Jade (1995)

jade_bornunicornMatt exposes Trina’s affairs by displaying pictures of them on her vanity. It’s a cruel and dramatic scene, but it gives us the chance to see some of the beauty products she uses.

Copycat (1995)

valentinoclassic_bornunicornThe first thing that has caught my attention is the perfume on the left – the 1980s classic Valentino. Created by Pierre Dinand and first launched in 1979, is a floral powerhouse. I still remember when my mother wore it: I was in heaven because it smelled amazing on her.

The Two Faces of January (2014)

thetwofacesofjanuary_bornunicorn

annickgoutal_bornunicornThere’s a bottle of Annick Goutal perfume in the MacFarlands’ hotel bathroom. The fluted bottle with the gold stopper and white paper label is the trademark of the French brand; too bad this choice is historically inaccurate. As a matter of fact, Goutal opened her first boutique in 1981, almost twenty years after the story told in the film (set in 1962).

The dressing table in Lucy Carrigan’s bedroom is pretty busy, but one bottle has caught my attention – the third from the left.

il_fullxfull.722925921_7au2The label and the golden bow mean one thing only: Annick Goutal. It’s not the trademark fluted bottle, but the squared one, which I believe can be dated back to the late 1980s. It’s impossible to read the paper label, so we can only assume it could be Gardenia Passion (created by Goutal herself after a trip to Japan and launched in 1989), Eau d’Hadrien (the first fragrance of the French maison, created by Goutal and Francis Camail and launched in 1981) or Eau de Charlotte (created by Goutal for her step-daughter and launched in 1982). I’m not sure if other scents were released in squared bottles, though.
