Sirens E02 (Talons)

When Devon (Meghann Fahy) realises that surrendering to Kiki’s influence is the best she can do to help her own sister Simone (Kiki’s personal assistant), she’s up for a wild ride. The over-controlling billionaire decides what clothes and accessories Devon will wear while staying at the Cliff House, and packs a dressing table with fragrances, cosmetics and skincare, too. Nothing is actually in tune with Devon’s style and personality, but that is not the point: once one enters Kiki’s orbit, they have to passively accept her choices and decisions.

From left to right, here’s what I can see on the table.

The blush pink bottle is Givenchy Irresistible, a musky rose fragrance by Fanny Bal, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo, launched in 2020.

Next, there’s a Caron fragrance in the trademark ring round bottle. The front label cannot be read, though, so we don’t know what fragrance it contains.

It’s unclear whether Givenchy is Kiki’s brand of choice for fragrances, but she surely loves it for her guests. Half hidden among several bottles there’s L’Interdit eau de parfum [1], a white floral creation by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal, launched in 2018.

There’s also the Rouge version of the aforementioned eau de parfum. This was launched in 2021.

On the right side of the table there are several skincare products. Among them, the eye and expression cream Genaissance de la Mer™ (in the jar) and a bottle of La Mer The Essential Tonic.

Even though the screencap above is blurry, it clearly shows the presence of three Givenchy jars containing loose powder.

The small one on the left is Blush Prisme Libre in Mousseline Lilas.

Just below there’s a jar of Prisme Libre loose powder in Mousseline Acidulée.

On the far right side of the table there’s another jar of Prisme Libre loose powder in Organza Ambré.

[1] The original L’Interdit is a floral aldehyde fragrance by Francis Fabron launched in 1957. It was created in 1956 for Audrey Hepburn, who initially opposed Hubert de Givenchy’s decision to market it; when she finally lifted her ban, the designer named it after her forbidding. As a matter of fact, the French word “interdit” means “forbidden” in English.

The claim in the 1957 advert perfectly sums up its origin.

Black Doves S01E04 (Go Bang Time)

There are some interesting products on Helen’s dressing table.

The dark blue bottle with gold detail is Dior Addict, a white floral fragrance created by Thierry Wasser and Christian Dussoulier, and launched in 2002, at the peak of John Galliano’s residency at Dior.

Next to it there’s a bottle of Skinfood Royal Honey Propolis enrich essence.

Last, we can see a bottle of Findley Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid eye serum.

Thanks to Sylvinka for submitting this post, and to Femto Fitz for the Findley id.

The White Lotus S03E04 (Hide or Seek)

There are some interesting beauty items in Timothy and Victoria’s bathroom.

First, a Mason Pearson bristle and nylon hairbrush.

Second, a bottle of L’Occitane Immortelle Reset overnight oil-in-serum.

Third, a bottle of L’Occitane Aromachologie intensive repair enriched infused oil.

Although it’s not a beauty item, I’m in love with the vintage Louis Vuitton Astor Place shoulder bag in yellow Monogram Vernis. Victoria keeps her medicines in it.

Thanks to Ale for the L’Occitane Aromachologie id.

The Undoing E06 (The Bloody Truth)

Henry (Noah Jupe) is brushing his teeth. Some toiletries and fragrances can be seen in the elegant marble bathroom where he’s standing.

By the washbasin there’s a bottle by Officina profumo-farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. It contains a toner but it’s impossible to be more precise because the front label is unreadable.

The pale pink and white bottle is Gucci Bloom eau de parfum, a white floral fragrance by Alberto Morillas launched in 2017.

Moving to the bath tub area opposite the boy, we can see several bottles on a round table. On the left side of the table there’s a bottle of Giorgio Armani , a chypre fragrance by Christine Nagel launched in 2013.

There’s also Chanel N°5, originally created by Ernest Beaux and launched in 1921.

Last, there’s a bottle of Jean-Paul Gaultier Classique eau de parfum. This floral fragrance, heavy on vanilla, is one of the masterpieces by Jacques Cavallier, launched in 1992.

Thanks to Victoria for submitting this post.

Nine Perfect Strangers S01E06 (Motherlode)

There’s a pump bottle of Aesop Resurrection Aromatique hand wash in Francis’ bathroom.

The camera moves and reveals more products by the washbasin. All of them are by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella.

The white bottle is a shampoo.

The white tube is the enzymatic exfoliating mask.

Last, the tall glass spray bottle contains a toning water. Judging from the writing on the label it could be rose water.

Thanks to my friend Rocco for submitting this post.

The Sopranos S05E05 (Irregular Around the Margins)

There are some interesting beauty products in Adriana and Christopher’s bathroom.

On the shelf behind the girl there’s a tall Jo Malone bottle. It’s unclear what product it is but, judging from the light content, it could be shampoo.

The moment in which Adriana (Drea De Matteo) opens a mirrored cabinet reveals more items.

The silver can with blue bands on the top shelf is Zirh Clean alpha-hydroxy face wash for men.

On the top shelf there’s a bottle of Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Healing lotion. I couldn’t find any exact pictures of it but you can see the packaging in a 2002 commercial.

The dark blue box sitting in the middle shelf is Boucheron Pour Homme.

There’s a NARS box, too. White packaging has usually been associated to the brand’s skincare line, but online there’s no evidence of the original products launched in 2002, so I don’t have any visual reference.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and thanks to Scentimentalist in the comments for the Zirh ID.

The Power S01E08 (Just a Girl)

Margot (Toni Collette) keeps some perfumes and beauty products on her mirrored vanity.

On the far left there’s a bottle of Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey eau de toilette, a floral aquatic fragrance by Jacques Cavallier launched in 1992.

Next to it there’s Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Carlos Benaim and launched in 1991.

On the right side of the table there’s a bottle of Calvin Klein Escape, a floral aquatic fragrance created by Claude Dir and launched in 1991.

On the vanity there’s also a jar of Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv cream.

Thanks to Jane Daly for submitting this post and to Jernê Knowles for the Calvin Klein id.

American Horror Story S12E04 (The Vanishing Twin)

Virginia (Debra Monk) pays a visit to her son Dexter and his wife Anna. The skincare products she keeps on her dressing table are by Tata Harper.

The jar contains Water-Lock moisturizer.

The pale green bottle contains Superkind bio-barrier serum.

American Horror Story S12E03 (When the Bough Breaks)

When Anna receives a gift basket from Hamish, we can see some interesting beauty products in it.

The two pump bottles on the left are Soap Cherie body oils – Orchid and Morning Rose.

The larger bottle is Aesop geranium leaf body cleanser.

There’s another Soap Cherie product: it’s the Magnolia body lotion.

Last, there’s a bottle of Malin+Goetz advanced renewal moisturizer.
