In-Depth Summary
Created by Jean Carles and introduced in France in 1936, Shocking translated Schiaparelli's audacious Shocking Pink into a warm, honeyed woody floral oriental. Its Mae West-inspired dressmaker torso, designed by Leonor Fini and displayed beneath a glass dome, became one of perfumery's great Surrealist presentations. This offering is the empty 3.5-inch Shocking perfume bottle by Schiaparelli.
