VINTAGE - Schiaparelli Shocking EDP reviews

Fragrantica - This is a perfume in glorious, kaleidoscopic technicolor hues, shifting and morphing and changing faces as time passes. The back of my hand has been glued to my nose for the past few hours...Balmy & musky in the in drydown, with a hint of something incense-y... a lot of the kick has died down into this languorous, silky scent with just enough animalic funk to keep it interesting. This is one of the only (actually) vintage perfumes that I've smelled and can say is truly sexy, like the olfactory equivalent of Aphrodite's girdle. So lush and sensual and so, so good."

Fragrantica - "Schiaparelli Shocking (1937, Discontinued) - Civet Narcissus - #jeancarles definitely has a knack for creating animalic perfumes from #tabu #missdior , as well as this perfume. I get a mixture of waxy Aldehydes, mixed with Florals (Narcissus, Rose, Jasmine) dripping in Honey. Though balanced and not sickly sweet, I got more of Honey’s floral and animalic aspects. It’s heart and base is a dirt, sweet, and truly shocking Civet musk accord balanced with spices, Sandalwood, and Resins. It’s journey will be that combination of hay-like Narcissus, Honey, and Civet. One of the best floral musks to get a hold off."

Fragrantica - "pale petals torn asunder in sullied gardens. estromanic honeycomb perspirant. blushing rosebuds stained with lipstick. right off the bat, shocking lives up to its name: skank, skank, and more skank. civet dances in massive clouds of dirty musk, with aldehydes provocatively sparkling on top alongside a sweaty note of sour bergamot. the animalia begins to tame itself a smidge, but soon comes narcotic white florals to seize the baton: rich narcissus, sweet ylang-ylang, and indolic jasmine, soaked in pungent honey and dripping all over, making a sticky mess of the now-ravished flowerbeds. ivory flowers with the help of clove give a brief impression of carnation, bubblegummy and coated in rouge. in the end lies a saccharine sheen of dirtied blossoms, orange zest, flowing honey, and cozy musk."

    A shocking beauty

    ragrance Reviews Add Your Review cyanne cyanne I feel as though I've received a shipment of relics from Rome! Today I scored the 1930s Mae West bottle and seperately,a vial of original formula juice which was reverently placed in a burgundy velvet bag. The little glass mannequin and bell jar have slight imperfections, but are otherwise aged to a sort of funereal beauty. The bottle is tinted with residual parfum which emitted down and dirty civet, honey, and tarragon as soon as it was free of its shipping sarcophagus. The magical 5 ml vial in its velvet satchel is the cologne concentree, but age has rendered it bold. It announces itself with a blast of honey and tarragon, boosted by aggressive civet. My cat took notice and sniffed at my wrist in wonderment. I could not detect rose, clove or bergamot, so I added a spot or two of Red 2, another recent addition to my collection. I reasoned that it would restore the missing Pink notes of floral and fruit since mostly Shock is left in the vial;and that, after all is not a bad thing.It is a vibrant, sensual elixir of of honey, animal, and incense.

    Strange but compelling

    I described this to someone as an old lady in dirty underpants. Old fashioned rose with the dirty underpants civet note that keeps you sniffing your wrist.

    Utterly beautiful

    OMG! The only shocking thing about this perfume is how absolutely divine it is!! I cannot believe how utterly beautiful this fragrance is and what is shocking, is that it is hard to obtain. I cannot believe that this contains civet as it's a note that I usually detest as it just dries down to dirty sweat on me, but I can't smell it at all. I can smell the honey note which is beautiful and elegant. I can't praise this gorgeous beauty highly enough, sultry, smouldering, sweet, sexy, powerful, powdery, spicy, sassy and downright addictive. Longevity is very average on my dry skin, 4 hours, but that won't stop me purchasing it. Silage is rather powerful, this is a statement perfume!
