A Guerlain flacon abeilles and a Caron bottle can be seen on the dressing table of Lady Mae Loxley (Katherine Kelly).
The iconic bee bottle was first introduced in 1828 for the Eau de Cologne Impériale, but was later used for colognes and eaux de toilettes, too.
There’s a tube of Burt’s Bees hand cream on the desk of an About the Fit employee.
A can of Borotalco talcum powder can be seen in the bathroom where Carla (Claudia Cardinale) is getting ready. This hugely popular product was created in 1874 in Florence by the pharmacist Henry Roberts.
There’s a bottle of Guerlain Shalimar eau de cologne (or eau de toilette) in the pharmacy where Alice gets some medicines. Even if it’s clearly stated that the story is set in the early 1980s, lots of details (especially costumes) reveal it’s actually a 1990s film. The presence of a footless chauve souris bottle is not historically accurate: it made its appearance in 1995 (three years before the film was directed), first used for the eau de toilette, later for the eau de cologne.
This is an example of “partial inconsistency,” in the sense that the perfume in question was not on the market at the time in which the story takes place, but it was at the time in which the film was shot.
Just before getting on stage and discovering the truth about Jake, Brooke Maddox (Carlson Young) checks her make-up on the mirror of a Sisley zebra-print compact, the blush duo Phyto-Blush Eclat.
Thanks to Ashley Walsh, the show’s make-up department head, for the id.
Several bottles of Floris perfume and a tin box of talcum powder can be seen on display in the cosmetics department.
There’s a bottle of Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta and a tube of Marvis Classic Strong Mint toothpaste in Marianne and Paul’s bathroom.
There are several Dr Hauschka bath products in the rehab facility Mary (Meg Ryan) goes to.
The iconic Christian Dior houndstooth perfume bottle appears on Martha’s hotel bathroom shelf while she’s in Rome with her father. The front label is not visible, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance she wore.
We should add Diorella to my list of “suspects”, since the floral-chypre perfume created by Edmond Roudnitska was launched in 1970.
The pink stick on the left is Max Factor Pan Stik foundation.
Thanks to Amy in the comments for the Max Factor id.
