An Unmarried Woman (1978)

There’s a Lancôme skincare item on Erica’s bedside table. It’s unclear whether it’s a make-up remover or a toner. As a matter of fact, this specific bottle — white with grey graphics and lettering — was used for several products.

An Unmarried Woman (1978)

When Erica realises her husband has betrayed her, one of the first things she does is clearing their bathroom by getting rid of his toiletries. Among them, two fragrances.

The first is a Christian Dior classic – Eau Sauvage. The citrus aromatic fragrance was created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1966.

The second is another citrus aromatic fragrance – Chanel for Men cologne. Created by Henri Robert, it was launched in 1955 with different names – A Gentleman’s Cologne in United Kingdom, Chanel for Men in the United States and Pour Monsieur in France. In 1989 it was relaunched worldwide as Pour Monsieur.

There are an Old Spice deodorant (red can) and a wicker bottle of St. Johns Bay Rum after shave in David Whiteman’s bathroom.
