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.

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.

The Idol E03 (Daybreak)

Jocelyn’s vanity is packed with beauty products.

On the left side of the table there’s a bottle of La Mer The Concentrate serum.

The two perfume bottles are decorative but I recognise their stopper: it’s from Annick Goutal perfumes (old packaging).

There’s also a bottle of MAC Studio Fix fluid foundation.

The dropper bottle is a face serum by L’Oreal, but even in this case I think the prop masters modified it: the bottle looks like the one from Revitalift 1.5% hyaluronic acid serum, but the dropper seems to have been taken from Revitalift 12% pure vitamin C + E + salicylic acid Serum.

Next to the serum there’s another L’Oreal product – Color Riche lipstick.

The Idol E05 (Jocelyn Forever)

Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) is getting ready to go on stage for her much-anticipated comeback.

On her dressing table there’s a bottle of Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% vitamin C brightening serum.

The lip pencil she uses is Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat, possibly in Foxy Brown.

From a different angle we can see an Ouai hair conditioner, too.

When she finally meets Tedros (The Weekend), we can see a bottle of Etat Libre d’Orange Rien Intense Incense behind her. This amber woody fragrance was launched in 2014.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to Jack Mason for the Etat Libre d’Orange id.

The White Lotus S02E04 (In the Sandbox)

Ethan and Harper’s hotel bathroom seems to be the place where meaningful conversations between husband and wife happen, but also the place where dramatic epiphanies happen (in this case Harper suspects Ethan has cheated on her).

The products seen in this scene have already been featured in the previous episodes.

The pump bottle contains Ortigia Ambra Nera bath and shower gel.

There’s also an Ortigia Gattopardo room fragrance diffuser.

The jar contains Clarins Hydra-Essentiel rich cream.

Not a perfume or a skincare product, but I just love the tray where two glasses sit. It’s another Ortigia product: it’s lacquered and handmade.

The White Lotus S02E03 (Bull Elephants)

While Tanya is busy with a tarot reader, her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) is asked to leave and go to the bathroom. This is a rare occasion in which we can take a look at the products that the most desperate character of the show uses.

The two Ortigia products we see on the marble counter – the Zagara room essence and the Bergamotto eau de parfum – are courtesy of the hotel.

Tanya uses another Italian product – the Aquatic Mint toothpaste by Marvis.

Her skincare includes two products by Eve Lom – the Radiance face oil and the Time Retreat radiance essence.

It’s nice to see the unmistakable blue bottle of an Italian drugstore staple – Roberts Acqua distillata alle rose.

Probably the most surprising item here is her fragrance of choice. Tanya wears Paco Rabanne Pure XS, an amber floral fragrance by Quentin Bisch launched in 2018. I expected her to wear something bolder and probably more nostalgic.
