Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Shocking is shaped as an expressive line of development, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Elsa Schiaparelli is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.

Right at the start you sense fantasy sparkling top notes: Aldehydes, Bergamot and Tarragon. Exactly these 3 notes set unexpected conceptual play that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.

In the central layer you notice Honey, Jasmine, Narcissus, Rose and ylang-ylang holding a silky white floral direction.

The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Animalistic, Aromatic, Citrus and Gourmet with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Floral, Spicy and Cosmetic expand the olfactory volume in the background.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Fairy, Citrus, Aromatic and Sweet. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Floral, Ambery and Animals.

Taken together Shocking reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
