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.

The EDP is a bit harsh to me. But the parfum . . . wow. It's a fragrance that, in parfum form, melds with the warmth of my skin and becomes part of my natural scent. I feel comfortable in this....

I know a lot of people say that Fracas is a outgoing, loud, sexy, in-your-face kind of perfume. Hell, even the name "Fracas" implies it. So maybe I'm completely off base but I find Fracas to be...

This review is for the 0.25 perfume. I love this uber feminine perfume. A drop or two will do you as this is a true perfume and not eau de toilet. Tuberose heads this scent with notes of jasmine,...

This is, without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite scents! If you love Gardenia, and classic vintage perfumes, this one is for you. When I smell this fragrance, I imagine that the wearer...

One of my favorite scents ever!!! If you do not like musk though, steer clear. It's musky.

I spent years searching for a tuberose-dominated scent that was neither too heavy nor turned powdery on me. Fracas was it, and I've enjoyed every moment I've worn it. It's a rich scent where a...

Got the roller ball...I'm not too crazy about the initial tuberose bite in the beginning of Fracas, but I love it hours later when it becomes subtle and musky with hint of flowers...love it! Fracas...

Fracas is a perfume for women, not for girls. A Fracas woman is outgoing, confident, feminine, and sexy. Everyone's chemistry is different. I don't get any of the green, oil, rubber, butter,...

Fracas is one of my signature fragrances. It is heavy and rich with turberose, backed up by more rich white flowers: jasmine, gardenia, narcissus, and lily of the valley (muguet de bois). The...

Hate this frag. I don't know why people don't call THIS one old ladyish. To me it smells like all those smothering aunties and grannies from my 80's childhood.

Can't get enough of this! Wearing it makes me want to curse with joy -- it's a naughty, happy scent. As others have said, just a little will do. Even a dab will give good trail and it'll last all...

This scent makes me think of the South, and summer, and vintage dresses. It is NOT a scent to spritz liberally like a Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret spray. I use a teeny amount of the...

Kept smelling this at Sephora until I couldn't stand not owning a bottle so I had my hubby smell it on me and he fell in love too. What a lovely "surprise" on Xmas when I opened this black beauty!...

I was expecting a lot more of this vintage perfume. Unlike Chanel #5, also a vintage scent, Fracas comes off as cheap, cloying, and plastic-y. It lasts a pretty long time, and the 1 oz. perfume...

Love the bottle and packaging-- very iconic. My grandmother proudly displayed her Fracas on her dresser, next to the Jungle Gardenia by Tuvache (another heavy-hitter floral). As a child, I remember...

Fracas is art. It's a perfume that you wear for special events. Sometimes it reminds you of someone who wore it, or a place you have been. If you want to test it, but not buy a bottle, the roller...
