Among the objects on Abigail dresser, there’s a bottle of Crabtree & Evely Summer Hill body lotion.


The frosted glass bottle with a swan on it is something special: the French brand Payot launched Pavlova in 1977 as a homage to the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who happened to be the main source of inspiration for Nadia Payot, founder of the brand. This woody/white floral fragrance was actually inspired to a 1922 perfume. No wonder that a swan decorates the bottle: Pavlova performed The Dying Swan, a solo choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to Camille Saint-Saëns’s Le Cygne almost 4,000 times. Furthermore, the ballerina owned a real swan, Jack, whom she loved dearly.



Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the perfume id.
Kitty’s perfume counter is packed with Jean Patou fragrances. We can see several bottles of Joy and three smaller bottles.
One of the most famous white floral perfumes, Joy was created by Henri Almeras and launched in 1930.
Colony, launched in 1938, is another creation by Almeras. The bottle originally had a peculiar pineapple shape.
The miniature on the left is another Patou perfume, but it’s impossible to tell which. This bottle, with rounded shoulders and stopper, was used for several fragrances. The fourth season of the show is set in 1928, so we can make some assumptions: it could be Amour Amour, Que sais je? or Adieu Sagesse (all launched in 1925) or even Chaldee (launched in 1927). The point is that these assumptions are not really correct: Joy is widely shown in this scene, which is historically inaccurate (the perfume was launched in 1930, two years after the events told in the season), so the miniature above could actually contain any Patou perfume, even one launched after 1928.

Later in the episode, a poster for Joy can be seen. Le parfum roi had a simple bottle decorated with gold leaf and gold thread around the bottle.
Emily goes through Celeste’s bathroom cabinet, so we can see some interesting beauty items.


There’s a Make Up For Ever Ultra HD liquid foundation and a Dr. Hauschka facial toner. The copper-topped bottle is by Distillery General: the perfume is Strawberry Vine.

The product the girl puts on herself is L’Oreal Color Riche Extraordinaire liquid lipcolour in a nude shade.
Thanks to Fragrantica’s Pepperjune for the perfume id.
When Marilyn Miglin (Judith Light) receives a visit from the FBI in Miami, she’s getting ready to go on air with her shopping program.

On the left there are some products (hydrating bath and shower gel and cooling body lotion) and boxes from the Destiny line.
At the centre and on the right there are some boxes and products from the 112 line; among them, a bottle of hydrating bath and shower gel.



Other 112 products can be seen while she’s arranging items on a counter: there’s the eau de parfum, the body lotion and the rollerball eau de parfum.

After being among the protagonists of the third episode, Marilyn Miglin (Judith Light) is featured in the season finale, too. As a businesswoman incredibly devoted to her job, she never misses her obligations, even when she gets the news that Andrew Cunanan has killed Gianni Versace.
In the scene where she’s working on tv, lots of products of her brand can be seen. Most of them are from the Destiny line.



From left to right we see the renewal body lotion, the hydrating bath and shower gel and the cooling body lotion (third bottle from the left in the picture above).



There are some fragrances, too: the pink Pyjama Lily, the column-like bottle of Pheromone Musk, a bottle of Magic (more about it later) and Passionate.





Almost all the products on the right part of the picture are, again, from the Destiny line: bath and body oil, eau de parfum, crystalline dusting powder, body butter and another bottle of eau de parfum.

Finally, the faceted bottle at the top right part of the picture is Destiny Callalily.


Magic is something special. Marilyn explains it’s the fragrance someone like her father (who died when she was young) would give to someone like her mother (who took care of her family by herself) as a love token. The scene is very touching and beautifully emphasizes how positive feelings can still be true, despite the senseless tragedy of this world.

There’s a can of L’Oreal Elnett strong-hold hairspray in Marilyn Miglin’s dressing room.


There’s a bottle of Estee Lauder Youth Dew perfume on the dresser in Johnny Vohden’s bedroom. The warm spicy fragrance, created in 1953 by Josephine Catapano, was the first released by the American cosmetic brand.

The Youth Dew iconic ribbed bottle with the golden ribbon can be seen when Johnny takes his Vietnam War tags from his wife’s jewellery box.
A refillable atomiser of Chanel No. 5 can be seen on the dresser, too.


There’s a bottle of Polo by Ralph Lauren eau de toilette on Andrew Cunanan’s dresser. The aromatic fragrance, launched in 1978, was created by Carlos Benaim.
Sophie (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Annabelle (Jane Adams) are getting ready for their theatre performance. Sophie is using Urban Decay Naked Basics palette for her eye make-up.


Annabelle is not doing her make-up but there are a NARS lipstick and L.A. Looks Mega Mega hairspray on her dressing table.
