This episode is set in 1992: Princess Margaret (Lesley Manville) is sitting at her vanity and she’s writing a letter to her former lover Peter Townsend. Among the several objects on the table we can see a Guerlain flacon montre, but the aerial shot makes it impossible to identify it.
One season and almost one decade later (this episode is set in 2001), we can see Margaret sitting at the same vanity but now we can finally tell more about the flacon montre.
The teal disk tells us it contains Mitsouko eau de cologne.
In the same scene, Margaret is putting on some lipstick. The product in question is Elizabeth Arden Lip Spa.
There’s a quintessentially Italian beauty product on the vanity in Giulia’s bedroom: it’s Acqua distillata alle rose by Roberts, a classic rose water that’s available everywhere in Italy.
But there’s another item that has captured my attention: a Guerlain flacon montre.
The teal disk tells us it’s Mitsouko. Not your ordinary summer scent, but it’s not surprising: Giulia (Franca Valeri) is a chic/snobbish character, so summer can’t stop her from wearing impeccable outfits and French perfumes. I like the touch given by the prop master (a yellow pump) to customize the bottle.
