On a glass shelf in Marina’s bathroom there’s a bottle of Rochas Byzance, the oriental fragrance created by Alberto Morillas and Nicolas Mamounas and launched in 1987.

Carne trémula (1997)
Clara (Angela Molina) is finally leaving her abusive husband Sancho, so she’s quickly packing some toiletries. In her bathroom there are many beauty products.
On the glass shelf there are two Shiseido Benefiance products – a toner and a cleansing milk.
There’s also L’Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, which has an important function in this scene.
In classic Almodóvar style, Chanel products make their appearance. In this case, there are a compact and a bottle of bi-phase make-up remover (or toner). There’s also a black box with gold band I haven’t been able to identify. It may be related to No. 5, but I have no idea what it can be.
Under the glass shelf there’s a cardboard bottle of Ausonia talc.
Next to the Chanel make-up remover there’s Guerlain Champs Elysées in a beautiful gold bottle designed by Robert Granai. The perfume, created by Jacques and Jean-Paul Guerlain, was launched in 1996.
But Champs Elysées is not the only Guerlain item in Clara’s bathroom. On the top glass shelf there’s a round gold box containing Météorites face powder pearls.
Carne trémula (1997)
Helena (Francesca Neri) is soaking in the tub after having sex with her husband David.
Behind her we can see a Chanel bottle, probably containing a bath gel. Next to it, there’s Guerlain Habit Rouge, one of the most famous creations by Jean-Paul Guerlain, launched in 1965.
David (Javier Bardem) is bathing in the same tub. Behind him we can see Chanel Coco bath gel and Coco eau de toilette.
Los amantes pasajeros (2013)
Norma Boss (Cecilia Roth) uses Chanel make-up: in the screencap above, a Rouge Coco lipstick in a pale coral shade.
She uses a Chanel compact (a blush or a powder) to check her make-up.
La flor de mi secreto (1995)
Leo Macías uses Chanel skincare.
Kika (1993)
There are three products from the Cacharel LouLou perfume line on Kika’s dressing table: the shortest bottle contains Lait de douceur body lotion, and the tallest one the perfume. The floral can in the middle of the table is the deodorant. No wonder so many products of the same line were selected: this perfume, created by Jean Guichard and launched in 1987, was hugely popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The striped bottle in front of the mirror is Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, another iconic perfume, created by Michel Hy and launched in 1970.
Last but not least, some Kerastase Nutritive products (old packaging) can be seen on the far right of the table.
When Nicholas signs his book for Kika, we can see all the make-up on the table is by Cacharel. In this screenshot, pencils and compacts are visible but there are also tubes of foundation, lipsticks and bottles of setting spray.
Entre tinieblas (1983)
La piel que habito (2011)
Robert gives Vera Chanel skincare and make-up products. She keeps some eye pencils only, which she will use to write on the walls. The skincare products are from the Précision line and include Gel Pureté, Lotion Douceur and Démaquillant Yeux Intense make-up remover.
The make-up items are Teint Innocence liquid foundation, Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in the shade Excés #60 and several lip and eye pencils.
There’s a lipstick, too – the classic Rouge Coco.
La flor de mi secreto (1995)
Betty (Carme Elias) is about to put her make-up on when her friend Leo (Marisa Paredes) pays her a visit. She takes two Chanel compacts out of her make-up pouch. One is a pressed face powder, the other is a blush.
