Elsa Schiaparelli Shocking You
Gender:
Female
Segment:
Lux perfumes
Fragrance information:
Shock, surrealism, and pink: the DNA of a legend. Elsa Schiaparelli is more than just a perfume house—it is a philosophy, a challenge, and endless surrealism embodied in fragrance.
In 1976, several years after the house closed, Shocking You was released—an eau de toilette for women that continued the tradition of bold, memorable compositions.
This fragrance belongs to the floral and green fragrance families, perfectly capturing the spirit of the 1970s.
Composition and Development
The Shocking You pyramid opens with sparkling freshness: aldehydes dance alongside bergamot, while galbanum, hyacinth, and neroli add green and floral accents.
At its heart, a lush bouquet unfolds: clove, iris, jasmine, lily of the valley, raspberry, rose, and ylang-ylang. The base is sensual and deep: a leather accord, oakmoss, sandalwood, and musk.
Character and Sillage
Shocking You is a fragrance with a very strong sillage that will not go unnoticed. It is a bold, elegant choice for confident women who are not afraid to make a statement.
Thanks to its richness and longevity, the fragrance is perfect for evening outings and special occasions, but it can also become a daytime accent for those who love vivid impressions.
