Nick Callan (Len Cariou) gives Ginny Newley (Bess Armstrong) Guerlain Shalimar as a gift. The zigzag box tells me he gave her the Eau de Toilette version from the 1980s or the Eau de Cologne.

Nénette et Boni (1996)
Bottles of Christian Dior Dolce Vita and Lancôme Poême in the department store where the baker (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) goes shopping. The choice to put them on the shelves is historically accurate: the fragrance by Dior (created by Pierre Bourdon and Maurice Roger) was launched in 1994, while the Lancôme one (created by Jacques Cavallier) was launched in 1995.
Right below the Dior display there’s another interesting perfume, launched in 1996: it’s Butterfly by Hanae Mori, an amber fragrance created by Bernard Ellena.
Thanks to Alessandra for the Hanae Mori id.
From Prada to Nada (2011)
L’Oreal True Match liquid foundation, Escada Rockin’ Rio perfume and China Glaze fuchsia nail polish on Mary Dominguez’s dressing table.
Muriel’s Wedding (1994)
Deidre Chambers (Gennie Nevinson) has a flamboyant style which I love. The outfit she sports in a scene set at a restaurant is my favourite: it includes a black sequined cardigan, black trousers and an embroidered white blouse. She’s a beauty consultant, so it’s nice she’s got a lipstick, a blush compact, a brush and a perfume on her blouse. The perfume bottle is clearly the same as Yves Saint Laurent Opium, a classic 1980s scent which Deidre could totally wear.
Palo Alto (2013)
Annick Goutal Un Matin d’Orage perfume, Lancôme La Laque Fever lipgloss, Maybelline Great Lash mascara and a Sinful Colors nail polish in Emily’s bedroom.
Thanks to my reader Mich for the mascara id.
The Women (2008)
Gucci Envy Me, Tom Ford Black Orchid and Bond no. 9 perfumes at Crystal’s counter.
Il capitale umano (2013)
Carla Bernaschi (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) has got some Guerlain Aqua Allegoria bottles on her dressing table.
À bout de souffle (1960)
There’s a box of Christian Dior Miss Dior on Minouche’s dressing table.
Naked (1993)
Cacharel Lou Lou perfume and The Body Shop shampoo or bath gel (vintage bottle) can be seen in Louise’s bedroom.
