However, if my sexy soulsister Fraulein Dinazad remembers it fondly, then it's likely that I do, too. I'll have to check this out. For science, of COURSE. Bring on the skank, baby !

Since I do love the rose, I'm more curious to try this now, in both (or all possible) versions. New lemming alert! :) Very interesting!

Schiaparelli's contemporaries had civet and chypres! Now in the days of fruity florals and sugar, when everything, even the musk, is supposed to smell "clean", I think we're more shockable perfume-wise. Well, maybe not us perfume nerds and skankaholics... ;) Oh, I wouldn’t say that! Schiaparelli’s contemporaries had civet and chypres!

I only wish it was more "shocking"... Your description sounds lovely! I wish I got opulence from the reformulation, I like opulent rose scents, but not sharp and soapy ones... Tastes change indeed - mine has already changed more than I'd ever think the short time I've been a perfume nerd - so I'll save the vintage version for later. By the way, after a few hours I got some oakmoss from the reformulation too. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try them! newproducts - Well, if you like roses, powder and aldehydes you might very well like it! :) Me, I don't mind powder but I've not yet learned to appreciate aldehydes, and I only like a few selected rose scents. Elle - ooh, skank, wish I got that! Dmitri - tuberose? That's interesting! I thought it was purely a rose scent. Marina - More oomph, exactly! More oomph and more skank.

Sniffing at only one vintage version of Shocking won't give you an vision of what it was. There were many editions of the scent and all of them survived the time in a different way, I 'm afraid. So it would be better to try and sniff at as many vintage samples as possible. For me Shocking is a tuberose scent in the first line, a source of inspiration for Poison Dior.

Must look for it! I have the vintage in parfum and have to admit I adore it. Skank, oakmoss, honey and roses - for me, perfection. :-) I hope they make the new version in parfum as well.
