There are some interesting items on a marble counter on Mary-Jane’s bathroom.
The miniature bottle on the left is Chanel 8° 5 Lotion Fraiche.
The tall cardboard box on the right contains Manetti & Roberts Borotalco, probably the most iconic talcum powder made in Italy.
In front of it, another cardboard box contains Coty Airspun loose face powder.
There are several bottles on the vanity in Charlotte’s bedroom, among which two Hermès perfumes.
One is on the left of the wooden table watch: it’s Equipage, the first masculine perfume released by the French fashion house. Created by Guy Robert, it was launched in 1970.
The other is on the right side of the dresser: it’s Calèche, another creation by Robert, launched in 1961.
If you’ve seen the film, or read the Piero Chiara novel of the same title, you’ll know there’s a problem with both of these perfumes: the story is set in the Lago Maggiore area in 1946, so the Hermès perfumes (launched decades later) are historically inaccurate. I understand why the prop masters chose them, though: they were popular when the film was made and their bottles are beautiful.
On the vanity there’s also a tin can of Borotalco Roberts talcum powder.
Maxine (Merdelle Jordine) has got several make-up items and toiletries on her dressing table. Among them, a bottle of Manetti & Roberts Borotalco talcum powder and a box of Coty Airspun loose powder.
A can of Borotalco talcum powder can be seen in the bathroom where Carla (Claudia Cardinale) is getting ready. This hugely popular product was created in 1874 in Florence by the pharmacist Henry Roberts.
