Robert Piguet Fracas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1948, created by Germaine Cellier. The fragrance opens with Peach, Orange Blossom, Hyacinth, and Green, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Fracas: Acquired

Fracas is the OG tuberose, a monumental, polarising fragrance that's either 'sex in a bottle' or cloying dated hairspray, depending on your skin and the day. Don't blind buy, but give this queen a respect she deserves.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Fracas is a powerhouse, often described as 'heavy' and 'loud', making it less suitable for office wear. Its voluptuous white floral and sensual character, frequently associated with 'grown women' and 'date night', make it perfect for formal events and romantic encounters.

About

Fracas erupts with a creamy, almost bubblegum-sweet tuberose, joined by a heady chorus of white florals like gardenia and jasmine. A surprising peachy fruitiness adds a lush, ripe dimension, balanced by hints of green and a musky, woody base. It's a grand, opulent floral, utterly unambiguous and full-bodied from start to finish.
