Sirens E05 (Siren Song)

Leave a comment

Devon (Meghann Fahy) and her father Bruce (Billy Camp) are getting ready to attend Kiki’s gala. In the room where a tailor is fitting Bruce’s suit there are the same bottles seen on Devon’s vanity.

The blush pink bottle sitting on the table on the left is Givenchy Irresistible, a musky rose fragrance by Fanny Bal, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo, launched in 2020.

On the table on the right there’s L’Interdit eau de parfum, a white floral creation by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal, launched in 2018.

Right in front of it there’s Givenchy L’Interdit eau de parfum rouge, launched in 2021.

Last, a Caron fragrance in the trademark ring round bottle. The front label cannot be read, though, so we don’t know what fragrance it contains.

Sirens E02 (Talons)

1 Comment

When Devon (Meghann Fahy) realises that surrendering to Kiki’s influence is the best she can do to help her own sister Simone (Kiki’s personal assistant), she’s up for a wild ride. The over-controlling billionaire decides what clothes and accessories Devon will wear while staying at the Cliff House, and packs a dressing table with fragrances, cosmetics and skincare, too. Nothing is actually in tune with Devon’s style and personality, but that is not the point: once one enters Kiki’s orbit, they have to passively accept her choices and decisions.

From left to right, here’s what I can see on the table.

The blush pink bottle is Givenchy Irresistible, a musky rose fragrance by Fanny Bal, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo, launched in 2020.

Next, there’s a Caron fragrance in the trademark ring round bottle. The front label cannot be read, though, so we don’t know what fragrance it contains.

It’s unclear whether Givenchy is Kiki’s brand of choice for fragrances, but she surely loves it for her guests. Half hidden among several bottles there’s L’Interdit eau de parfum [1], a white floral creation by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal, launched in 2018.

There’s also the Rouge version of the aforementioned eau de parfum. This was launched in 2021.

On the right side of the table there are several skincare products. Among them, the eye and expression cream Genaissance de la Mer™ (in the jar) and a bottle of La Mer The Essential Tonic.

Even though the screencap above is blurry, it clearly shows the presence of three Givenchy jars containing loose powder.

The small one on the left is Blush Prisme Libre in Mousseline Lilas.

Just below there’s a jar of Prisme Libre loose powder in Mousseline Acidulée.

On the far right side of the table there’s another jar of Prisme Libre loose powder in Organza Ambré.

[1] The original L’Interdit is a floral aldehyde fragrance by Francis Fabron launched in 1957. It was created in 1956 for Audrey Hepburn, who initially opposed Hubert de Givenchy’s decision to market it; when she finally lifted her ban, the designer named it after her forbidding. As a matter of fact, the French word “interdit” means “forbidden” in English.

The claim in the 1957 advert perfectly sums up its origin.

MDNA SKIN (2014)

Leave a comment

In 2014 Madonna launched the skincare line MDNA SKIN in Japan, first as a limited-time exclusive store in Tokyo and later as a country-wide release. In March of the same year she released an introductory video, where a very interesting perfume find can be seen on a glass shelf. 

It’s a Caron splash bottle, used since the 1930s by the French brand to house several fragrances. There’s no front label on it, so there’s no way for us to know what it contains. Spotting such an historical design, in the presence of Madonna no less, is a treat, though.

The tall rectangular bottle next to it is another historical product – the revitalising essence Eudermine by Shiseido, first launched in 1897.

Alessandro Michele’s Perfume Collection (2019)

2 Comments

Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele published this picture in his Instagram Stories some days ago. It’s unclear whether all these perfumes belong to him or to somebody else, but nonetheless let’s bask in the beauty of this nocturnal shot.Starting from the left, I’ve spotted Xaris, a frankincense resinous fragrance by the Florentine brand Aquaflor.

Then there’s a French classic: Snob by Le Galion, originally created by Paul Vacher and launched in the 1950s. This is the new version by Thomas Fontaine, launched in 2014.

Next there’s a Baccarat splash bottle containing a Caron perfume. This bottle has been used since the 1930s for many different fragrances. Without a front label it’s impossible to say what perfume is sitting on Alessandro Michele’s table.

Last, there’s Rodin Olio Lusso for Women, a white floral fragrance created in 2012 by David Seth Moltz and Kavi Moltz.

Several Caron bottles can be seen in the beauty department. Two types of bottles are displayed: one is made all of glass, with tall rectangular stopper; the other is made of dotted glass with gold fluted stopper. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to tell what scents they contain. On the contrary, we know the black bottle in the box is Nuit de Noël, a floral fragrance created by Ernest Daltroff and launched in 1922.
