Boccaccio ’70: Il lavoro (1962)
A bottle of Chanel No. 5 eau de cologne sits on the floor of Pupe’s bedroom.
The Glass House (2001)
The cabinet in Ruby’s bathroom is pretty busy.
On the left there’s a box of Pond’s clear pore strips (the packaging in the film is older than the one in the picture above).
There’s also Pond’s deep pore foaming cleanser from the Clear Solutions line.
Her fragrance is not surprising at all – it’s Calvin Klein CK One. Created by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont and launched in 1994, this citrus aromatic scent became the symbol of a decade but also set a standard for a new type of fragrances.
The two bottles on the far right look like lip glosses but they are actually fragrances from the Bottled Emotion line by Bonne Bell. The scents are Lucky (blue bottle) and Shy (clear bottle).

The Day of the Jackal (1973)
The drugstore the Jackal (Edward Fox) visits is full of interesting bottles.
On the wall right behind the main counter there’s a poster advertising Victor Acqua di Selva. A factice bottle of the same fragrance can be seen on the counter.
In the glass cabinet behind the counter there’s a Christian Dior houndstooth bottle. Impossible to tell what fragrance it contained.
On the counter on the right there are so many bottles! Among them, the beautiful fluted flacon of Lucien Lelong Gardenia.
Next to it, the heart-shaped bottle of Guerlain Chamade.
The camera angle changes and more bottles are revealed.
On a glass shelf there’s a spray bottle of Chanel No. 5 eau de parfum.
Next to Chamade there’s a Guerlain flacon montre, but the colourful disk on white background was replaced with an odd label that looks absolutely wrong. I wonder what the prop masters were thinking…
On a glass shelf there’s Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass dusting powder.
In the mirrored cabinet behind the Jackal there are some bottles of Chanel eau de cologne and Lanvin Eau Arpège.
If you’re wondering what hairdye the Jackal buys, wonder no more: it’s Clairol Loving Care.
Day Out of Days (2015)
There are several beauty products in Mia’s bathroom cabinet.
On the top shelf there’s a bottle of MCMC Noble fragrance, created by Anne McClain and launched in 2009.
On the same shelf there’s a jar of Iwilla Remedy My Skin Glows vegan nourishing cream.
Another product of the same brand – I Love My Armpits deodorant in Baby Powder – can be seen on the middle shelf.
On the same shelf there’s a bottle of Sinful Colors nail polish.
On the bottom shelf there’s a bottle of Hamadi Organics shea leave-in moisturizing styling cream.
Last, a tube of MAC lipstick.

Mozzarella Stories (2011)
There are two interesting perfumes in Autilia’s bathroom. The tall bottle on the left is L’eau d’Issey by Issey Miyake, the floral aquatic masterpiece by Jacques Cavallier that was launched in 1992. The drop-shaped bottle on the left is a more recent product – Givenchy Ange ou Démon eau de parfum, an amber floral fragrance created by Olivier Cresp and Jean-Pierre Bethouart and launched in 2006.
In from the Side (2022)
A bottle of Guess Seductive Homme, a fragrance launched in 2011, can be seen on a shelf in Mark’s bathroom.
In the same bathroom there’s also a bottle of Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme, created by Aurelien Guichard and launched in 2008.
Pu bu (2021)
Lo Pin-wen (Alyssa Chia) is getting ready to go out on a date. There are some interesting beauty products on her bathroom shelf.
There’s Diptyque Baies candle in a black ceramic glass.
On its right there’s a white bottle of L’Erbolario Camellia shower gel.
On the washbasin counter there’s Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey summer eau de toilette, a limited edition from 2012.
Revolutionary Road (2008)
There’s a Guerlain flacon bouchon coeur on Milly’s dressing table.
Reading the front label is impossible, but I guess the bottle contains Mitsouko, one of the most popular creations of the Parisian maison, released in 1919.
On the left side of the table there’s a tin bottle of Kerkoff Djer Kiss talcum.

Island of Lost Souls (1932)
There are many generic perfume bottles on Lota’s dressing table, but there’s one which cannot be ignored.
It’s the wonderful flacon bouchon coeur by Guerlain! Designed by Raymond Guerlain in collaboration with Baccarat, it was originally created to house extraits of three fragrances by Jacques Guerlain – L’Heure Bleue (1912), Fol Arôme (1912) and Mitsouko (1919).
All of them were already on the market when the film was made, but which one was so popular in the U.S.A. to appear as a prop in a controversial [1] science fiction horror film? I would personally go with Mitsouko.
The two atomisers on the left are by DeVilbiss.
[1] The film, violent and gruesome, was heavily censored for years.
