The Path S01E06 (Breaking and Entering)

Leave a comment

thepath_s01e06_bornunicornSara Lane (Michelle Monaghan) decides to visit her estranged sister Tessa when she’s not at home. She goes through the rooms of her beautiful New York apartment, bedroom included. On a dresser we get a very close view of some beauty products.

orlycolorblastsnowqueen_bornunicornnuxe_huileprodigieuse_bornunicornThe lip pencil is Bite Beauty High Pigment. I’m a bit on the fence when it comes to the exact shade. It could be Pomegranate, Cranberry or even Quince. The white nail polish is Orly Color Blast in Snow Queen from the Frozen collection. Last but not least, there’s a bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse multi-purpose dry oil, made of macadamia, hazelnut, borage, almond, camellia and St. John’s wort oils.

tumblr_o6bthciWjk1vnjq0wo3_540Sara is so fascinated by her sister’s lifestyle that she puts her lip colour on. Later, after visiting the bathroom and seeing all the anti-depressants her sister takes, she will change her mind.

Thanks to AllLacqueredUp‘s Michelle, Amber and VampyVarnish‘s Kelly for helping me with the nail polish id.

mapstothestars_bornunicorn (2)Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore) has got quite a perfume collection: the marble top of her dressing table is pretty busy.

isseymiyake_leaudissey_bornunicornOn the left, there’s a bottle of Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey, the perfume “as clear as water spring” created by Jacques Cavallier in 1992.

jeanpaulgaultier_femme_bornunicornThere’s another perfume by Cavallier, the iconic corset-shaped bottle of Jean-Paul Gaultier Classique, a sweet powdery scent launched in 1993.

Two Prada bottles can be seen, too. One is Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger, launched in 2009, and the other is Candy, created by Daniela Andrier and launched in 2011.

guccibygucci_bornunicornThere’s a bottle of Gucci by Gucci, a fruity fragrance created by Ilias Ermenidis in 2008.

chanelcocomademoiselle_bornunicornchanel_cocomademoiselleatomiser_bornunicornLast but not least, there are two versions of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, the oriental woody fragrance created by Jacques Polge and launched in 2001 – the classic bottle and the twist-and-spray white and gold atomiser.

boucheronfemme_bornunicornOne is the ring-shaped bottle of Boucheron Pour Femme, a white floral perfume created by Francis Deleamont and Jean-Pierre Bethouart in 1989.

The other one is the hot pink bottle of Creed Spring Flower, a fresh fruity and floral fragrance created for Audrey Hepburn by Olivier Creed (6th generation) and launched in 2006.

Les diaboliques (1955)

Leave a comment

lesdiaboliques_bornunicornNicole Horner (Simone Signoret) is a teacher at a private school, where she gets involved into a dangerous love triangle. She’s a cool plotter and an elegant lady: she navigates the stormy waters of the plot wearing trench coats, pencil skirt-shirt-cardigan combos, belted dresses and chic sunglasses. She’s a pragmatic woman, so it’s not a surprise that she uses eau de cologne as rubbing alcohol. In the scene above, she is about to give a sedative shot to poor Christina Delassalle and takes some liquid from a bottle sitting on a dresser.

The bottle in question happens to be a Coty one, with the trademark fluted details. We can’t identify the exact perfume from the front label or from the colour of the stopper (since the film was shot in black and white), but we can make some assumptions.

coty_cordonrouge_bornunicorn

coty_cordonvert_bornunicornJudging from the shape of the label, it could be the cologne Cordon Rouge or Cordon Vert, originally launched in the early 1900s. In the 1930s/1940s most of Coty colognes had this bottle, so this one could also contain L’aimant.

sonsofanarchy_s05e09_ottoperfume (6)Tara (Maggie Siff) visits Otto (Kurt Sutter) in hospital and brings him his favourite perfume, the one worn by his (now dead) lover Luann. Described by Gemma as smelling “like cum and patchouli,” it’s the only fragrance Otto wanted Luann to wear. No surprise he asks Tara to wear it for him. The scene where he sniffs her wrist is pure perfume fetishism, a very intimate moment.

There’s a bottle of L’Oreal Obao bubble bath on Jeanne’s bath tub. This product, advertised in France as “le bain de mousse à la japonaise”, was launched in 1963; its name was inspired to o-furo, the traditional Japanese bath.
