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 have been wearing this scent for years and LOVE it, however, i find it does not stay on. I got an oil on EBAY that was Fracas scent and it stays on and smells delicious..

I love Fracas. I have this and adore it. Heavenly Tuberose fragrance. If you love Tuberose, you need this in your perfume collection.

Way too potent for me. This is definitely a fragrance if you either want to seduce the right person, or scare off another. It just really depends if the other person is into strong tuberose scents...

I thought this was very nice.. For some reason it doens't stay long on me. Or maybe I didn't put that much on. But I do adore it.

Someone had mentioned this on one of the boards, so I had to check it out because I *love* tuberose. I got a sample from Sephora, but I have to say, this is incredibly sweet. Michael Kors smells...

I have a sample and I have to say I like this rather a lot. I didn't expect to. Yes, I can see how this could be easily overpowering and that is why I apply it sparingly. The lasting power is...

This is my favorite. I always wear this for formal events or anytime I crave the intoxicating smell that only Fracas gives!

Fracas is definately a scent to be worn by a woman, not a girl. Classy and eloquent in an ice queen sort of way. The imagery that comes to mind for me is a beautiful woman in a chanel suit who...

Being in my mid 20's I thought it was time I try a more sophisticated, classic fragrance. I selected Fracas because I love tuberose and gardenia. I really tried to love this, but I just don't. It...

Fracas is a classic white floral with tuberose in center stage. It is a string of pearls, it is a Hermes Kelly bag, it is a Hubert de Givenchy sheath. At Barney's you'll catch it on the sales clerk...

I bought the Fracas parfum recently, and I have to say I'm rather disappointed. I really want to like it after reading so many positive reviews, but it's just… blah. Doesn't have much staying...

Ah, Fracas. For so long I have put off testing this scent. Today, while aimlessly wandering the aisles of Sephora, I picked it up, and without thinking clearly, spritzed (heavily) onto my wrist. ...

Althought I tend to like clean, light scents, I do like Versace Blonde for an occasional extravaganza... I expected Fracas to be better than Blonde, but I found that, despite being very similar at...

I tried this because I like tuberose/gardenia scents, but this was overwhelmingly harsh and strong. In fact, I couldn't wait to wash it off. It's not a light, fresh floral scent; it's the kind of...
