Zeke (William Baldwin) is at Carly’s party and he’s reading a magazine. On the back cover there’s an advert for Dior Miss Dior starring Heather Stewart-Whyte.

Copycat (1995)
When agents M. J. Monahan and Reuben Goetz pay a visit to doctor Helen Hudson, the woman they’re protecting, we can get a look at her busy dressing table.
The first thing that has caught my attention is the perfume on the left – the 1980s classic Valentino. Created by Pierre Dinand and first launched in 1979, is a floral powerhouse. I still remember when my mother wore it: I was in heaven because it smelled amazing on her.
On the bottom left there’s Elizabeth Arden Lip Spa lipstick.
When the camera pans to M. J. (Holly Hunter), we can also see an Annick Goutal perfume (behind the blue box with red tassel) and a factice of Guerlain Shalimar in the background.
Urban Cowboy (1980)
There are bottles of Fabergé Brut Classic and Old Spice Original colognes on Bud Davis’s bathroom shelf.
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)
McReynolds (Tyler Hoechlin) and his house mates are getting ready for a night out. In the screencap above he’s using the woody fragrance Aramis For Men, created by Bernard Chant and launched in 1966. Other boys will end up using the same perfume.
Other products can be seen in the bathroom: for example, there’s a can of Barbasol shaving cream on the sink.
On a counter there’s a can of Gillette Right Guard deodorant.
Second Act (2018)
There’s a bottle of Terry de Gunzburg Thé Glacé aqua parfum on Maya’s dresser.
This fragrance, created in 2016, is part of the perfume collection by the legendary make-up artist who worked as Makeup Designer of YSL Beauté for 15 years and who is behind the make-up brand By Terry, launched in 1998.
Piercing (2018)
There are four perfume bottles sitting on Jackie’s vanity. Two of them are decorative objects, but two are real perfumes. The octagonal bottle is Jean Charles Brosseau Ombre Rose L’Original, a woody powdery fragrance created by Francoise Caron and launched in 1981. The purple one is Estee Lauder Sensuous Noir, a flanker of the 2008 perfume Sensuous: created by Annie Buzantian, it was launched in 2010.
Padroni di casa (2012)
There are medicines and beauty products on a tray by Moira’s bed.
The white jar with the cap printed in blue letters is Crema Calendula by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella. This is still on the market, but with a different packaging (tube instead of jar).
There’s another white jar: this has the capital “s” engraved on the cap. It’s by Sisley but it’s impossible to say more about it. As a matter of fact, this jar is used for several skincare products.
There’s also a Penhaligon’s perfume. Judging from the ribbon bow on the bottle, it’s Artemisia, a powdery/milky fragrance launched in 2002.
Io sono Mia (2019)
The fluted bottle on Mia Martini’s dressing table is a Guerlain cologne. This flacon was used for several fragrances, so it’s impossible to say what the Italian singer wore in the 1970s. I like thinking it was Shalimar.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
Two fragrances by Lucien Lelong can be seen on the middle shelf: the one with the metal stopper is Balalaika, the other is Taglio.
Balalaika was launched in 1939. Taglio has a more complex story: originally named N and launched in 1928, it was renamed Taglio for the American market in the early 1940s.
L’etrangleur (1970)
There are many Guerlain perfumes on the vanity table of one of Émile’s victims. From left to right:
The classic flacon abeilles contains Eau de Cologne Impériale, a cologne created by Pierre François Pascal Guerlain for Empress Eugenie in 1853.
No way to know what the flacon goutte contains here. This bottle, first launched in the 1920s, has been used for many eaux de toilette.
There’s another flacon abeilles – sans golden bees – containing an eau. The front label is not shown, so it’s impossible to say what eau this is.
The sage green disk on a flacon montre indicates its content: Chypre 53 eau de cologne. The perfume was first released in 1909, but in 1948 it was re-issued as a cologne.
The last bottle is the perfumed deodorant of Chant d’Arômes, a 1962 creation by Jean-Paul Guerlain.
