Clara (Angela Molina) is finally leaving her abusive husband Sancho, so she’s quickly packing some toiletries. In her bathroom there are many beauty products.
On the glass shelf there are two Shiseido Benefiance products – a toner and a cleansing milk.
There’s also L’Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, which has an important function in this scene.
In classic Almodóvar style, Chanel products make their appearance. In this case, there are a compact and a bottle of bi-phase make-up remover (or toner). There’s also a black box with gold band I haven’t been able to identify. It may be related to No. 5, but I have no idea what it can be.
Under the glass shelf there’s a cardboard bottle of Ausonia talc.
Next to the Chanel make-up remover there’s Guerlain Champs Elysées in a beautiful gold bottle designed by Robert Granai. The perfume, created by Jacques and Jean-Paul Guerlain, was launched in 1996.
But Champs Elysées is not the only Guerlain item in Clara’s bathroom. On the top glass shelf there’s a round gold box containing Météorites face powder pearls.
David (Javier Bardem) is bathing in the same tub. Behind him we can see Chanel Coco bath gel and Coco eau de toilette.
There are two quintessentially 1990s fragrances in the Golden Bay Club locker room where David (David Caruso) and Matt (Chazz Palminteri) change after a squash match.
There’s a factice bottle of a Christian Dior perfume on the fridge Augusta Terzi keeps in her bathroom. The bow-topped front label is impossible to read, so I unfortunately don’t know what perfume it is.
Margo (Bette Davis) and Karen (Celeste Holm) are at the Stork Club in New York with their partners. Two boxes of Le Galion Sortilège can be seen on their table. This choice is extremely accurate because the French fragrance, created in 1937 by Paul Vacher, really was the trademark perfume of the NY nightclub.
The boxes are unfortunately left unopened, so we cannot see its content, but this would be it – the beautiful fluted bottle the perfume had in its original version.
But the perfume bottles are not the only Sortilège presence on Margo’s table.
There’s a cute scented gadget – a

It’s Christmas time in Eureka, and Margie (Kathy Baker) and Freddy host a party for family and friends. During the party, Margie retouches Helena’s make-up and puts some perfume on her.
It’s not a spray bottle, the one that Margie takes out of her mirrored cabinet, but a splash one. The opaque glass flowers decorating the stopper are quite unmistakable.
When the girl finally holds the bottle, the mystery is finally revealed: it’s Chloé.
This romantic white floral perfume is a creation of Betty Busse. It was launched in 1975 under the label Parfums Lagerfeld, because Karl Lagerfeld was at the helm of the brand as main designer from 1966 to 1983.
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.
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.
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.
