Reissuing a classic in its original formulation = good. Putting it in a super expensive fancy bottle = not so much, imho. Will there be any available in a plain Jane bottle at a semi-reasonable price, I wonder? Because this one is a great one, deserving of widespread appreciation.

It would be nice if Haute Parfumerie offered the option of buying the re-edited classics from fountains, like Caron or Bond No. 9, but it probably does not correspond to Roja Dove's vision of exclusivity and love of beautiful bottles. Although they could offer a sort of second-tier level of exclusivity with plainer more minimalist crystal bottles for example.
An aesthete would probably think that Shocking cannot be separated from its iconic bottle :)
