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.

Love this! I don't understand the negative comments posted on this unless you are smelling it on someone else who's chemistry just doesn't work w/it. On me, it's soft and sexy, never...

Not my favorite fragrance (that would be Jicky) but one of the most distinctive, and the signature black bottle is a statement in itself. It's not for everyone, and a lot of people like the idea...

I'm in the "I just don't get it" camp. Please take into account the fact that I am a gourmand/oriental/vanilla lover. I'm not a floral gal. I do, however, enjoy fragrances with floral notes...

This smelled like cheap shower soap on me as soon as I put it on. Thinking my nose was clogged, I took a bottle home and tried to wear it for the next three days with the same result. It's not...

I remain completely flummoxed by those who detest this fragrance. I find it heavenly. Yes, it is somewhat 'loud' upon first spray, but it dries down to a beautiful tuberose-based floral that is...

A showy, shameless attention-seeker of a scent - fit to be worn only by a woman for whom men would throw down their lives and who knows it. Only a precious few can pull this off. On those who lack...

I love Fracas. To me, it reminds me of burnt strawberries, if there were such a thing, and I say that as a compliment. The packaging is sleek and chic, and this fragrance DEFINENTLY lasts. I...

Fracas has become one of my favorite scents to wear on evenings out, although I feel it's a little strong for the day. I do not have the language or expertise for describing the various notes, but...

I eventually went through an entire bottle of this, even though I wasn't very fond of it and I won't get it again. Probably it's classic reputation and my inability to throw perfume away kept me...

I always hated the idea of a signature fragrance because with so many commitments required in life, who would want to box themselves in with one fragrance? Then, one day I met Fracas. It was a...

I am in love. This is such a unique yet classic smell to me...easy to see why it's been around for so long. I don't find this overpowering at all and, believe it or not, does not last all day on...

You will love it or hate it. Tuberose, yes, but with almost a jasmine tea note that keeps it from being overly cloying. Very much a classic unsubtle floral. A Cinderella princess perfume. Go...

I have to rate this somewhere in the middle. Here's why: I love Fracas but ONLY in parfum form. The tuberose knocks me out in the edps and edts, but the parfum has a creaminess to it that seems...
