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 notes in Fracas are amazing. My nose picks up the tuberose, gardenia, orange blossom, sandalwood. I find Fracas akin in "feel" to 24 Faubourg, Paris, and La Chasse. Classic, creamy, and...

    Fracas has to be the most lush and distinctive fragrance I've worn over the years. Never has it failed to elicit compliments galore. I love wearing it in the spring and summer, but because of its...

    Back in it's day, it may have been groundbreaking. Hell, the bottle is beautiful. Nowadays so many perfumes smell like this, it seems pointless to wearing it. A pure flower with NO green.

    I'm kinda confused about this one. First off, I love white florals. I even have a Tuberose candle by Henri Bendel that I just LOOOOOVE, but this particular fragrance (Fracas) rubs me the wrong...

    I bought Fracas in the lotion form. (Even I wouldn't subject innocent bystanders to Fracas during an LA summer!) And even in this softer, more subdued incarnation, the tuberose just *throbs.*...

    On me Fracas is a soft, sweet, floral. Into the dryout it actually takes on a clean edge. The parfum is a bit more animalic than the EdP, but generally I find them to dry out similarly. While...

    There's a good reason this is a legendary fragrance. The purity of the gardenia is just amazing. Both warm and sophisticated. Wonderful.

    I waited a long time before buying this one and really tested it over and over because it is an intense heady floral. I've had other tuberrose perfumes, like Michael, and I got tiered of them...

    Fracas is very similar to Versace Blonde. I love Blonde. When I first took a whiff of Fracas, I immediately thought, "Blonde!" Not quite. While Blonde is rounder and well-blended, Fracas is sharp...

    I, like some other reviewers here, wanted so badly to like this but it didn't reciprocate. Way too overpowering floral ON me, though I like the scent. I came home to find the cats had knocked it...

    The smell reminds me too much of my favorite hairspray from the company, Aussie. On my skin, it turns a little soapy and my boyfriend didn't seem to be a fan of it either. Definitely try it before...

    i just love this in the bottle but it does not love me back. my skin turns fracas into a dangly sickly floral car air freshener. *sigh* sample first.

    My all-time favorite scent. I always get loads of compliments when I wear it. Distinctive--people either love it or hate it. You've got love tuberose and jasmine to loveFracas.
