I love when some props recur as trademark objects in a director’s filmography. This is definitely the case of Joanna Hogg and Penhaligon’s Bluebell eau de toilette, which can be seen in Julie’s hotel bedroom but makes its appearance in The Souvenir Part II, too, as a fragrance young Julie uses.
When Rosalind (Tilda Swinton) visits her daughter Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) in London, she sprays the “heavenly scent” the girl keeps in her bathroom.
The “absolutely glorious” perfume in question is a British classic – Penhaligon’s Bluebell, a green/earthy fragrance with a distinctive note of hyacinth created by Michael Pickthall and launched in 1978.
