L’enfer (1994)

There are several interesting items in Paul and Nelly’s bathroom.

On the glass shelf below the mirror there’s a flacon bouchon coeur by Guerlain. Reading the front sticker is impossible, but the bottle could house Mitsouko, L’Heure Bleue or Fol Arôme, the three fragrances this ground glass flacon was designed for in 1910.

On the same shelf there’s a can of Elnett hairspray.

On the bath tub shelf there’s a bottle of L’Oreal Obao bubble bath.

Performance (1970)

performance-1970-004-mick-jagger-bathTurner (Mick Jagger) is a former rock star who lives in London’s Notting Hill with two women, Pherber (Anita Pallenberg) and Lucy (Michèle Breton). The famous scene where they’re taking a bath in the same tub features interesting products.

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