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.

    I thought I'd try this since I found it on Ebay for half price- $45. I must admit that I don't particularly like it and neither does my DH. I'll probably pass it on to a co-worker since I did...

    Eh. Why do I feel so blah about this? It's a very pretty, feminine white floral, very classic and pure. It's nice, but I just can't get that excited about it somehow. I prefer Monyette Paris for a...

    Extreme caution must be used when attempting to wear Fracas. Overdo it and Fracas will wear you. It will flatten all in its path with its mega-tuberose bouquet. On the other hand, a few...

    I sprayed this on at Sephora 1 day to see what the fuss was about. It smelt old ladyish at first and very VERY strong but dried down to a standable flowery smell after a while. It lasted a few...

    This is similar to the hated Kai with that loud cheap synthetic gardenia note that could be used in surgery as an anesthetic, the way it clobbers you over the head and knocks you out. It is ether,...

    When I was younger, I was obsessed with candles. I had one that I would light, leave the room for a bit, and after an hour or so of this particular candle burning, would come back and enjoy. It...

    Fracas has been described as a histrionic attention whore, the tuberose to end all tuberoses, the perfume you’d never bring home to Mom. I have to say that my own mother, however, is rather demure,...

    This is a warm, heavy, gorgeous elegant tuberose. Unbelievably gorgeous and elegant. I can see this being a daily perfume for me in a few years. Just gorgeous.

    I tried a sample and was not impressed. Overpowering at the beginning, it turns into an inoffensive generic fragrance after a few hours. Very expensive.

    I love Fracas! To be a classic scent, it smells very modern to me. I can't see anyone ever referring to this as an "old lady scent." It's said to have been one of Marilyn Monroe's favorites (along...

    I *love* this perfume because my body chemistry so limits what I can wear. Of perfumes still available, the only other one that smells good on me is Chanel #5. Sadly, my husband doesn't like Fracas...

    This has been my signature fragrance for years. I think you either love it or hate it. I think fragrances do not work the same on all of us due to body chemistry. For myself I use the shower gel,...

    I love this fragrance! For me it is a very lovely, creamy gardenia scent, but it is not a fragrance for the woman that doesn't like gardenia or tuberose. It is a bit expensive, and I have to...

    This a beautiful, well-crafted fragrance. The only reason why I’m giving it four lippies and not five is that there are about other tuberose scents that I love even more: American Beauty Beloved...
