A Single Man (2009)
There’s a Guerlain flacon montre with glass stopper on Charlotte’s bed-side table. The central disk of the label is not visible, so it’s hard to tell what perfume it contained. It’s dark, though, so we can make some assumptions.
It could be Ode, with the purple disk.
Or Vol de Nuit, with the navy blue disk.
It could also be Jicky, with the burgundy disk.
Or Liu, with the black disk.
Or even Mitsouko, with the emerald green disk.
Which Guerlain cologne do you think could suit the character? I would see her wearing Jicky, with its fresh spicy notes, or Liu, with its beautiful opening of aldehydes and bergamot.
Maniac (2012)
There are Vaseline Aloe Fresh body lotion, Dsquared² Wood perfume and Beyond the Zone Rock On volumizing powder in Lucie’s bathroom.
American Gangster (2007)
Mr. Morgan’s Last Love (2013)
There are several beauty products in Matthew Morgan’s bathroom, most of which were used by his wife Joan. On the glass shelf there’s a tube of Elgydium toothpaste.
In the cabinet there are a bottle of Sonia Rykiel Woman perfume and Guerlain Météorites face powder.
By the Sea (2015)
There are two Jean Patou fragrances on Vanessa’s dressing table: one is Joy, the other one is Eau de Joy. Launched in 1929 as “the world’s most expensive perfume,” Joy was created by Henri Alméras with 10600 flowers of jasmine and 28 dozens of roses, plus notes of ylang-ylang, musk, tuberose and sandalwood. Eau de Joy was launched in the 1960s: it’s dominated by jasmine notes, along with civet, aldehydes, lily of the valley and rose.
On the dressing table there are also a box of Summer Eye Cream by Germaine Monteil, still wrapped in plastic, and a bee-lid jar of Yardley face cream.

SoulBoy (2010)
Joe McCain (Martin Compston) puts on some Fabergé Brut cologne while getting ready to spend all night at Wigan Casino.
Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain (2001)
There’s a bottle of Botot mouthwash on the bathroom shelf.
There’s also a bottle of Fabergé Brut Oceans after shave.
Thanks to Cpt. Librarian for the mouthwash id.
Les choses de la vie (1970)
There are two perfumes on the shelf of the bathroom where Pierre (Michel Piccoli) is shaving and Hélène (Romy Schneider) is putting mascara on. The white bottle with a floral pattern is the refillable atomizer of Guerlain Chant d’Arômes, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and launched in 1962; the white and green striped box contains Carven Ma Griffe, a chypre floral perfume created by Jean Carles and launched in 1946.
I Capture the Castle (2003)
Cassandra and Rose Mortmain go to a luxury department store in London to get two fur coats their aunt Millicent left them as inheritance. Before getting to the right floor, Rose wanders in the perfume and fashion accessory department. Some Guerlain perfumes are displayed in a glass case: they are Shalimar and Véga.
The selection is historically accurate: the film is set in the 1930s, a decade during which both perfumes had been released. Shalimar was launched in 1925 and Véga in 1926.
