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 seem to be able to tolerate this classic tuberose 15 years after I first sampled it. Not cloying or too floral. Has a hint of creaminess and muskiness. Less-than-stellar lasting power makes me...

This is one of my all time favorites for anytime of year. Not a heady floral like Marc Jacobs or Michael Kors, much more understated to me. I can definitely smell the jasmine in it and softer notes...

Love the perfume..Don't waste your money on the body lotion or wash. Tho both have the scent, they are totally lacking in moisture ability and cleaning.

Oh I had wanted to like this so much. I love nostalgia. I absolutely love tuberose. But this is a bland white floral scent (yes even if it is an 'original' or a 'classic' it's still too...

I received a sample of this recently and decided to try it out. On me, this is a very warm, heady gardenia scent with tuberose being the secondary note I get out of it. It's quite sweet but...

Va va voom. If this perfume doesn't get you laid, nothing will. I got a few samples of this and like it on the whole. It is most definitely a floral scent, but it is not "light." It has a lot of...

Fracas is the ultimate tuberose, the uber tuber. And it really is the ultimate in white flower fragrances, a perfection of creamy tuberose and orange flowers. Fracas is basically a very linear,...

This a sexy and heady creamy tuberose fragrance that is definitely not for anyone who is a wall flower. Wear it with confidence if you dare and strut your stuff :)
