American Psycho (2000)

americanpsycho_bornunicorn1Patrick Bateman’s bathroom cabinet is one of the best ever featured in the history of cinema. He’s a psychotic narcissist who spends a great deal of time and money to take care of his physical appearance. No wonder that the selection of perfumes and hair, skin and body products in his bathroom is very refined and luxurious.

americanpsycho2_bornunicorneauxdecaronpure_bornunicornOn the middle shelf of his cabinet we can see the fragrances Caron Eaux de Caron Pure and Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. The other products are L’Occitane Spray Coiffant (now discontinued), Phytoplage sun protection oil (old packaging) and  Phyto Men Eau Vigoureuse body splash (now discontinued). The white jar – by L’Occitane – presumably contains a face cream or a mask.

caronpourunhomme_bornunicornOn the bottom shelf there are three Phyto Men products and another fragrance – Pour un Homme by Caron.

A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018)

futile2_bornunicornThere are several toiletries on a bureau in Doug Kenney’s bedroom.

oldspice_originalcologne_bornunicorn

marsh-vaseline_bornunicornAmong them, a jar of Vaseline and a bottle of Old Spice cologne. The tall green bottle could be Pinaud Clubman talc, but the front label is not shown, so I can’t tell.

futilemobilhandlotion_bornunicornThere’s an interesting bottle with a red pegasus on the front. Believe it or not, it’s a Mobil Gas Station hand lotion, presumably from the 1940s/1950s.
