Maria’s Lovers (1984)

2 Comments

There are two interesting products on the mantelpiece in the room where the protagonist (Nastassja Kinski) is getting ready.

The first is a perfume box by Dana. The name of the perfume is impossible to read: I believe it’s Tabu, the legendary “parfum de puta” created by Jean Carles and launched in 1932. The film is set in 1946, though, so the box could contain other Dana perfumes – the chypre fruity 20 Carats (1933), the amber Emir (launched in 1935) and the floral Chantilly (1941).

The other product is a round cardboard box of Coty Airspun loose face powder.

There’s a Diptyque Baies box on a glass shelf in Limi’s bathroom, a space which features mosaics on the walls and a gorgeous flamingo wallpaper.

When Limi is reunited with her lover Tamio (Tadanobu Asano), we can see that the Diptyque candles by the washbasin are Baies (two of them), Roses and another one which I can’t identify because the front label is not visible. From the colour of the wax I think it could be Opopanax.

From a first, quick glimpse at Limi’s dressing table in E03, the only perfume that stands out is J’Adore, the 1999 Calice Becker creation for Dior, but there’s more.

Thankfully in E09 we get it! On the left side of Limi’s table there’s a Lalique Clairfontaine bottle with the beautiful lily-of-the-valley stopper.

The white box contains a bottle of Christian Louboutin nail polish.

J’Adore makes another appearance, along with Chanel No. 5.

The lovely apple-shaped bottle of Lolita Lempicka can be seen on Limi’s table, too. This is not a surprising choice, because this fruity gourmand fragrance, created by Annick Menardo and launched in 1997, suits the photographer’s personality.

The purple balloon bottle next to Lolita Lempicka is Lanvin Éclat d’Arpège, created by Karine Dubreuil and launched in 2002.

Last, there’s a box of Guerlain Météorites powder pearls.

Thanks to missanneiv for first telling me about this show.

Une belle fille comme moi (1972)

The bathroom where Camille (Bernadette Lafont) is sitting to apply nail polish on her toenails is full of interesting perfumes.

The first bottle on a shelf above the washbasin is Robert Piguet Cravache eau de toilette, a citrus fragrance launched in 1963.

Guerlain Habit Rouge eau de cologne in the red bottle sits on the same shelf. This version of the amber woody fragrance by Jean-Paul Guerlain was launched in 1965.

Habit Rouge eau de cologne in the clear glass bottle can be seen on another shelf behind Camille.

Other three perfume bottles can be seen in this scene.

On the washbasin shelf there’s Helena Rubinstein Men’s Club 52 eau de cologne.

A Chanel bottle on the second shelf. It’s impossible to read the front label, but it could be the Eau de Cologne Pour Monsieur.

Same location for Jean Patou Lacoste Eau de Sport in the metal canister. This fragrance, launched in 1967, was created by Jean Kerleo.

Thanks to lepetitcivet for the Patou id.

In the Turners’ attic there’s a round tray with some bottles, snow globes and other items covered in dust. The bottle that attracts (and surprises) me the most is the blue one made of glass, a Guerlain product.

It’s a soothing toner from the Odélys line, launched in the early 1990s for the needs of sensitive and weakened skin. Now discontinued, it had an elegant teal packaging.

I’ve spotted many Guerlain products through the years but never one from this line, which is surprising. I perfectly remember when it first came out; needless to say, I was in love with its packaging, which at the time looked impossibly cool (and still does).

The pale pink jar contains Dew of Roses skin softener by Avon.

The tall bottle next to the Wedgwood-style jar is Caron Bain de Champagne (now Royal Bain de Caron), an Ernest Daltroff fragrance first launched in 1923.

Thanks to Alessandra for the screencap and to Kelly in the comments for the Avon and Caron ids.

The products that Geum‑ja Lee (Lee Young‑ae) has on her mirrored dressing table are by Iope, a South-Korean brand founded in 1996.

Even if the packaging has changed since then, I think the white bottles could be from the Whitegen Intensive line, which was first launched in 1998.

The purple bottles are harder to identify. At the moment the lines that have purple packaging are Plant Stem Cell, Age Corrector and Stem III, launched in the 2010s. It could be an old product from the Retinol line, launched in 1997.

After performing at a ball, Pray Tell (Billy Porter) sits at his dressing table and removes his make-up.

The frosted glass bottle with gold stopper is a fragrance by Officina Profumo S. Maria Novella. Too bad we can’t say what scent it is.

There’s also a Hydrabase lipstick by Chanel.

Pray Tell (Billy Porter) and Blanca (MJ Rodriguez) are getting ready for their performance at a ball. There are many products on the dressing table they’re sitting at.

The liquid foundation bottle with white stopper is Maxi by Max Factor.

The green jar with white lid is Pinaud Clubman styling gel.

There’s also a tube of Softsheen-Carson Magic razorless cream shave.

Next to it there’s a pump bottle of Palmer’s cocoa butter formula moisturizing hand wash.
