The British singer posted this picture on her Instagram account last October, while touring North America. On her dressing table there are a Diptyque candle (Figuier) and a hand-crafted candle holder with bakelite candle stand, the beautiful Photophore Côtes.


When Susie (Alex Borstein) goes to B. Altman to fetch Midge and take her to an evening gig, we can see a big factice bottle on a counter. Despite the hot pink liquid in it, the bottle is clearly recognizable: it’s Hermès Calèche sans the ribbon around the neck.



There are three products from Helena Rubinstein Men’s Club 52 line in the bathroom where M. the President (Gian Maria Volontè), is taking a bath, assisted by his wife Giacinta (Mariangela Melato). The two frosted glass bottles are after-shave lotions, while the black bottle on the left is a deodorant.

Monica (Claudia Pandolfi) is a character with a few contradictions: a former athlete now married to the Lebanese ambassador to Italy, she could live without working but she does. Unable to leave her athlete career behind, she works as physical education teacher at an exclusive Roman high school. She’s an adult who has lots of regrets, so in the tv show she slowly falls into the trap of believing she can make up for lost time.

Despite her simple style, she likes living luxuriously, as shown by some objects in her bathroom. On the white shelves near the washbasin we can see two perfume bottles.

The one topped by a piece of white canvas is a Creed fragrance. Unfortunately there’s no way to see what perfume it contains, but the glass splash flacon by the British perfume house is unmistakable.

There’s also a travel bottle by Guerlain, now used to contain men’s fragrances. The front label is not that clear, but I want to believe it’s dark green, which means the perfume is Vetiver, originally created by Jean-Paul Guerlain, launched in 1961 and re-launched in 2000.
It’s unclear whether this is Monica’s bathroom or if she shares it with her husband. In any case, I could see her wearing Vetiver, a perfume which appeals to her active and unconventional side.



In the screencaps above a bottle of Cerruti 1881 can be seen. The floral powdery perfume, launched in 1995, was created by Claire Cain.
DI Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) uses Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa deodorant.





There are three classic American drugstore products in Tom Townsend’s bathroom: an Old Spice stick deodorant and the original cologne, and a can of Barbasol shaving cream.

There’s a bottle of Roberts Acqua distillata alle rose (the most popular Italian rosewater) on Silvia Hacherman’s vanity.

Norma Boss (Cecilia Roth) uses Chanel make-up: in the screencap above, a Rouge Coco lipstick in a pale coral shade.

She uses a Chanel compact (a blush or a powder) to check her make-up.
