This beautiful portrait was taken by Richard Melloul in the bathroom of Birkin’s house in rue de la Tour, in Paris. You may recognise it as the bathroom which appears in Kung Fu Master! (1988) by Agnès Varda. Some of the perfumes and toiletries in this picture can also be found in the film.
On the left side of the marble shelf above the washbasin there’s a jar of Gessy brilliantine, which I found no picture of.
Next there’s a bottle of Coty cologne. The front label cannot be read, but considering it has a white stopper, it could be Le Muguet.
A bottle that can be seen in Kung Fu Master! is Chanel 8°5 Lotion Fraiche.
There’s also Guerlain Vol de Nuit in the gorgeous flacon rayonnant. This is a 1933 fragrance by Jacques Guerlain.
On the far right side of the marble counter there are several round boxes, possibly containing face or body powders. Among them, there are Les Météorites pressed-powder pearls and Coty Airspun loose face powder, both seen in the Varda film.
On the right side of the marble counter there are several skincare products. Among them, I can see a white jar and a white tube by Clarins (impossible to know what they contained) and Guerlain body creme.
The last product I have been able to identify is a massive flacon goutte by Guerlain, sitting on a wooden counter above the bath tub. First introduced in 1923, it was used for over 30 different fragrances, so there’s no way to tell exactly what this bottle contained.
Thanks to Viola for submitting this post.
There are many Guerlain perfumes on the vanity table of one of Émile’s victims. From left to right:
The classic flacon abeilles contains 
No way to know what the flacon goutte contains here. This bottle, first launched in the 1920s, has been used for many eaux de toilette.
There’s another flacon abeilles – sans golden bees – containing an eau. The front label is not shown, so it’s impossible to say what eau this is.
The sage green disk on a flacon montre indicates its content: 
The last bottle is the perfumed deodorant of 
The Canadian actor Jack Merivale took this picture in 1960. He was performing as Armand in the play Duel of Angels by Christopher Fry, along with Vivien Leigh. They were at the Huntington Hartford Hotel in Pasadena during the American tour of the play. They had been partners since 1958: Merivale stayed by Vivien Leigh’s side until her death, in 1967, and supported her during the difficult last years of her life.
Beside the flower vase there’s a Dior amphore, designed by Fernand Guéry-Colas in 1947 for Miss Dior. Later, it was used for other Dior scents, like Diorissimo, Diorling, Diorama and Diorella. Again, there’s no way to know which perfume was on Vivien’s table.
Last but not least, the perfume we can identify without any doubt: Joy by Jean Patou, the actress’ signature scent [1], first given to her as a gift by Olivier.
The latest music video by Charlotte Gainsbourg – Lying with You, from the album Rest – turns out to be an unexpected perfume lover mecca. Directed by Gainsbourg herself, it’s set in the apartment at 5 bis Rue de Verneuil (Paris) where her father, Serge Gainsbourg, lived.

Next, there’s a bottle of Estee Lauder Aramis, created in 1966 by Bernard Chant.
There’s also a bottle of Lancôme Magie Noire, created by Gerard Goupy in 1978.
There are two body perfumes, too – the

Another shot of the same perfume tray reveals the presence of more Guerlain products.
There’s the 
Plus, four flacons quadrilobes and flacons bouchon coeur.
Lastly, there’s a vintage bottle of Garnier Birkin shampoo (or hair lotion). I wonder if Gainsbourg actually used it or just kept a bottle as a homage to his partner (and Charlotte’s mother) Jane Birkin.
