Dead Ringers (1988)

Beverly Mantle (Jeremy Irons) is often shown in his bathroom. The scene in which he opens a mirrored cabinet gives us the chance to see what’s in it, besides medicines and medications.

On the second shelf from the top there’s a can of Barbasol shaving cream.

On the third shelf from the top there’s a Borsalino product. The eau de toilette and ancillary products are featured throughout the film. In this specific case, I can’t decide if it’s a small can of deodorant or of shaving cream.

On the bottom shelf there’s a jar of Noxzema greaseless and medicated skin cream.

Later in the film, the presence of Borsalino products gets more prominent.

In the screencap above we can see the eau de toilette. This chypre fragrance was launched in 1984.

There’s also a can of shaving cream.

This screencap has been discussed in fragrance forums since forever. The Borsalino bottle has always been identified as the eau de toilette, but I can finally say it’s not!

It’s a black glass bottle containing Borsalino shower gel. The bottle that holds the eau de toilette is brown and made of clear glass, so it is definitely not that one.

Priscilla (2023)

The first two products Priscilla takes from her beauty case are a jar of Noxzema skin cream and a bottle of Cutex nail polish in an orange/coral shade.

Next, there’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5, the legendary floral aldehyde eau de parfum created by Ernest Beaux and launched in 1921.

She also takes a compact containing pressed face powder and a marbled jar containing a cold cream (this is what is written on its lid). I can’t identify the compact but I am sure the cold-cream jar is just a prop.

The last items are two lipsticks – one in a dark green case, the other in a gold case.

avon_sweethonestyyorkshire_bornunicornThere’s a yorkshire-shaped bottle in Sheila and Ruth’s motel bathroom: it’s Avon Princess of Yorkshire Sweet Honesty cologne, a floral fragrance launched in 1973. We know Sheila uses Cartier Pasha de Cartier, so this one must Ruth’s.
