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've seen some describe it as "the smell of sex", others, which is more accurate, as a "Lolita" scent. Bubble-gum, said one friend "Blueberries" another. I've come to LOATHE it, it actually...

    I am shocked that other reviewers see this as a heavy, sexy fragrance. To me it smells very light & fresh...a little like gardenia, but not overly floral...quite complex. Maybe I tend to just like...

    The Fracas EDP smells quite similar to L'Artisan Tubereuse on me. All emphasis is on a nutty, heavy, buttery, slightly salty tuberose. A caramel-corn floral without being sweet. A big feminine...

    I recently got a sample of this when my daughter took advantage of the "deal" at Sephora: buy a sample set, and get one larger size fragrance of your choice from the set for a nice discount. ...

    Fracas is just an incredibly chic, heady perfume. Wallflowers need not apply! This is a blend on vetiver and white flowers, particularly tuberose. It definitely makes itself known. Fracas has...

    If my memory serves me correct "Fracas" in French means "Crash" and in a way I think that title suits this fragracnce as it kind of "crashes" down on you. I found the top notes in Fracas faded...

    Fracas has been haunting me since I first smelled it in college in 1986 (I guess I just gave away my age!). I purchased my first bottle the following summer, and began my on again/off again love...

    I guess you could say that I am surprised that others see Fracas as an overly-potent, sex-bomb-ish, cloyingly sweet, knock-one-over fragrance. To me, it does not read that way at all. In fact,...

    Fracas is a fatally flawed masterpiece. A voluptuous, heady tuberose and jasmine cloud envelops you, then quickly dissipates into a predominant tuberose with a nasty butter undertone. When I...

    To me this is a snuggly sweater scent for Fall and Winter. At the same time it's geat for evenings any time of the year. It's lush and creamy and the tuberose is very heady. When I wore it recently...

    If Fracas-wearing Kate Beckinsale and I agree on the delight that is Sage Machado's Onyx, I thought, I'm sure to love Fracas too. But floral? Even deep floral? Surely that's not a scent for me,...

    This fragrance is not for the faint of heart. If you are attracted to a deep sexy fragrance, it might be for you. It is a strong floral and reminds me a little of Rive Gauche, not so much the...

    Fracas is definitely not for the lovers of light airy scented perfumes. It's a pretty floral scent, but very deep. I usually wear this in the evening. I especially love how it smells on me after an...
