There are two Jean Patou fragrances on Vanessa’s dressing table: one is Joy, the other one is Eau de JoyLaunched 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.

Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the MAC lip conditioner id.

mariobadescucream_bornunicornOn the top shelf I’ve spotted a Mario Badescu face cream. The front label cannot be read, so it’s impossible to tell what cream it is. There’s also a tube of Verb styling cream.
