Rocketman (2019)

Elton John’s dressing table is very busy, but some perfume bottles stand out.

The round bottle on the left is a factice of Worth Je Reviens eau de cologne.

Next to it, there’s a real (and I mean REAL) mystery. The black label reads “Vespertine”: this happens to be a fictional perfume which made its appearance in the 5th season of the British TV show Endeavour. This cross-over (a fictional perfume appearing in a motion picture which apparently has no relation with the primary source) is kind of crazy, right? “The prop master must have been the same,” was my first thought, but IMDb didn’t give me any evidence, so my question is still on: how did Fenix Vespertine end up on Elton John’s dressing table???

This sighting comes as a surprise, because the list of Elton John’s favourite perfumes have never included one by Nina Ricci (he’s known for loving Creed Royal Water). In any case, since the Ricci atomiser is so beautiful, I guess it was chosen simply for decorative purposes.
