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.
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.

Joe McCain (Martin Compston) puts on some Fabergé Brut cologne while getting ready to spend all night at Wigan Casino.
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.
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.
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.
Two Van Cleef & Arpels perfumes can be seen in the scene introducing the protagonist, Jupiter Jones. The blue bottle is Midnight in Paris, a balsamic fragrance created by Domitille Bertier and Olivier Polge; the one with the faceted stopper is Oriens, a perfume combining vetiver, raspberry and praline, created by Bernard Ellena. Both perfumes were launched in 2010.
When Cassandra (Romola Garai) and Rose Mortmain (Rose Byrne) visit a luxury department store in London, the smell that impresses them the most is a bluebell perfume spritzed by a sales assistant. Rose establishes a connection between that smell and heaven, emphasized by the unusually posh place they’re at.
Later in the film, Cassandra and Stephen Colley (Henry Cavill) have the same conversation; it’s Cassandra who utters the “I can smell heaven” previously said by her sister. In this case, they’re not referring to the perfume, but to real bluebells.
Rose writes a letter to Cassandra, describing the preparations for her upcoming wedding to Simon Cotton. She speaks of her visit to the same luxury store she went to with her sister some time before: the place, she explains, has the same exact smell, “heaven and bluebells”.
Cassandra is over the moon when Rose gives her the bluebell perfume as a birthday present. This is a fictional perfume, but the label and the box remind me of Penhaligon’s Bluebell, an intoxicating perfume created by Michael Pickthall and launched in 1985.
Lady D and Kate Moss were/are among the fans of this floral green fragrance, a triumph of hyacinth, made peculiar by earthy tones of cloves and cinnamon.
There are bottles of Geo. F. Trumper Eucris hairdressing and Eau de Quinine in Margaret Thatcher’s bathroom cabinet.
