esteelaudersensuousnoir_bornunicorn-1.jpgThere 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.

santamarianovella_calendulacream_bornunicornThe 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).sisleycreamjar_bornunicorn.jpgThere’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.penhaligonsartemisia_bornunicornThere’s also a Penhaligon’s perfume. Judging from the ribbon bow on the bottle, it’s Artemisia, a powdery/milky fragrance launched in 2002.

L’etrangleur (1970)

There are many Guerlain perfumes on the vanity table of one of Émile’s victims. From left to right:

Guerlain Chypre 53 cologne_bornunicornThe 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.
