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 wanted to try this fragrance after repeatedly reading about its 'cult' status and I was searching for signature scent. Was so sick of generic fragrances that are either a) overwhemling and...

    I love this!!! It is very strong though so have to apply very sparingly if I don't want to knock out my family. Such a beautiful enveloping fragrance, so distinctive!! This is one perfume that I...

    Everybody says this fragrance is so sexy, what's the big deal? I thought it smelled a bit older and I wasn't getting any "sexy" from it.

    I love the idea of Fracas and I really wanted to love this but I cannot. It's so very strong and heady- tuberose !!!!!! It gave me a headache. Probably a very lovely fragrance in small small doses...

    This is a fragrance that I picture a powerful career woman wearing. It reminds me of a more tame Sung by Alfred Sung, but I prefer the Sung because it makes more of a statement.

    This is STRONG. I have a 1ml sample, and I took the lid off and touched it to my skin, no more than that, and that was enough to perfume me quite as much as I liked. Other than that...this...

    This fragrance smells JUST LIKE...EXACTLY...CARBON COPY of the drugstore's Sand & Sable perfume. Believe me and go see for yourself. What a marketing insult.

    I have to admit, up until about a year ago I had never heard of this fragrance. I think I saw it mentioned in a magazine--maybe in Allure--as a classic fragrance. Then I got my paws on the...

    Now it all becomes clear to me, why Fracas is on every person's lips and why this lovely floral has become such a legend, this Tuberose Queen who has been put on a pedestal all these years. This...

    An iconic classic, which has become the supreme tuberose fragrance, by which all other tuberose fragrances are compared. It's confident, lush, and daring; a heady pungent tuberose with a strange...

    This fragrance intrigues me. The gardenia sweetness is lovely but during the drydown I find it develops something that I can't put my finger on that's not too pleasant. When I smell it I think of...
