Velvet (Alice Eve) wears a NARS Velvet Matte lip pencil. Judging from the last screencap, the exact shade could be Dragon Girl.
Alibi na vodě (1965)
While the Director (Otomar Krejča) is filming a new documentary, he meets up with the model Zuzana (Ivana Striničová) in a boathouse and gives her Guerlain Chant d’Arômes as a gift. This is one of those rare cases in which the name of the perfume is actually mentioned (Zuzana tries to read its name on the bottle, but the Director corrects her with a good French pronunciation).
This is the Flacon Chant d’Arômes, produced by Pochet du Courval. The chypre perfume contains notes of white flowers (gardenia, jasmine, honeysuckle, ylang-ylang) and is the first solo creation of Jean-Paul Guerlain; launched in 1962, it was addressed to a young audience, in an attempt to bring new energy and a youthful spirit into the brand. According to Monsieur Guerlain, the bottle “was inspired by the design of a Florentine vase. It came with a green velvet ribbon, like the ones young girls used to wear around their necks — a romantic nod to youth and purity.” It seems appropriate that the Director gives Zuzana such a youthful, yet classy, perfume.
The credit of this id goes to the lovely Monika, the mind behind the perfume blog Guerlinade, who posted a screencap of the film on her Instagram account, thus sparking my obsession with it.
Claudia Cardinale’s Dressing Table (1963)
There’s a bottle of Roberts rosewater on Claudia Cardinale’s dressing table. The film director, Luchino Visconti, was sitting by her side, checking her hairstyle. The picture was taken by Angelo Frontoni on the set of Il Gattopardo.
Younger S01E05 (Girl Code)
Diana Trout (Miriam Shor) is a business woman with an expensive taste for clothes and fashion accessories (especially Louboutin shoes and Judith Leiber limited-edition bags); no wonder she uses high-end make-up products.
In this scene we can see her putting on Dior Rouge Dior lipstick in a red shade and using the mirror of a Dior compact.
The lipstick is a neutral/cool shade of red, so it could be Cannage, 999 or Rouge Massaï.
Lena Hall’s Dressing Room (2014)
The American actress and singer Lena Hall published this picture on her Instagram account. She was dressed as Yitzhak, one of the protagonists of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. She had this role in the musical’s revival on Broadway, thanks to which she won a Tony Award as Best Featured Actress in a Musical in 2014. In the picture she was holding a bottle of Dior Fahrenheit and in the caption she mused: “Want to know Yitzhak smell?”. I don’t know if she really wore the perfume on stage, but the iconic woody Dior perfume would have been perfect for her character.
Marc Almond’s Dressing Room (2015)
I love when Marc Almond posts on his Instagram account the dressing rooms he visits while on tour. Today he posted this picture, taken yesterday at the Assembly Hall in Turnbridge Wells. The first item which has caught my attention is the beautiful silver Cannage compact by Dior, which could contain Diorskin Nude Tan sun powder or Diorskin Nude Air compact powder.
A tin of Vaseline Original Lip Therapy lip salve can be seen in the transparent make-up case and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in a box on the table.
Thanks to my reader Sara for the MAC id.
Homeland S01E02 (Grace)
Lynne Reed (Brianna Brown) is a consort of Prince Farid Bin Abbud (Amir Arison) of Saudi Arabia. In this episode, she’s in Washington D.C., interviewing young women for the Prince’s harem. This is just a disguise, because she’s actually a CIA informant. As such, she meets Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) at a spa. In this scene, you can see two beautiful Guerlain Meteorites Voyage compacts.
Orange Is The New Black S02E03 (Hugs Can Be Deceiving)
Vaseline petroleum jelly and Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth deodorant in Taystee’s bunk.
Electric Slide (2014)
Northern Exposure S03E01 (The Bumpy Road to Love)
The protagonists of this scene are Maggie (Janine Turner) and Joanne (Cathryn De Prume). They have one thing in common – Rick Pederson, Maggie’s ex-boyfriend who cheated on her several times. Joanne travels to Cicely (Alaska) to see the unveiling of a statue commemorating Rick’s death. Later, they meet at a bar and have the following conversation.
“And I believe this is yours,” says Joanne, and gives Maggie a bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Opium (the original bottle, with glass stopper and black tassel).
“My Opium?”, asks Maggie.
“It’s a bit strong for my taste. I like something in the more delicate side.”
“Calèche.”
“Yes! He gave you my Calèche?”
“Last Christmas.”
Rick’s mistake – giving his girlfriends the wrong perfumes – makes his cheating habit perfectly clear.
