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.

Fracas is one of those fragrances that don' t fit my usual "rules". I tend to like green or woods scents more. On the whole, I tend to find florals unpleasant (particularly white florals). At best,...

This scent is sex in a bottle. I apply one tiny spritz to my wrist when I'm going out at night, which is more than enough to then dab on my other wrist and pulse points - and it lasts all night....

This is one of my favorite fragrances! A glorious diva white floral that's centered on tuberose, it will leave everyone around you glaring at you and sneezing unless you apply it with a light...

I'm not a big fan of tuberose, so I am a bit biased here. However, I couldn't resist sampling it at Sephora after reading the stellar reviews here. Well, I still don't care for tuberose, but I will...

Fracas surprised me. I guess all the warnings and hype had me expecting a scent that would come snarling out of the bottle to take over the world and knock people flat at ten paces. Instead, I...

Since this is such a classic fragrance, I thought I should, at the very least, appreciate it. Sorry, Charlie. It makes me vaguely nauseous. Classic? Classic little old blue-haired lady methinks.

I love this fragrance. I first tested it at a Sephora and loved it then, but was reluctant to buy a bottle. I tested it a second time at another store and felt that I could live without it. I got...

To be honest, I have not purchased Fracas but I have sampled it many many times. I love tuberrose and I do appreciate Fracas for being a classic but, I would have to go with Tuberrose Gardenia...

One of my four "must haves". When I first smelled this from the bottle, I have to confess, I did not like it. Too strong, too sweet, too everything. After applying to my skin, I fell in love...

I have never in my life liked a white floral until I received a sample of this. I was immediately intriqued with it and every time I used it I liked it more. My husband even likes it. I know I...

I love this stuff, but it was definitely an acquired taste. The first time I sampled it, I thought, "Oh. My. Gawd! This is awful!" But I kept sniffing my wrist and appreciated how it evolved on my...

I am a latecomer to all things tuberose. I used to find it smothering and gag-worthy. Then my nose evolved through indolic jasmine inhalation (A La Nuit), and I think my tastes changed. A lovely...

If you like gardenia or tuberose you will love this. It is LUSH and strong...and lasts. It is heavenly. I do not get old lady from this at all...I tend to get old lady from most of the Estee...
