The compact face powder that Tammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) uses is Love-Pat by Revlon.

Wonho’s Open Mind (2020)
In September 2020 the South Korean singer released a very stylish video for his single Open Mind. It’s not common to see perfumes featured in K-Pop music videos, so it was a nice surprise to see them here.
In close-up shots the front labels of perfumes are covered but that hasn’t stopped me from identify them.
The first bottle from the left is by Diptyque. It’s impossible to tell what fragrance it houses but it could be an eau de parfum, judging from the dark glass.
In the background the white stopper of Creed Love in White can be seen.
The gold bottle unmistakenly contains another Creed product – Millésime Imperial.
The aqua blue bottle houses Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
Last but not least, on the far right there’s the hot red bottle of Tom Ford Lost Cherry.
This shot features some of the bottles we’ve just seen but there’s more: the bottle on the far right – another Diptyque product – is shown sideways, so it’s possible to identify it from the label.
This spiral design can be found on the back label of the eau de toilette Eau de Sens.
We also get a couple of shots where two tables with the perfumes are fully visible. On the left table there’s a bottle of Jo Malone Cologne Intense. Too bad the front label cannot be read, so we don’t know exactly what scent it is.
The last shot shows other perfume bottles not previously shown.
On the left table there’s Tom Ford Black Orchid.
In front of it there’s another Creed fragrance – Aventus.

Zero S01E04
When Omar (Giuseppe Dave Seke) hides in Rico’s bathroom to escape his fury, we can see some perfume bottles on a shelf.
The white bottle is Camelia by L’Erbolario, an amber floral fragrance launched in 2014.
The tall powder pink bottle is Yves Saint Laurent Opium Vapeurs de Parfum in the eau de toilette lègère version, launched in 2012.
Last, the tall splash bottle with white plastic stopper is Rochas Madame Rochas eau de cologne. The eau de parfum version, created by Guy Robert, was launched in 1960.

The frosted pink lipstick that Tammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) is by Revlon.
The compact she uses to apply her lipstick is Jolie mosaic finishing bronzing powder.
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
A bottle of Old Spice original cologne can be seen in the grand concert hall restroom where Tom Ripley works as attendant.
Mr Selfridge S02E04
Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes) and Jessie (Sai Bennett) are collecting money for the Belgian Relief Fund, an international organization that supplied food to occupied Belgium and northern France during WWI.
Their counter is basically a display for Guerlain bottles.
Many of them are flacons abeilles, first used in 1828 to house the Eau de Cologne Impériale. The classic version of this bottle have the bees simply painted in gold enamel, while those with gold front label are the flacons abeilles dorées.
There are two flacons bouchon coeur, too. The choice is historically accurate because they first appeared in 1912; too bad one of these is a spray bottle, clearly not available at the time in which the tv show is set.
Last, there’s a flacon quadrilobe, another historically accurate choice because this bottle first appeared in 1908 to house the perfume Rue de la Paix, then used for the extraits of several fragrances.
The Night House (2021)
Weird Science (1985)
Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) and Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) are sampling perfumes at L. Magnin.
The refillable atomiser Gary is holding is Eau de Joy by Jean Patou, launched in the 1960s.
Wyatt is holding Cacharel Anais Anais, the romantic white floral scent created in 1978 by Roger Pellegrino, Robert Gonnon, Paul Leger and Raymond Chaillan.
The perfume counter displays other Patou perfumes – Eau de Joy in a splash bottle, 1000 in two sizes and a factice bottle of Joy in a black bottle with coral stopper. 1000, housed in a beautiful jade bottle, is a floral chypre perfume created by Jean Kerleo and launched in 1972. Joy, the “costliest perfume in the world”, was created by Henri Almeras and launched in 1930.
When the camera moves to the other side of the counter, other perfume bottles make their appearance. Right in front of the boys there are two Dior bottles.
The atomiser without stopper contains the eau de cologne version of Miss Dior, created by Paul Vacher and Jean Carles and launched in 1947.
The crystal bottle with brass stopper is kind of confusing: the front label looks white with dove grey details but it looks kind of pink, too. In any case, it’s the travel flacon containing the eau de parfum of Miss Dior (if we assume the front label is white) or Diorissimo (if we think it’s pink).
There’s also Pierre Balmain Ivoire de Balmain, another floral chypre fragrance, was created by Francis Camail and Michel Hy and launched in 1980. The white bottle was designed by Pierre Dinand.
Half hidden in one corner, there’s also Halston, housed in the Elsa Peretti-designed bottle. This creation by Bernard Chant was launched in 1975.

American Horror Story S10E09 (Blue Moon)
There’s a Guerlain flacon montre in Marilyn Monroe’s bedroom.
This is a very unusual choice because there’s no evidence that Marily wore Guerlain colognes. The reason behind this prop is easy to explain: Ryan Murphy is clearly a fan of this bottle and of the French brand; both have often been shown or quoted in his shows.
It’s not a historically accurate choice, though: the gold screw-cap stopper was first introduced in 1972, 10 years after the death of the American actress. In the 1960s flacons montre were available with the ground glass stopper.
[1] Marilyn’s name will forever be connected to Chanel No. 5, but she was a fan of the now-discontinued Rose Geranium eau de toilette by Floris.
