Endeavour S02E03 (Sway)

endeavour_s02e03_bornunicorn (1)atkinsonscalifornianpoppy_bornunicornMrs. Haldane, one of the victims of a mysterious strangler, had a very busy dressing table. Among her perfumes, there’s a bottle of Californian Poppy, a fragrance by Josephine Kell Ltd. The picture above refers to the 1940s version of the perfume, while the bottle seen in the tv show has a different shape and a different lettering on the front label.

worthjereviens_cologne_bornunicornThe round bottle in front of Californian Poppy is the eau de cologne version of Worth Je Reviens, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Maurice Blanchet and launched in 1932.

patriciawexler_intensiveyecream_bornunicornWhen Rodrigo (Gael García Bernal) is thrown out of his apartment, he stays at Gloria’s. While she’s taking a shower, he goes through the beauty products sitting on her dressing table. Most of them are face creams and lotions.

Younger S01E11 (Hot Mitzvah)

younger_s01e11_bornunicorn dovedeepmoisturebodywash_bornunicornThere’s a bottle of Dove Deep Moisture nourishing body wash on Josh’s bath-tub. The label has been covered, so you can read “Park” and not the actual brand on it.

The same has been done to a tube of Noxzema Ultimate Clear daily scrub.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Noxzema id.
