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

Leave a comment

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.

Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado (2020)

2 Comments

This documentary presents the aenigmatic and fascinating life of the astrologer Walter Mercado, who was interviewed in his home in Puerto Rico. There’s a domestic shot that piqued my interest, because many beauty products can be seen.

The black and white box is Frulatte Hyalunol anti-aging cream.

There’s also a No.7 box from the Restore and Renew line (old packaging).

The tall plastic bottle is Shea Moisture coconut and hibiscus brightening body lotion.

The polka dot box with gold details contains Carolina Herrera perfume, a white floral creation by Carlos Benaim, Clement Gavarry and Rosendo Mateu, launched in 1988.

The white and grey box is SkinSolve Tighter Clearer Younger anti-aging charcoal overnight cream.

And then there’s a box of Calvin Klein Obsession, the warm spicy fragrance created by Jean Guichard and launched in 1985. I personally thought Walter would have worn something more classic (Shalimar, maybe?), but Obsession is mysterious yet comforting, a description that could well be applied to Walter himself.

Thanks to Scentimentalist for the body lotion and Carolina Herrera ids.

There’s a bottle of Calvin Klein Obsession on the dressing table in Clay’s mother’s bedroom. This oriental spicy fragrance was created by Jean Guichard and launched in 1985.

The white box under the glass counter is a product from the Chanel No. 5 body line: I couldn’t find any picture of it, but I guess it contained a jar, so it could be an after-bath powder, a body cream or even a set of soaps.
