Parfum Schiaparelli, Shocking (originally 1936)
Elsa called it: "life-giving, like all the light and the birds and the fish in the world put together, a color of China and Peru but not of the West." Yves Saint Laurent said it had: "the nerve of red...an aggressive, brawling, warrior pink."
French lingerie shops call it: "Le shocking". She called her autobiography: "Shocking Life". And her most famous perfume: "Shocking" was packaged in a bottle modeled after Mae West's voluptuous figure.
