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.

    Would Fracas lovers please stop talking about it???? We don't want everyone discovering it! I ADORE Fracas, and when people ask what I'm wearing I just smile demurely and say, "Robert Piquet". ...

    The name of this perfume is truly fitting, as it so strong and nauseating; it demands attention in a negative way. This is a headache waiting to happen. It gave me one instantly. It's to...

    I can't tell you how surprised I am that I love this because I don't like many other tuberose scents, including Michael by Michael Kors. This fragrance has a lot of power behind it, so I'll echo...

    I must say the first notes that jump out of the bottle and hit you are the Tuberose and Gardenia, it nearly side swiped me with the strength of these two powerhouse scents. What I did, was spray...

    It doesn't surprise me that this scent has elicited so many poetic tributes. One whiff can transport me to exotic places I've never been -- The Stork Club in 1955, or the port of Goa. Usually I...

    My BF says it smells like grape popsicle. Hm. I don't like eating them but I like this. It's clear and sharp but not as nasty Gardenia as Michael Kors, Michael which I really don't like. This is...

    A connoisseur may not like a wine/fragrance/poem/ballet/opera etc. but is able to recognise the value and to distinguish it from a lesser item in the category. So, while I did not like Serge...

    This evokes the smell of mouldering banana peel in a sun-heated unwashed trashcan. The scent of decay - unspeakably vile. Normally I quite like tuberose (Versace Blond, Marc Jacobs).

    At first I thought it would be too floral-y for me, but once it settles down it's very refreshing. I wear it in spring & summer.
