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 was 16, I received Fracas for Christmas as part of a coffret; it included Ombre Rose among others. I fell in love with it. The scent is intoxicating; I feel instantly elevated when I wear...

    Screaming tuberose. Subtle it ain't and sillage galore. Men find it sexy as the devil. Go figure. At least it's not another ubiquitous vanilla scented number. The trick to wearing this white...

    Fracas....it's like there was a vat of cheap stale 'ol rose-funk and they gave half to Stella McCartney 'Stella' and the other half to Fracas and said "Just put them in a gorgeous bottle and it...

    Since the notes have already been well-covered by others, I would rather, eccentrically, characterize. Greta Garbo in a bottle: no sparkle nor laugh (Ninotchka notwithstanding), more beautiful...

    Wow, I love this scent and will probably wear it for the rest of my life. It smells so sophisticated and French and womanly. It's soft and strong at the same time. Makes me think of Europe and...

    Bombshell gardenia? A big No! Smells like a combo of drawn butter (think lobster) and tropical tanning oil.

    I got this for a great price on VictoriasSecret.com, so I thought I'd give it a try. The tuberose does seem strong at first, as others have mentioned, but it fades nicely. This is a great scent...

    Tuberose overkill! Not that it's a bad thing in my book... Took me a while to get used to this. I've been so used to wearing heavy orientals, aldehyde-laden fragrances, and overall spicy scents. I...

    This smells very “vintage” imo, as it has powdery drydown. If you love anything in Chanel n.5 or L’Air du Temps category, this is for you. It is soft white floral blend with a hint of geranium or...

    I really like tuberose needless to say my husband does not. I guess it's the chick flick of fragrance notes. Anyway I like this fragrance, to me it's a little louder than MH's or should I say a...

    There is just something about Fracas that agrees with my body chemistry. Usually I would not enjoy such a heavy fragrance, but with my skin, it just works. Enough for me to declare that I may...

    A pure gorgeous tuberose. But you have to like tuberose and it has to work on your chemistry, which this doesn't. Try it on, ladies. It will work for most of you, and some of you will find your HG,...
