Robert Piguet Fracas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1948, created by Germaine Cellier. Fracas opens with Hyacinth, Green, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Robert Piguet's Fracas carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

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.

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.
