The Intercine Project (1974)

Bert (Harry Andrews) is a masseur who is part of a business espionage ring: he gets information from his rich clients and passes it to Robert Elliot, the economist who runs the ring.

In the men’s club where he works there’s a very interesting bottle next to a small TV set: it’s a massive bottle of Hermès Calèche. This floral aldehyde fragrance was created by Guy Robert and launched in 1961.

Performance (1970)

First of all, there’s a bottle of Hermès Calèche, created in 1961 by Guy Robert.
