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.

    The most beautiful tuberose scent, IMO - a classic!! It makes me think of a (much more) sophisticated version of "La Chasse aux Papillons", by L'Artisan Parfumeur. The strange thing is: I don't...

    Well, I am not a fan of blowsy, heady fragrances like Micheal Kors and Lolita Lempicka, so I assumed that the flouty floral Fracas was not for me. Wow, was I wrong! I suppose this just really...

    Who is this scent for? For those of us who think a bouquet made up of gardenias and tuberoses is simply heaven. It's a classic, and it's back in it's original formulation. I have all the great...

    Wow, at the initial application, fracas is a huge powdery assault to my skin and my nose. Should be named FRACAS, not fracas. Very floral, but very loud. Some refer to this as diet La Chasse Aux...

    I never thought I'd ever love a fragrance so heavy and powerful but this has such a enduring quality. Plus it was Marilyn Monroe's signature scent and that in itself is appealing. In the bottle it...

    Fracas is one of my absolute favorite fragrances! A very mysterious blend of white flowers. Even though it was invented in the 1940's, it is a completely modern timeless scent. Just divine! I...

    No. This is a sweet, flowery assault. At least it was only a sample.

    I too smelled white berries the first time I tried this. Quite bizzare. It's a heady, marevlous mix of orange blossom, bergamot, tuberose, jasmine, iris and lily of the valley. It is indeed a scent...

    Too strong, fruity, and sweet. Gagged me right away. Too bad. I wanted to like it because I'd heard such great things about it, but I was seriously disappointed.

    Ugh. Not for me at all. It's a really slap-you-in-the-face type of scent,something floral and nasty. I guess I should have known better than to try it,since I don't like most florals. I really wish...
