Launched in 1937, Schiaparelli's Shocking is an iconic women's fragrance, marking the fashion house's debut into perfumery. This oriental floral scent is renowned for its distinctive bottle, sculpted by Leonor Fini to resemble a dressmaker's dummy inspired by Mae West's torso, encased in a vibrant shocking pink box. The opulent composition features a rich tapestry of notes, including bright aldehydes and bergamot, leading to a heart of jasmine, rose, narcissus, ylang-ylang, and clove. A luxurious base of amber, civetta, musk, patchouli, sandalwood, tarragon, and white honey provides a warm, sophisticated finish, embodying daring elegance.
