The Edge of Seventeen (2016)


theedgeofseventeen_bornunicorn (3)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.

Scusi, facciamo l’amore? (1968)

guerlain_flaconmontre_mitsoukocologneThere’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).
