Lisa (Shelley Winters) and her friend Maria Grazia (Paulette Goddard) are spending some time together while relaxing: they discuss about the upcoming social events they want to go to.
On a small table behind Lisa there’s a splash bottle of Guerlain Eau de Cologne Impériale, created by Pierre François Pascal Guerlain for Empress Eugenie in 1853.
On a table between the two friends there’s a bottle of Acqua distillata alle rose by Roberts, a classic rose water that’s available everywhere in Italy.
Lisa (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and Maria Grazia (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) have been close friends for a long time, but things are changing: Maria Grazia accuses Lisa of having an affair with her boyfriend.
The conversation they’re having in this scene is very harsh and unpleasant, but, by contrast, it takes place in a very chic and civilized setting – the perfume shop where Lisa works.
The perfume on the table in front of them is Xerjoff Casamorati Gran Ballo, which Maria Grazia will buy to wear at a masked ball later in the film. This white floral eau de parfum was launched in 2013.
A can of Borotalco talcum powder can be seen in the bathroom where Carla (Claudia Cardinale) is getting ready. This hugely popular product was created in 1874 in Florence by the pharmacist Henry Roberts.
