💋 Shocking You – Schiaparelli
📆 Launch Year: 1976 💧 Concentration: Eau de Parfum 🌿 Olfactive Family: Floral Green & Sensual 👃 Perfumer: Unknown – Gilbert Bendoni Private Collection
If Elsa Schiaparelli had sculpted desire in scent, this would be her masterpiece — a surrealist seduction in green and skin tones.
Shocking You is not just floral. It’s hot, bold, and intimately provocative. A green fantasy laced with powder, musk, and lipstick heat.
It opens like a slap of spring: 🌿 Galbanum, citronellol, and carrot seed oil — sharpened by C9, C10, and C12 aldehydes. The green is not fresh. It’s feverish.
Then the heart blooms — not upward, but inward: 🌸 Hyacinth Longchamp, jasmine absolute, and ylang oil extra melt into Hedione and Rhodinol. Vertofix and Vetyveryl Acetate anchor the florals in warm skin, not soil. Katmandol and Muguet Vert whisper of synthetic intimacy — a memory of perfume on silk.
The drydown is where the heat lingers: 🌫️ Vanillin, Exaltolide, and Ambrarome Synarome hum like skin after touch. Oakmoss and styrax add vintage depth, while Ionone and gamma methylionone evoke lipstick traces, powdered décolleté, and mirrors fogged by breath.
The base flickers with sensual shadows: Coumarin, Fixomusc, and Oxyphenylon drift like ghosts of desire. DEP and Fixateur 404 hold it all together — not heavy, but hauntingly erotic.
🎨 Shocking You is not fresh. It’s flesh. Not polite. Unapologetically seductive. A study in olfactory couture — and a masterclass in how scent becomes skin.
✅ A neo-vintage built for heat, presence, and unforgettable tension
👠 Hot hot couture. Schiaparelli knew.
