guerlain_mitsouko_bornunicornKitty Hawkins (Amy Beth Hayes) is mad at Frank Edwards (Samuel West): he tries to make up with her and visits the make-up counter at Selfridges. He asks for advice: he wants to give something special to someone special (her ;)). She plays along: she suggests “a new perfume” by Guerlain, which happens to be Mitsouko in the traditional flacon bouchon coeur. This is a historically accurate choice, because the perfume was created in 1919, around the time in which the tv show is set.

How to Get Away with Murder S03E13 (It’s War)

howtogetawaywithmurder_s03e13_bornunicorn

elizabetharden_untold_bornunicornSeveral medicine bottles can be seen in Bonnie’s bathroom cabinet, along with a perfume bottle – Elizabeth Arden Untold, a fruity floral perfume created by Clement Gavarry and launched in 2013. It’s quite surprising that such a hard character wears such a girly perfume, but the ways in which we choose perfumes are often inscrutable.

howtogetawaywithmurder_s03e13_bornunicorn-2aveeno_clearcomplexiondailymoisturiser_bornunicornWe can also see a bottle of Aveeno Clear Complexion daily moisturiser.
