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.

    Potent? *Potent and bomb-shell* were the moments I waited for anxiously. But those moments did not arrive. I'll turn to good old Hermes 24 Faubourg for potent. I'll turn to any number of suberb...

    I can *maybe* pull this off if I wore a miniscule amt --- perhaps a dab on my collarbone and a dab on the wrist. Too much and it turns into Glade room spray. Tuberose/Jasmine/Gardenia based scents...

    I have to be in the mood for this. It's the biggest fattest gardenia ever. If you love gardenia/tuberose, this is your scent. I don't love those flowers, but don't hate 'em either. This scent will...

    I can understand that this is a great fragrance. But it doesn't want to have anything to do with me. I will keep my sample around, and take a few drops out from time to time when I'm feeling tough....

    I am so dissapointed! I had read that Fracas is Madonna's favourite perfume and was curious about how is smelled. On me it smells like Cacharel's Anais Anais, which I hate. This is a kind of old...

    This smells very nice, comforting, upon first whiff some images that came to mind were purple candles..., a slightly waxy floral candle smell.

    I was enamored by the history and longevity of Fracas, and wanted so much to like it and have it be my little secret love potion. However, it is way too heady and sickly sweet for me. I like sweet...

    This smells like a single note perfume and bores me after 5 mins. It reminds me of old ladies talcum powder. It's not yuck but nothing special either. Won't even use up my sample... I'll stick...

    Hmm, this is OK. When I first spray it I get a strong neroli scent, then it settles into more how it smells in the bottle. I don't love this, but I don't hate it either. I'll use up this bottle,...

    This is a nice fragrance but after being touted as tuberose I was dissapointed. This is definitely gardenia. You can tell because gardenia has a distinct "creamy" note it is also heavier (and...
