Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette E06 (The Wedding)

It’s 1996: when Carolyn (Sarah Pidgeon) decides to quit her job at Calvin Klein and breaks the news to her former employee, we can get a good look at the designer’s beautiful office. Just below one of the big windows, there’s a cabinet with some bottles on it. They happen to be some of Calvin Klein’s most popular fragrances.

Starting from the left, I can see Eternity, a white floral fragrance by Sophia Grojsman. It was launched in 1988.

Next, there are two bottles of CK One, the 1994 citrus aromatic fragrance by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont which defined the whole decade.

There are also two bottles of Obsession eau de parfum, a warm spicy fragrance by Jean Guichard launched in 1985.

Right in front of them, there’s the parfum version of the same fragrance, housed in a beautiful pebble-like bottle.

The cabinet in Ruby’s bathroom is pretty busy.

On the left there’s a box of Pond’s clear pore strips (the packaging in the film is older than the one in the picture above).

There’s also Pond’s deep pore foaming cleanser from the Clear Solutions line.

Her fragrance is not surprising at all – it’s Calvin Klein CK One. Created by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont and launched in 1994, this citrus aromatic scent became the symbol of a decade but also set a standard for a new type of fragrances.

The two bottles on the far right look like lip glosses but they are actually fragrances from the Bottled Emotion line by Bonne Bell. The scents are Lucky (blue bottle) and Shy (clear bottle).

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to Dipali for the Bonne Bell id.

Fear Street Part 3: 1666 (2021)

Deena (Kiara Madeira) is ready for the final battle against her archenemy, Sheriff Nick Goode. While hiding in a bathroom at the Shadyside Mall, she chooses Calvin Klein CK One to cover up her scent.

No surprises here: what other mainstream fragrance could a teenager choose for such a purpose in 1994? The citrus aromatic creation by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont was launched in that year: housed in a minimalistic flask, it took the fragrance world and the collective imagination by storm.

When Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.) hugs Deena, his comment on how she smells like will go down in history as the most accurate description of CK One. I have never felt like an “androgynous baby” when I wear it, but it really makes sense.
