Maxxxine (2024)

In one of the last scenes of the film, Maxxxine (Mia Goth) is sitting in front of her dressing table, ready to start filming a new movie. Among the skincare products and toiletries on the table, the bottle on the far left has caught my attention.

It’s a gorgeous bottle of Cartier Pasha de Cartier, a fresh spicy eau de toilette created by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 1992. As LePetitCivet has recently pointed out, this is a historically inaccurate choice because this fragrance was launched well after 1985, year in which Maxxxine is set [1].

On the far right side of the table there’s a jar of Pond’s cold cream.

Even in this case, the choice is not totally accurate: in the advert above you can see what the Pond’s jar looked like in 1985. In the film the jar has the new packaging, not the original.

[1] Prop masters never seem to get Pasha de Cartier right: you may remember I noticed the same mistake in the TV show Glow.

Shopgirl (2005)

shopgirl_bornunicorn (5)Lisa Cramer (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) is a bored sales assistant at the perfume counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Los Angeles. Let’s see what’s on her counter.

Bulgari BLV is presented in two versions: the blue and silver bottle is BLV Pour Homme (created by Alberto Morillas in 2001), while the blue bottle is BLV Absolute, launched in 2002.

There are many products by Boucheron. First, the body lotion and the perfumed dusting powder from the Boucheron Pour Femme line.

On the right side of the counter there are several skincare products by Lancôme – two make-up removers (Bi-Facil and Effacil, in the dark blue bottle) and two toners (Tonique Douceur and Tonique Controle).
