Black Bag (2025)

Kathryn (Cate Blanchett) is getting dressed for dinner at home. She’s putting on a pair of earrings (a gift from her husband) while sitting at her dressing table, where we can see different make-up products and fragrance bottles.

The one she reaches for and sprays on her wrists has a peculiar stopper.

It’s The Revenge of Lady Blanche by Penhaligon’s, a green floral fragrance by Daphné Bugey launched in 2016.

Among the other bottles on the table, I can see Yves Saint Laurent Y eau de toilette and two fragrances from the Replica collection by Maison Margiela. Funny how the prop master decided not to “discard before use” the plastic stoppers on the Margiela fragrances.

Y is a fresh spicy fragrance by Dominique Ropion launched in 2017. The Margiela fragrances remain unknown because the front labels are not visible.

A skincare product that makes a brief appearance in a waste paper bin is Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine cream.

The Killer (2023)

The opening credits feature a very brief moment in which some beauty products and fragrances appear on screen.

The gloved hand of the Killer is holding a bottle of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. But this is neither the eau de parfum nor the eau de toilette, because the name of the product is printed in black on white paper. I believe the prop masters used the bottle of the Eau de Parfum Intense (bottle and stopper made of clear glass) and replaced the neck sticker, which is in this case gold with white stripes, with the one from the Eau Privée version, which is white with gold stripes.

In the background we can see a bottle of Caudalie Vinoperfect concentrated brightening essence.

The bottle on the right is supposed to be part of the Replica series by Maison Margiela. The bottle is the same, but the front label has been replaced (a different font has been used for the word Replica, for example), even though it still bears the name of the original product.
