description

The coveted jewel in the crown of Piguet’s glittering collection, 1948 game-changer Fracas, is a long-time trendsetter. At the time, legendary perfumer, Germaine Cellier, sought to create a scent that would make its wearer feel like a bombshell; one that would leave an unsettling effect on everyone that encountered it. With unmistakable and unrivaled opulent tuberose and jasmine accords, this lush and creamy concoction clings to a woman’s skin and warms with her unique chemistry. Unlike many traditional white florals, Fracas is dark and luscious. Rich accents of sandalwood and delicate musk enhance the brilliance and complexity. Its legacy and unrivaled artistry has earned Fracas a proud position in the Fragrance Foundation Hall of Fame. Top: Bergamot, Mandarin. Mid: Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia. Base: Musk, Sandalwood.

    I was hoping that this would be the penultimate tuberose for me, and while it probably isn't that, it's pretty good. This is my 3rd wearing of the parfum and I've just now reached a verdict, so it...

    I can't believe this, I just sampled this at Nordstrums, and flipped out. Not that I like it so much, but it is as close to smelling like my favorite scent, when I was about 20 years old.(long time...

    I'm sooo disappointed. I wanted to like this so much! Fracas is to my mind chic, French and older sexy woman. Madonna started to wear Fracas Parfum when she transformed into a Lady of the Manor in...

    I wore this in highschool, which is odd considering it's more of a mature fragrance. Funny how taste changes because I revisited it recently and it makes me feel a little nauseated. Too rich,...

    White floral, dark fragrance. I always get compliments when I wear Fracas. It is very strong and has the most staying power of any fragrance I have ever worn. It is best applied with a light hand...

    I'm getting to where I only wear Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist or this. Fracas is so beautiful smelling but not sweet or cloying. I get lots of compliments on it when I wear it and I can't stop...

    I appreciate that Robert Piguet's Fracas is the quintessential modern floral. It was launched in 1948 and has aged well – sitting gloriously alongside those who have run with the theme – Michael...

    Tried a sample of the EDP. It smells horrible, thank goodness I didn't buy the bottle. I'm a fan of strong white florals but this one did not work out for me. Something about it doesn't smell...

    This is my one major tuberose scent - if it didn't exist, I'd have to spring the big bucks for Malle's Carnal Flower. I've compared the two pretty closely, and while Malle's is a bit lighter and...

    Perfect, glamorous, heady and love at first sniff. I sampled the EDP and enjoyed it so much I bought an ounce of the parfum concentration. It has a richness and depth that isn't too terribly...

    I really like this fragrance. However I'm one of the ones that likes to wear it for casual wear, going out with the girls etc... I don't find it strong at all, and once it dries down it's really a...

    I'm normally quite the fan of white florals and when I first put this on I thought it would be right up my alley. But within a few minutes it started to change and smell almost sour and salty...

    I love the tuberose in this but there is something in there that makes it not so "light". I am not sure what that is but I wish it wasn't in there. Other than that, it smells very expensive &...

    Killer tuberose scents for the mistress of the night. Use your wits to capture your target with this dead-on olfactory narcotic. It’s a scent to begin and end all tuberose scents. Outrageously...
