American Horror Story S05E05 (Room Service)
The flashback scene, set in 1984, explaining the metamorphosis of the medical sales representative Nick Pryor (Denis O’Hare) into Liz Taylor is the center of the episode. The Countess (Lady GaGa) doesn’t turn Nick into a vampire, but convinces him to embrace his real self. “You smell like a woman,” she says and he’s not convinced yet: “It’s Paco Rabanne”, he replies, thus stressing the fact that he still clinging to the idea of himself as a man.
The perfume Nick wears is classic men’s fragrance, an aromatic fougère created by Jean Martel and launched in 1973. According to Fragrantica, its top notes are rosemary, clary sage and brazilian rosewood; middle notes are tonka bean, lavender and geranium; base notes are honey, amber, musk and oakmoss.

During an interview Tina Turner (Angela Bassett) did in 1964, we can get a glimpse of her dressing table, on which I spotted a bottle of Christian Dior Eau Fraîche. This citrus fragrance was created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1953.
This is the interview that the real Tina Turner did in 1964. Like in the film, Ike Turner was sitting there, but didn’t say a word.

Mommy (2014)
Diane (Anne Dorval) wears a classic men’s fragrance by Christian Dior – Eau Sauvage. She hasn’t bought it (most of the time she’s broke), but she’s using the leftovers of a bottle her uncle gave her. If she could buy perfume, she would probably wear something overtly sexy and feminine, but the Dior perfume strangely suits her. Her son Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon) loves it: “You smell like fucking heaven,” he comments.
Eau Sauvage, famous for its fresh citrusy notes on a woody base, was created by Edmond Roudnitska and introduced in 1966.
