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.

    This is an intense white floral, the first time I tried it I almost had to wash it off. I gave it another go and the second time it became a little creamier and bearable. I couldn't really pick out...

    What stands out is after Fracas dries and settles, the scent gives off puffs of freshly rained on gardenia, including a background of dewy green leaves. It smells so real and natural and magical. ...

    Can't do it. I just can't. And I'm disappointed, because I take some pride in being able to wear some very aggressively carnal perfumes. But Fracas is essentially tuberose X 10, and on me tuberose...

    Lush sultriness in a bottle. Lovely if lightly applied.

    I love this fragrance! Fracas is a creamy gardenia scent. Other people have said that Fracas is overpowering, but I don't find that at all. It is a fragrance that can be worn by young and old...

    A striking, intoxicating, heady white floral that dries down to a smooth, 'warm skin', carnal creaminess. Believe the hype with this one.

    Fracas is the bomb. This is an intoxicating floral. Upon initial spray, I thought Fracas to be a bit over the top. I imagine this is the fragrance of flowers when at full bloom but just when the...

    I don't wear a lot of florals, but Fracas works on me. It gets softer as the day wears on and reminds me of something earthy.

    Not everyone can wear Fracas. It is a special, powerful fragrance. If it doesn't agree with you, that is fine. You'll find something else. When you bond with it, you'll know. When you don't, you'll...

    I'm not very familiar with tuberose fragrances, and I generally don't even like anything ultra-feminine, but I wanted to try Fracas. To me, it's very pleasant. The floral is there, it's definitely...

    Warm gardenia and tuberose, so gorgeous! I can see where people might consider this a sexy bombshell fragrance. But to me, Fracas is clean and summery, smells a bit like the beach and fresh air....

    Gah! I don't even like white florals. They tend to induce headaches and smell fecal on me. That being said, Fracas has to be the best white floral I've ever smelled--and I can wear it. The only...

    This is a nice scent for a rich old lady. It's not sexy/fresh, but it does have an elegant smell. Imo there are tons of nicer perfumes out there, but it's not horrible. I just don't see why anyone...
