The bottle sitting on Elvis Presley’s dresser in his bedroom in Bad Nauheim is Fabergé Brut, an aromatic fougère fragrance created by Karl Mann and launched in 1964.

This choice is not historically accurate because Elvis’ military service in Germany took place from October 1958 to March 1960, well before the release of Brut. Sofia Coppola’s fans know these “mistakes” are frequent in her films, though, and usually add a fascinating touch. Anyone remembers the purple Converse All Star hi-tops in Marie Antoinette (2006)?

Saturday Night Fever (1977)

What would Tony Manero wear before dancing the night away at 2001 Odyssey? The screencap above gives us a couple of options, both by Fabergé.

The bottle with big gold stopper is Macho, an amber fougère fragrance launched in 1977. The “powerful new scent for men by Fabergé” seems to suit Manero’s bold and independent personality.

On the boy’s dresser there’s also a bottle of Vitalis Super Hold hairspray.

The second fragrance option is a classic – Fabergé Brut spray cologne housed in the signature tall bottle made of green glass. This aromatic fougère scent, created by Karl Mann, was first launched in 1964.
