Lilya 4-ever (2002)

Leave a comment

When Lilya (Oksana Akinshina) gets to Sweden, for the one and only time in her life she has the chance to bask in the beauty of products at a duty-free shop.

On the left side of the screencap we can see a large selection of Clinique skincare.

Just below there are some products from the now-defunct haircare line by the same brand.

The girl is standing in front of a set of shelves and checks perfume bottles. On the top shelf a bottle of Kenzo is half-visible. This is a floral fragrance created by Françoise Caron and launched in 1998.

On the shelf below there are two Giorgio Armani fragrances. One is Acqua di Giò, a floral fruity fragrance created by Edouard Fléchier launched in 1995.  

The other is Emporio Armani Lei, a floral fragrance by Daniela Andrier launched in 1998.  

Lilya is interested in Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier, the best-selling fragrance by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud launched in 1993.

On the bottom shelf there are some boxes of Chloé, the white floral fragrance by Betty Busse launched in 1975.

When Lilya moves around the shop, we can see a large selection of Biotherm skincare and bodycare products. In the screencap above she’s checking some skincare by the Lancôme shelf.

She shows interest for Lancôme Bi-Facil eye make-up remover.

Diamant Brut (2024)

There are lots of perfume bottles and miniatures in Liane’s bedroom. It’s unclear whether they belong to her or to her mother, but she surely likes to have them around as decoration.

Starting from the far left side of the counter, I can see

A miniature bottle of Yves Rocher Chevrefeuille eau de toilette, a green floral fragrance launched in 1976.

A miniature bottle of Cartier Délices de Cartier, a floral/fruity fragrance by Christine Nagel launched in 2006.

The round bottle with red stopper is Yves Rocher Pomme d’Api, a fruity fragrance launched in 1990.

There’s another miniature with red stopper, and it’s another Yves Rocher fragrance: Folies de Saisons Ivresse d’Été, a floral fruity eau de toilette launched in 1997.

Moving right, there’s a full-size bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Paris, the iconic rose fragrance by Sophia Grojsman launched in 1983.

Next to it, we can barely see a bottle with a thimble-shaped metal stopper: it’s Madeleine Vionnet, a floral fragrance that Françoise Caron created in 1996 for the historical French maison.

The black bottle with pointy beige stopper houses L’Ambre Vanille by Tan Giudicelli, a fragrance launched in 1997.

Another quintessentially French fragrance is next: it’s Dior Miss Dior Chérie, a chypre fruity fragrance by Christine Nagel launched in 2005.

The tall bottle with silver stopper is Estée Lauder Pleasures, a floral fragrance by Annie Buzantian and Alberto Morillas launched in 1995.

It’s nice to see the evocative bottle of Cacharel Noa in this scene. It’s a white floral/musky fragrance by Olivier Cresp launched in 1998.

Moving to the front of the counter, we can see more miniature bottles. The one with the “curly” stopper is Givenchy Organza Indécence eau de parfum, a warm spicy fragrance by Norbert Bijaoui and Jean Claude Delville launched in 1999.

There’s also a miniature bottle of Balmain Ivoire de Balmain eau de toilette, a chypre floral fragrance created by Michel Hy and Francis Camail and launched in 1979.

The round miniature bottle is Guerlain Insolence, a violet fragrance by Maurice Roucel and Sylvaine Delacourte launched in 2006.

Right behind it there’s Van Cleef & Arpels First eau de toilette, a floral aldehyde fragrance by Jean-Claude Ellena launched in 1976.

The short capless bottle on the right is another Yves Rocher fragrance – the floral Vie Privée, launched in 1989.

On the far right part of the counter there are two full-size bottles. Despite being off-focus, it’s easy to tell what they are. The tallest bottle is Dior J’Adore, a white floral fragrance by Calice Becker launched in 1999.

The other one is an empty Hermès bottle, possibly housing Calèche, another floral aldehyde fragrance. It was created by Guy Robert and launched in 1961.

Thanks to Jamal for the Guerlain id and to Cédric for the Yves Rocher and Giudicelli ids.

The distinctive black bottle sitting on a dresser in Leigh’s bedroom is Lanvin’s iconic boule noire containing Arpége, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Paul Vacher and Andre Fraysse and launched in 1927.

The advert above dates back to 1978, the year in which the film was released, and shows exactly the bottle seen in the film.

The hairbrush on her dresser is by Mason Pearson.

There are many interesting fragrances on the vanity shown in the screencap above.

The first bottle on the left is Revlon Jontue, a floral green fragrance launched in 1976.

The bottle with the pink front label is Avon Sweet Honesty, a floral fragrance launched in 1973.

Next, there’s a bottle of Avon Unspoken, a woody floral fragrance launched in 1975.

The pink box on the right side of the vanity is Evyan White Shoulders gift set containing the eau de cologne version of the fragrance, scented body powder and powder puff.

Thanks to LePetitCivet for submitting this post, and to Clayton in the comments for the Unspoken id.

There are two interesting products on Isabelle’s dresser.

One is Cacharel Anais Anais, even though just the box is visible. This floral fragrance, created by Roger Pellegrino, Robert Gonnon, Paul Leger and Raymond Chaillan, was launched in 1978 and gained huge popularity in the following decade.

The other is a Clinique classic – Dramatically Different moisturising lotion.

Someone’s Watching Me (1978)

When we first see TV director Leigh Michael’s bathroom, we can notice some very famous fragrances on the marble counter.

From the left to the right there are:

A balloon bottle by Lucien Lelong. Impossible to tell what fragrance it contained, because the same bottle was used to house several fragrances.

The unmistakable blue, black and silver bottle belongs to Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Michel Hy and launched in 1971.

Another 1970s staple is Revlon Jean Naté after-bath splash in the distinctive tall bottle with black round stopper.

Last but not least, a legend from that decade – the hugely popular Charlie by Revlon. This white floral aldehyde fragrance was launched in 1973.

Later in the film, we can see a different selection of fragrances on the counter. The Lelong balloon bottle and Charlie are gone, but Jean Naté and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche (two bottles of it!) are still there.

The jar sitting on the same counter is a Max Factor skincare product – Moisture Essence night cream.
