There’s a Guerlain flacon quadrilobe on Lea de Lonval’s dressing table. The front sticker is not visible, so it’s impossible to say what perfume it is.

You Were Never Really Here (2017)
There are several perfumes on a table in the bedroom of Joe’s mother.
Among them, a bottle of Estee Lauder White Linen, created by Sophia Grojsman and launched in 1978.
The vintage glass bottle missing the spray nozzle is a Nina Ricci perfume. Impossible to say what it contains, since the same bottle was used for several fragrances.
Le passager de la pluie (1970)
Tania Legauff (Corinne Manchard) has a bottle of Lubin Gin Fizz on her vanity table. The perfume, created in 1955 by Henri Giboulet, takes the name from a refreshing long drink made with gin, sugar syrup, fresh lemon juice and soda water, but is a homage to Grace Kelly, the Hollywood superstar who became Princess of Monaco one year after the launch of the perfume.
American Psycho (2000)
There are two fragrances on Courtney’s bedside table: the tall bottle with black stopper is Oscar by Oscar de la Renta, a white floral fragrance created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac in 1977; the round pink bottle is 1881 by Cerruti, created by Claire Cain in 1995.
The Cerruti perfume is historically inaccurate, because the film is set in 1987.
Ammore e Malavita (2017)
One of the criminals in the movie has got a very busy bathroom cabinet, filled with perfumes and colognes!
In the screencap above, he’s holding a bottle of Floid after shave with black pump atomiser. This brand was founded in the 1930s in Barcelona, and it’s still highly appreciated by fans of traditional shaving and skincare.
The only product I was able to identify in the packed cabinet is Pino Silvestre after shave, another classic men’s product, this time quintessentially Italian. Created by Lino Vidal and launched in 1955, it’s a fougère fragrance with fresh top notes. I remember I loved Pino Silvestre bath gel when I was a child: it was a staple in our shower.
American Psycho (2000)
Patrick Bateman’s bathroom cabinet is one of the best ever featured in the history of cinema. He’s a psychotic narcissist who spends a great deal of time and money to take care of his physical appearance. No wonder that the selection of perfumes and hair, skin and body products in his bathroom is very refined and luxurious.
On the middle shelf of his cabinet we can see the fragrances Caron Eaux de Caron Pure and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. The other products are L’Occitane Spray Coiffant (now discontinued), Phytoplage sun protection oil (old packaging) and Phyto Men Eau Vigoureuse body splash (now discontinued). The white jar – by L’Occitane – presumably contains a face cream or a mask.
On the bottom shelf there are three Phyto Men products and another fragrance – Pour un Homme by Caron.
On the top shelf there are two deodorants – Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. A bottle of Pour Lui eau de toilette can be seen on the far left side by of the screencap above.
We are also given access to Patrick’s shower, so we can see he uses Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme all-over shower gel and L’Occitane Eau de Contadour body and hair shower gel.
More L’Occitane products are in the shower: there’s a bottle of milk shower cream (old packaging) and two shampoos – Shampooing Eclat and Shampooing Nourissant (now discontinued).
Atomic Blonde (2017)
The “cologne from the West” Spyglass (Eddie Marsan) is given as after-shave lotion is Old Spice.
A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
There’s a flacon montre of Guerlain Shalimar eau de cologne on the dressing table in Wendy Leach’s bedroom.
Thanks to henna_flowerz for the id.
Blame (2017)
Among the objects on Abigail dresser, there’s a bottle of Crabtree & Evely Summer Hill body lotion.
The frosted glass bottle with a swan on it is something special: the French brand Payot launched Pavlova in 1977 as a homage to the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who happened to be the main source of inspiration for Nadia Payot, founder of the brand. This woody/white floral fragrance was actually inspired to a 1922 perfume. No wonder that a swan decorates the bottle: Pavlova performed The Dying Swan, a solo choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to Camille Saint-Saëns’s Le Cygne almost 4,000 times. Furthermore, the ballerina owned a real swan, Jack, whom she loved dearly.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the perfume id.
Mr. Roosevelt (2017)
Emily goes through Celeste’s bathroom cabinet, so we can see some interesting beauty items.
There’s a Make Up For Ever Ultra HD liquid foundation and a Dr. Hauschka facial toner. The copper-topped bottle is by Distillery General: the perfume is Strawberry Vine.
The product the girl puts on herself is L’Oreal Color Riche Extraordinaire liquid lipcolour in a nude shade.
Thanks to Fragrantica’s Pepperjune for the perfume id.
