottles on the vanity in Charlotte’s bedroom, among which two Hermès perfumes.
One is on the left of the wooden table watch: it’s Equipage, the first masculine perfume released by the French fashion house. Created by Guy Robert, it was launched in 1970.
The other is on the right side of the dresser: it’s Calèche, another creation by Robert, launched in 1961.
If you’ve seen the film, or read the Piero Chiara novel of the same title, you’ll know there’s a problem with both of these perfumes: the story is set in the Lago Maggiore area in 1946, so the Hermès perfumes (launched decades later) are historically inaccurate. I understand why the prop masters chose them, though: they were popular when the film was made and their bottles are beautiful.
On the vanity there’s also a tin can of Borotalco Roberts talcum powder.
Arabesque (1966)
When poor Professor David Pollock (Gregory Peck) hides in Yasmin’s shower, we can see a wonderful Guerlain flacon montre sitting on a marble shelf.
If we assume the front disk is navy blue (and that’s not really clear from the picture), this is the eau de cologne of Vol de Nuit.
¡Átame! (1989)
Marina (Victoria Abril) has a metal shelving unit in her bathroom: on it she keeps toiletries and a box of Balmain Ivoire de Balmain, a green floral chypre perfume created by Francis Camail and Michel Hy and launched in 1980.
¡Átame! (1989)
On a glass shelf in Marina’s bathroom there’s a bottle of Rochas Byzance, the oriental fragrance created by Alberto Morillas and Nicolas Mamounas and launched in 1987.
Performance (1970)
Turner (Mick Jagger) is a former rock star who lives in London’s Notting Hill with two women, Pherber (Anita Pallenberg) and Lucy (Michèle Breton). The famous scene where they’re taking a bath in the same tub features interesting products.
First of all, there’s a bottle of Hermès Calèche, created in 1961 by Guy Robert.
On the marble shelf by the tub there’s also a flacon montre of Guerlain Vol de Nuit (see the teal disk).
On the same shelf, on the right, there’s the unmistakable blue bottle of a bubble bath popular in the 1960s/1970s – L’Oreal Obao, the “bain bleu moussant”.
