Tara (Maggie Siff) visits Otto (Kurt Sutter) in hospital and brings him his favourite perfume, the one worn by his (now dead) lover Luann. Described by Gemma as smelling “like cum and patchouli,” it’s the only fragrance Otto wanted Luann to wear. No surprise that he asks Tara to wear it for him. The scene where he sniffs her wrist is pure perfume fetishism, a very intimate and vaguely erotic moment.
There’s a bottle of Halston cologne on Tara’s dresser. This is a hugely successful perfume, first launched in 1975: it’s a woody fragrance whose most prominent notes are oakmoss, incense and amber; it symbolized (and still does) the most glamourous and glitziest side of that decade.

Tara (Maggie Siff) and Gemma (Katey Sagal) talk about Luann’s favourite perfume. Gemma’s description (“smelled like cum and patchouli”) makes me think of heady hippie scents from the 1970s.
