Bugonia (2025)

Among the several products in Michelle’s bathroom I can see:

The tall blue bottle with bronze stopper is Augustinus Bader The Cream Cleansing Gel.

Right in front of her there’s a tube of Chanel La Mousse camellia cleansing cream-to-foam.

On the right side of the sink there’s a pump bottle of Byredo hand wash. Too bad it’s impossible to read the exact name on the front of the bottle.

Electra (2024)

Milo (Jack Farthing) is putting a bandage on Dylan’s hand. They’re sitting in a bathroom, so we can see some interesting products on the counter surrounding the washbasin.

The pale green pump bottle is Ortigia Fico shower gel, one of the items included in an oval gift set. Another product belonging to the same set is Fico soap, here seen boxed.

There’s another Ortigia product – a perfume diffuser. It’s impossible to tell what fragrance this is, because all the diffusers by this brand have the same bottle design.

Reflected in the mirror, we can see a tube of Marvis Ginger Mint toothpaste.

As Good As It Gets (1997)

Obsessive-compulsive disorders can have different forms and expressions. In the case of Melvin (Jack Nicholson), it’s keeping his bathroom cabinet stocked with Neutrogena soap bars and using more than one to wash his hands.

Melvin uses the transparent facial bar – fragrance-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic.

Silent Night (2021)

Twins Hardy and Thomas are taking a bath. On the white dresser on the left there are several products by Ortigia, a Florence-based company founded in 2006 by English enterpreneur Sue Townsend (one of the founders of Crabtree & Evelyn in 1968).

The amber pump bottle with palms printed on it is Zagara liquid soap.

The turquoise box contains almond soap, while the pale blue one contains Florio soap.

Last, the beautiful round tin box contains Florio body cream.

Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)

Martin is an abusive and controlling husband. His wife Laura takes advantage of a stormy evening sail to fake her own death and leave him. But he eventually finds her thanks to a phone call he receives from Vanessa, a woman who took swimming lessons with Laura at YWCA.

When Martin gets home, he obsessively looks for signs of Laura’s staged death. The bathroom has an important function: after cutting his finger, he gets close to the toilet and there, at the bottom, he finds Laura’s wedding ring, which she got rid of before leaving. Most of the products in the bathroom cabinets are by Crabtree & Evelyn, a British brand founded in 1968.

The seashell object is Crabtree & Evelyn sea shell soap with jojoba oil.

The round plastic box is Jean Couturier Coriandre dusting powder. This fragrance, a creation by Jacqueline Couturier, Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Gerard Pelpel, was first launched in 1973.

It’s hard to say if the Crabtree & Evelyn Aloe Vera box contains a bath & shower gel, a talcum powder shaker or another product of that line.

In the cabinet there are two boxes of Crabtree & Evelyn chamomile and Swiss glicerine soap.

There’s also a box of Crabtree & Evelyn Extract of West Indian and Sicilian Limes.

The round box with violets contains a perfumed glycerine soap by Crabtree & Evelyn.

Last, there’s a bottle of Johnson’s baby oil.

Thanks to Jennifer for the Jean Couturier id.

The Boys in the Band (1970)

theboysintheband_bornunicorn (1)

Michael (Kenneth Nelson) buys some toiletries for Donald (Frederick Combs), so he can have his own toothbrush, soap and hairspray without using his host’s.

The “sandalwood soap” Michael buys is by Elizabeth Arden. In the cabinet there’s also a Bain de Soleil spray sunscreen (or after-sun lotion).
