Whenever I watch a Xavier Dolan film, there’s one thing I am always certain of: I will spot a fragrance in it. Even if this is technically a TV show, the rule still applies because there’s a scene, set in Madeleine’s bedroom, where two fragrances make their appearance.
One is a Nina Ricci atomiser, used in the past to house several fragrances. There’s no way to know which one it contains, but it’s probably L’air du temps, previously mentioned in The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.
The jar topped with a dove is Avon Flight to Beauty moisturising cream.
Julien (Patrick Hivon) takes another bottle and smells it.
It’s Christian Dior Miss Dior eau de toilette. The bottle that houses this fragrance today is very similar to the original, but I want to believe Madeleine used the vintage version.
Thanks to Zah in the comments for the Avon id.
There’s a Nina Ricci refillable atomiser on Elton John’s dressing table. Impossible to tell what fragrance it contains: the same atomiser has been used for different fragrances (Capricci, Farouche, L’air du temps).
I’ve always imagined Stevie Nicks wearing an intoxicating, sexy and witchy scent like Fracas (
It’s unclear what exact perfume is shown, because Nina Ricci used the same refillable spray bottle for several perfumes. It could be L’air du temps, the timeless warm spicy fragrance created by Francis Fabron and launched just after WWII, in 1948.
It could also be Farouche, a floral aldehyde fragrance launched in 1973.
Or even Capricci, another woody/spicy creation by Fabron, launched in 1960.
