Friends S02E02 (The One With The Breast Milk)
Joey (Matt LeBlanc) is working as cologne spritzer at a menswear shop. On the counter behind him bottles of Bijan perfumes in different sizes are visible.
There are bottles of DNA For Men and For Women, a factice bottle of Bijan Women eau de parfum (made of glass) and Bijan Women eau de toilette (the one with the white stopper).
Body Double (1984)
Porn actress Holly Body (Melanie Griffith) has a refined taste for perfumes, as shown by what is sitting on her dressing table.
The almost empty bottle with black stopper is Giorgio Armani Armani, a chypre floral perfume created by Ron Winnegrad in 1982.
The red box with gold accents is unmistakably the packaging of Yves Saint Laurent Opium, one of the most famous perfumes of all times, hugely popular in the 1980s. Created by Jean Amic, Raymond Chaillan and Jean-Louis Sieuzac and launched in 1977, it redefined the concept of oriental spicy perfume.
Ocean’s Eight (2018)
Debbie keeps some toiletries and a picture of her brother Danny (George Clooney) on her desk.
The bright green bottle is Deva Curl styling cream (old packaging).
The perfume is Jo Malone Amber & Lavender cologne.
The orange and white bottle is Bumble and bumble styling creme.
Ocean’s Eight (2018)
Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) uses Marc Jacobs Enamored hi-shine gloss lip lacquer. From how it looks in the tube, the colour could be Ch-Ch-Changes (plum with blue and green shimmer).
Red Dragon (2002)
Has anyone ever listed the ways Dr. Lecter hates Old Spice after-shave? The popular shaving lotion is mentioned in the 1981 novel by Thomas Harris and ever since. All the Hannibals we’ve seen on tv or on the silver screen have expressed their hatred for it: the one played by Brian Cox in Manhunter (1985) by Michael Mann, Anthony Hopkins in the 2002 film and Mads Mikkelsen in the NBC tv show.
For such a refined character, Old Spice is a symbol of uncouthness and carelessness. “Something a child would select,” the doctor remarks with what I think is a pinch of envy: Will has a family; someone who loves him always selects this perfume for him, even if it’s atrocious, something that Lecter will never experience.
Tamara Drewe (2010)
There’s Lancôme Galatéis Douceur facial cleanser in the room where the protagonist (Gemma Arterton) is taking a bath.
Suspiria (2018)
There’s a bottle of Wella Balsam instant hair conditioner in the dressing room at the Markos Tanz-Akademie
Sharon Tate’s Eye Make-Up Products
In November 2018, the Hollywood auction house Julien’s Auctions will present an important event: many personal belongings of the American actress Sharon Tate will be auctioned. One of the most promising stars of the 1960s, Tate had a taste for refined and trendy clothes and a unique make-up style. This year marks the 50th anniversary of her brutal death by the hand of the infamous Charles Manson’s Family.
The auction will include some of the make-up items she used, among which Revlon black and white eye pencils, a Maybelline eyebrow pencil. The Aida de Leon gold tube was probably a mascara. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any information about this brand: it would have been interesting to know more about it. I think it was a brand of professional make-up for theatre and cinema.
The other gold tube contains Helena Rubinstein Long-Lash mascara.
I love seeing Sharon applying her make-up. With a thin brush she drew a line in her eye sockets, so as to give depth and achieve a dramatic effect.
