Lena Dunham’s Bathroom (2014)

IMG_6088.JPG

IMG_6089Yesterday Lena Dunham posted this picture on her Instagram account. She wore her pajamas and Allstate Foundation Purple Purse bag, a symbol of what the foundation does – supporting domestic violence survivors and the organizations that serve them. She snapped the picture in her bathroom and I couldn’t help but notice an empty Chanel no. 5 giant factice next to the wash-basin. This type of bottle is used in shops for display and it is filled with coloured water, but I think it’s nice to keep in a bathroom, too, especially if you’re a fan of that perfume. So does this mean Lena is a Chanel no. 5 wearer? I wouldn’t be surprised if she were.

Giancarlo Giammetti, the honorary president of Valentino fashion house, posted this picture on his Instagram account. An elegant dresser, made of marble, glass and steel, “hides” a collection of ties; next to a luxuriant orchid pot, some perfumes can be seen. It looks like he’s a Serge Lutens fan; he certainly loves L’Eau Froide (there are two bottles of it). I’ve also spotted a Jo Malone bottle and Valentino’s latest men’s fragrance, Valentino Uomo.
