The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

Nadine Franklin (Hailee Steinfeld) is getting ready to go out with Nick. She sprays some perfume, which happens to be a Serge Lutens scent. Quite an unusual choice for a teenager, isn’t it?
It’s hard to tell what perfume sits on her dresser. The “juice” is clear and the front label is white, so it could be Clair de Musc, Gris clair… or La vierge de fer.
Nerve (2016)

When Vee (Emma Roberts) visits Bergdorf Goodman for a dare, she stops by a perfume counter to ask for directions. Lots of Atelier Cologne bottles can be seen in this scene.

The five bottles on the left are from the Collection Matières – Rose Anonyme, Jasmin Angélique, Vanille Insensée, Vétiver Fatal and Ambre Nue.

The bottles in the middle are from the Collection Métal – Gold Leather, Santal Carmin, Silver Iris, Oud Saphir, Blanche Immortelle and Camelia Intrepide.

The bottles of the right include Bois Blonds, Trèfle Pur, Pomélo Paradis and Bergamote Soleil.
Thanks to Kora-Lee Lust for the id.
Scusi, facciamo l’amore? (1968)

There’s a Guerlain flacon montre on the shelves in the bedroom of Lallo di San Marciano (Pierre Clémenti). In the film the disk on the bottle is dark; we can make a few assumptions [1], but still it’s impossible to say what cologne it contained. I’d like to think it was Mitsouko.
[1] It could be Ode (purple disk), Vol de Nuit (navy blue disk), Jicky (burgundy disk) or Liu (black disk).
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)


On Martha’s busy dressing table there are bottles of Lucien Lelong Sirocco and Fabergè Tigress.
Thanks to Phyl D in the comments for the Fabergè id.
What Women Want (2000)
The protagonist’s ex-wife, Gigi (Lauren Holly) loves perfumes and beauty products: her busy dressing table proves it.
There are Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing lotion, Bulgari Eau Parfumée au The Vert cologne and body lotion, and a perfume by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier.


In another screencap, a bottle of Diorissimo (or Diorella) by Christian Dior and a perfume by Annick Goutal (even in this case, impossible to tell which one) can be seen.
Ziegfeld Girl (1941)

Sheila Regan (Lana Turner) is taking a bubble bath. There’s a giant bottle of Caron Nuit de Noël beside her marble bath tub.
Sabrina (1995)

There’s a bottle of Halston Z-14 in the bathroom Linus Larrabee (Harrison Ford) has in his office. This is a 1976 creation by Vincent Marcello and Max Gavarry with prominent spicy and leather notes.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the id.
Someone to Watch Over Me (1987)
Claire Gregory (Mimi Rogers) and Mike Keegan go shopping at a luxury department store. She’s an habitual customer, so she greets the sales assistant sitting at the perfume counter.

Among the several bottles on the counter, I’ve spotted a Chanel perfume in three sizes, a giant bottle of Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles eau de cologne and a giant Caron bottle. I can only assume the Chanel perfume is no.5, but the same bottle has been used for other fragrances.
One bottle of Ungaro Diva makes its appearance, too. In the background, on the right, a giant bottle of a Jean Patou perfume can be seen. It’s unclear whether it’s Joy or 1000, because the two perfumes have the same bottle.
Jackie (2016)
There are two Nina Ricci perfumes on Jackie Kennedy’s dressing table in her bedroom at the White House. On the left there’s L’air du temps, created by Francis Fabron and launched after the WWII, in 1948. On the right there’s Coeur Joie, a white floral perfume, created by Germaine Cellier and launched in 1946; the cut-out heart-shaped bottle was designed by Marc Lalique.
Thanks to PaleBlueMoon for the L’air du temps id.
