Brigitte Bardot had this beautiful set of photos taken by Luc Fournol in her Paris apartment, 71 Avenue Paul Doumer, in 1958. Her dog Guapa kept her company by sitting under the vanity, where lots of interesting bottles can be seen.

The first bottle on the left is Hermès Eau de Doblis, which I guess was the lighter version of the 1955 chypre floral fragrance created by Guy Robert. The name of the fragrance comes from Veau Doblis, Hermès’ version of suede, first used in the 1930s.

Next to it, there’s a bottle of Lubin Gin Fizz, a fresh citrusy fragrance created by Henri Giboulet in 1955. The stopper on the bottle seen in the Bardot portrait seems to be made of plastic, but I couldn’t find any evidence online.

Moving to the right, we can see a splash bottle of Chanel No. 5, the legendary floral aldehyde eau de parfum created by Ernest Beaux and launched in 1921.

A photo taken from another angle reveals more bottles. All those housed in felt pouches are by Balmain.

Even though the photo was shot in black and white, we can assume that the pouches contained the most famous fragrances by the French maison. The green pouch housed Eau de Vent Vert, a lighter version of the green fragrance created by Germaine Cellier and launched in 1947.

The yellow pouch housed Eau de Verveine Citronelle, a 1951 verbena fragrance that would be later renamed as Monsieur Balmain.

Last, the beige pouch housed Jolie Madame eau de toilette, a white floral leathery creation by Germaine Cellier launched in 1953.

The very last bottle on the right is Rochas Moustache, an aromatic fougère fragrance created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1949.

The bottle that the actress is holding is a Baccarat creation for Guerlain, first launched in the 1930s.

Thanks to PerfumeArtMuseum for the Lubin and Guerlain ids.
