Kung Fu Master! (1988)

There are several Guerlain products in Mary-Jane’s wood-lined bathroom.

The first is a box of Les Météorites pressed-powder pearls sitting on the marble sink counter.

On the wooden shelf by the bath tub there are a flacon chauve souris of Shalimar and a flacon abeilles of Eau Impériale.

Ann Miller’s Vanity (1945)

Checking the dressing tables and vanities of celebrities is always thrilling, especially when they include lots of cosmetics or perfume bottles. The latter is certainly the case of this 1945 portrait of the American actress and dancer Ann Miller.

Here is what I have identified. Starting from the left: there are two bottles of D’Orsay Intoxication, a chypre floral fragrance launched in 1938.  

There’s also a flacon bouchon coeur by Guerlain, possibly containing Mitsouko, a chypre fruity fragrance by Jacques Guerlain launched in 1919.

Impossible not to spot the beautiful bottle of Schiaparelli Shocking under a glass dome. This amber floral creation by Jean Carles was launched in 1937.

Right in front of the mirror there are two flacons chauve souris by Guerlain containing Shalimar, a Jacques Guerlain creation launched in 1925.

On the same side of the table there’s Worth Je Reviens eau de cologne. The eau de toilette version of this floral aldehyde fragrance created by Maurice Blanchet was launched in 1932.

Last, we can see the fluted bottle of an eau de cologne by Jean Patou.

Mad Men S03E02 (Love Among the Ruins)

There’s Guerlain Shalimar in the beautiful flacon chauve souris on a dressing table in Peggy Olson’s bedroom.

Created in 1925 by Jacques Guerlain, it’s undeniably one of the most famous perfumes of all times. You may remember another protagonist of the TV show (Joan Holloway, played by Christina Hendricks) wears the same perfume.

Goodfellas (1990)

There’s the iconic dove-topped bottle of Nina Ricci L’air du temps on Karen’s dresser. This classic floral/spicy fragrance, created by Francis Fabron, was launched in 1948.

Next to it there’s another iconic bottle – the flacon chauve souris of Guerlain Shalimar, one of the most famous creations by Jacques Guerlain, launched in 1925.

On the right side of the dresser there’s a white bottle: the stopper has a gold band, which indicates it’s a Chanel body lotion, possibly No. 5 or No. 19.

Thanks to Ladiesofthepast for submitting this post and to reveur_etc for the Guerlain and Chanel ids.

The Women (1939)

When Sylvia (Rosalind Russell) and Edith (Phyllis Povah) decide to act on the infidelity rumours about their friend Mary’s husband, they pay a visit to the cosmetic department at Black’s Fifth Avenue: there, they intend to meet the alleged mistress, Crystal Allen (Joan Crawford).

When they stop at a perfume counter, some interesting bottles can be seen.

On the mirrored table on the right there’s a factice flacon chauve souris of Guerlain Shalimar, the Jacques Guerlain masterpiece launched in 1925.

In the glass cabinet behind the shop assistant there’s a Guerlain flacon montre containing an eau de cologne.

Lupin S02E03 (Chapitre 8)

Juliette (Léa Bonneau) is sitting at her dressing table and is putting lipstick on.

The lipstick she’s using is Chanel Rouge Coco Shine.

When her father Hubert (Hervé Pierre) joins her to start a conversation, we can see there are some objects on the table.

First, a bottle of Guerlain Shalimar, the 1925 classic by Jacques Guerlain.

There are also a MAC jar (it could be Paint Pot cream eyeshadow or Fluidline gel eyeliner) and a Dior lip colour, possibly Dior Addict Lip Tattoo or Lip Maximizer.

Thank you to Alessandra for the screencaps and the Shalimar id.

Madame Claude (2021)

When Madame Claude (Karol Rocher) first meets Virginie (Liah O’Prey), she takes her into the office bathroom to teach her the general rules of personal hygiene.

On the washbasin there’s a Guerlain refillable atomiser of Shalimar.

Later, Madame is taking a bath in her own apartment. On a glass shelf above the washbasin there’s another atomiser of Shalimar, which means the classic fragrance by Guerlain is her signature scent.

Thanks to cedriceccentric for the id.
