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.

    When I heard this described as the queen of tuberose fragrances, I got a bit nervous as I rather dislike tuberose. However, this is a beautiful classical floral. I don't find it overpowering at...

    Fracas is my all time favorite fragrance. I love the staying power and the flowery scent. This is what I wear when I want to smell like a woman and not a girl.

    I absolutely love this. I have tired of everything but I don't ever see that happening with this timeless scent.

    I'm not great at describing perfumes but this one is a really heady white floral that just bursts opon first spray. I can smell it for a while after and the dry down is true to the initial spray...

    This must be where perfumes go when they die: it's the best, classiest, coolest, sexiest fragrance EVER. Strong, heady and completely unique – Fracas doesn't smell like a n y t h i n g else out...

    When it comes to tuberose, this is the ultimate -- bar none. And in terms of authenticity, this is what tuberose (the flower) really smells like, in my experience; it's not sweet or clear or fresh...

    I got a mini Fracas to give it a try. After a week of trying to decide whether I like it or not, not. I LOVE Gardenia but all I'm getting out of this is mainly Tuberose which I'm not a big fan...

    This is a VERY classy fragrance. It has that "I'm from old money" smell. I like it quite a bit. The main note is indeed Tuberose, but I do smell the orange blossom (I love that stuff!). The...

    For those who find the perfume too strong, the body lotion is a beautiful scent too and a bit more subtle and warm-smeling.

    This is a beautiful fragrance. It smells so modern, although it's decades old. It's quite a strong flowery-tuberose scent, but not powdery at all, which I think is why it smells modern. I tend...

    I love this white floral, despite smelling it on half the girls in Barney's, despite Madonna loving it, despite its being about as subtle as a pair of stiletto heels. But like those heels, boy is...

    I got a sample of this from a perfume shop and loved it. I bought a small tiny bottle off Ebay for like, 5 bucks. It's really strong so I dab it on pulsepoints for all day scent. If you like the...

    I bought this perfume about two years ago and wore it for about six months is all. I just thought it was to heavy for me. Well this perfume is heavy, so you do not need much. I have a hard time...

    This fragrance is way too heavy. Way too sweet and candy-like. I love florals but can't stand this one. Love the bottle though.
