Shocking
Description
The story behind this fragrance
Shocking opens with a bright, almost electric aldehydic fizz—sharp bergamot and green tarragon cut through like a jolt. The heart settles into creamy white florals: narcissus and ylang-ylang wrapped in honeyed jasmine and rose, soft yet insistent. As it develops, warm amber and sandalwood anchor the composition while civetta and musk add an animalic, skin-like depth; clove edges in with subtle spice. The base is where Shocking truly unfolds—honeyed, earthy, enveloping, a contrast of delicate florals held by something primal and warm.
