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 ordered it unsniffed, just based on all of the reviews I figure out that this was a beautiful and different scent. And it is, but I can't really get use to it yet. It's very powdery, and kind of...

    too sharp, no finesse, perversion of the lovely tuberose scent

    Sorry for being crude, but when I applied Fracas, all I could think was, "This is one Kick Ass Tuberose." That is not an insult - but the attitude of this fragrance is actually intimidating! I...

    Not having ever owned another tuberose scent and intrigued by the legendary following this seems to have gathered, I ordered Fracas unsniffed from Perfumania, along with several other scents I was...

    Oh dear - this is a heady warm and blantantly sexual floral. Definitely perfect for summer when you are wearing a black dress, with pardon me, but no knickers. This is quite sexy and my DH who...

    I try fracas every few months to see if I will fall in love with it. Each time I discover I am not a fracas lover. I think I must not be able to handle tuberose scents. The notes are tuberose...

    One of my favorite florals. Beautiful, strong, sweet buttery-creamy tuberose. I don't like many florals but this one is great. Nice on a summer evening.

    For awhile there, I never quite understood what all the fuss was about Fracas. Read about all the celebrities who loved it. Still, I did not get it. Got a few samples of this a while back (my...

    YUCK! This scent literally makes me want to throw up. I smelled Fracas on a German woman while I was out shopping and thought she smelled delicious--I asked her what it was and she kindly told me...

    Boy, can you hear this one coming!!! I had the lotion, bought unsniffed from Sephora, and ended up giving it away. I like strong things at times, but this was just too, too much. WAY to much. ...

    What a surprise! Hated it when I sniffed the bottle (way too sweet!), still too sweet when I put it on, but the drydown is exquisite - so lovely, neither powdery nor too sweet. And now possibly...

    I love tuberose, and I wanted soooo much to like this, but it is hysterically sweet! I'll stick with DSH Tubereuse or even Coty Sand and Sable when I need to feed by tuberose jones.

    Dizzying when first applied, but dries down beautifully. I use the perfume--a little goes a long way & lasts all day. Almost candy-sweet, intensely feminine. I love the orange note, but removed...
