Signora Santini (Angela Pagano) is painting her nails with a coral nail polish by OPI. It’s hard to tell the exact shade used in the film, but Conga-Line Coral, from the South Beach spring/summer 2009 collection, could be a good guess.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
This is one of the most famous scenes from the Jonathan Demme film – the first time in which Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) meet. His reaction to her presence is eerie: there’s a thick perspex surface separating them, but he is able to detect, through the holes in the perspex, what she smells like. He smells “Evyan skin cream”; he also realizes she sometimes wears Nina Ricci L’air du temps, “but not today”.
Let’s focus on the first product – a body lotion – for a moment: by “Evyan” I believe Dr. Lecter is referring to the American brand’s most famous perfume, White Shoulders. Originally launched in 1945, it is a triumph of white flowers: it includes notes of gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley, orange flower and tuberose.
The second reference is pretty clear: Clarice sometimes wears the iconic perfume by Nina Ricci, created by Francis Fabron and released in 1948, a symbol of innocence (see the beautiful doves on the stopper). Among its middle notes, we can find jasmine and gardenia, so can we assume Clarice loves white floral perfumes?
Younger S01E08 (Sk8)
Liza (Sutton Foster) gets two L’Oreal hairsprays for her boss Diana (Miriam Shor) and mentions them! Bold Control is from the Lock It collection, while High Lift is from the Boost It collection.
Tamara Drewe (2010)
Casey (Charlotte Christie) sneaks into the protagonist’s house: she finds out her idol, rock-band drummer Ben Sergeant, uses Chanel Allure Homme and sprays it on her friend Jody.
On the mantelpiece in Tamara’s bedroom there’s a Jo Malone candle, too.
Jurassic Park (1993)
A can of Barbasol shaving cream is one of the most famous props in the 1993 film by Steven Spielberg. It actually had an important function in the story: Biosyn’s head of research Lewis Dodgson (Cameron Thor) wants to steal dinosaur embryos from InGen, so he contacts Jurassic Park’s computer programmer Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) and promises him $1,500,000 if he’s able to deliver what Biosyn wants. For this purpose, Dodgson gives Nedry a Barbasol can which hides a place to store the embryos. 
Smuggling the embryos out of the park is not easy, though: after stealing them, Nedry drives out of the park, but he has got a car accident and he’s eaten alive by a Dilophosaurus. The can rolls in the mud and is lost in the jungle.
Sons of Anarchy S06E08 (Los Fantasmas)
There’s an Orly nail polish (the old bottle, with the rubberized cap) on Tara’s bed-side table.
The lovely Gianna, the blogger behind Noveau Cheap, posted this id on her blog on January 2014. She was so kind to send me a link to her post as a contribution. Much appreciated ♥
Rocco’s Shaving Products
Here’s what my friend Rocco uses when he shaves. From left to right: Gillette classic shaving cream, Santa Maria Novella Melograno after-shave lotion and Melograno before-and-after shave cream.
He’s a fan of Santa Maria Novella products, which reminds me I need Melograno cologne in my collection. It’s been sitting in my perfume wish-list for years!
Some Velvet Morning (2013)
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.
