  If Nahema is the rose, Fracas is the narcissus: two diva queens competing for the universe. It’s hard to see them together; Fracas is extravagant and either makes you fall in love or kills you. It’s one of the best in narcissus, almost the only one, and like No. 5, there are so many fakes it hurts. It’s ambitious, mixing jasmine, narcissus, orange blossom, and gardenia, but the narcissus rules. At first, it didn’t hook me, just like with Nahema, but with a little on the skin, the result is spectacular. Both last forever.

  If Nahema is to Rose, then Fracas is to Narcissus. Each shines and reigns supreme in its own flower. They are divas, competitive, wanting it all, with the universe spinning around them. It’s surely hard to have both in the same space. Fracas is extravagant and intoxicating; you either love it or hate it. And no one disputes that, for interpreting narcissus, it is one of the best (or the best). I’ve seen as many fake copies of this perfume as I have of Chanel No. 5. Fracas has a bit of everything; it’s so ambitious it can’t be the fruit of a single flower; it wants the finest whites to play in its favor. Jasmine, narcissus, orange blossom, and gardenia stand out above the rest. Narcissus clearly takes the lead. It took me a while to understand and appreciate it, and like with Nahema, I think you only need to apply a minimum to get a spectacular result. The longevity of both fragrances is excellent.

  Impressive. A perfume with 24 notes; you can’t find one like that anymore, meaning the level of craftsmanship is perfect. I bought a miniature 7 years ago in my country, Chile; I loved it because it lasted a long time and was captivating; it’s a very elegant perfume, you can wear it day or night. I searched for it for a long time but didn’t find it until I traveled to Europe; I looked in many countries but found it in Rome. Well, since it’s so exclusive, the price was very high… still, I bought it because you can’t miss this opportunity when you see one.

  Fracas by Robert Piguet. This scent discovers and fosters my inner diva! Fracas has a sophistication that enhances the personality of an extremely feminine woman who has the world at her feet; its opening is a voluptuous, opulent ‘wow’. The tuberose and vanilla in harmony give a spectacular result… it transported me to a silk divan where, reclining and relaxing on the stage of a theater, I began to sing in an expensive long dress studded with crystals, a fan with ostrich feathers, and extra-high stiletto heels. The spotlight on me, wow! A total star effect. Fracas by Robert Piguet is a floral fragrance for women, opening with orange blossom, mandarin, green leaves, beautiful flashes of apricot, hyacinth, and bergamot; then moving to notes of coriander, carnation, tuberose, violet root, scented geranium, osmanthus, jasmine, valley lily, white iris, rose, narcissus, and gardenia in a juicy blend. A sumptuous dry-down of sandalwood, amber, musk, oakmoss, cedar, and vetiver turn this fragrance into a sophisticated, refined, exquisite, cosmopolitan nectar. 12 hours of longevity on skin, days on clothes. Powerful sillage. It’s not a perfume for daily wear; it’s special. I’m fascinated by it for nights in any season of the year; it’s a party fragrance. Fracas was launched in 1948. The nose behind this fragrance is Germaine Cellier, and although it was created last century, I perfectly understand why it won the FiFi Award Hall of Fame in 2006: it’s a masterpiece with the virtue of being timeless, a wonder.

  Fantastic, I love it. Huge longevity, massive sillage with just two sprays. It’s divine.

  A bouquet of flowers with beloved, brilliant, sweet, elegant, outstanding, and tremendous tuberose as the stars. A bouquet placed near a bowl of fruit and warm air coming through the window. On skin, it releases a fresh sweetness, something distinctive of a pronounced tuberose. I’ve read and heard that some people find that sweetness similar to bubblegum in the nose; I understand the comparison, but it’s not a plastic or sticky smell; it’s natural and creamy, a sweetness that doesn’t cloy but intoxicates. It has excellent projection, though I still enjoy being close to the skin and smelling it with my nose pressed to the arm; it’s like an embrace on the skin, elevating it. And just like with Blonde by Versace, I notice a tuberose rising to such wonderful, sharp power that it’s almost fruity. Unlike Blonde, this feels less animalistic and nocturnal; I perceive it as more daytime and innocent; it paints the skin with a creamy, divine floral musk, fresher and less coarse than other similar ones I’ve tried (which I also like a lot; I don’t despise them). Only that Fracas plays in a more chameleon-like league. I can imagine many types of people using this: from someone with more structured, dark, minimalist tastes to someone with more baroque, sweet, and ethereal preferences.

  A bouquet of bright, slightly sweet narcissus, paired with fruit and fresh air from the window. On the skin, it’s a natural, creamy sweetness—nothing like bubblegum or plastic, but something intoxicating without being cloying. The projection is excellent, though in the end, it becomes an intimate embrace on the skin that elevates it. It smells like a potent, almost fruity tuberose, yet less animalic than Versace’s Blonde; here there’s something daytime and innocent, a soft, fresh floral musk. It’s chameleon-like: it suits everything from minimalist and dark types to baroque and ethereal people.

  I’m sitting here in this warm September midnight, longing for my beloved Fracas. I don’t have it in my hands anymore. The first time I smelled it, I fell deeply in love, but I eventually sold it to a friend in the fragrance world who would truly enjoy it more than I did (and have many more chances to wear it). I felt its delicate, ethereal beauty was too much for the chaotic, busy life of a young adult with so many problems… someone starting to mature, getting swept up in momentary pleasures without thinking of consequences, and struggling to take a breath to reflect on whether they were on the right path and taking care of their physical and mental health. Now, having overcome so many adversities, I’d love to have it by my side again, but I know life will bring us back together at the right moment… when I can love it with all my heart as it deserves. As for the scent, it seems to me the most perfect floral I’ve ever smelled. It has everything that intoxicates and arouses: the imposing tuberose sweeping everything in its path, the right dose of creamy jasmine and gardenia to accompany it, a velvety and slightly juicy touch of peach, and an exquisite base with so many notes shining together: especially sandalwood, iris root (which makes it slightly powdery but not too much), vetiver, a bit of rose, and the unmistakable genuine old-fashioned oakmoss that gave all fragrant creations (especially florals) a tremendous realistic, juicy, exquisite touch… Simply put, Fracas must be the perfume I’ll always dream of making our love story come true. My review is based on the black, opaque, cubic bottle with an elongated cap from 1993, produced by Alfin Fragrances Inc.

  I absolutely love tuberose, and this perfume is a total hit. Fracas, you came way too late into my life. Where the hell can I find this in 2024? It’s not as flashy as my favorite, Carolina Herrera NY, but I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist and the sample bottle (0.5ml) they gave me with another purchase, which I still keep. 0.5ml!!! It’s a cruel joke making me keep that little amount, lol.

  I love narcissus and this perfume… Fracas, you came late to my life. Where can I find it in 2024? It’s not as dressed up as my favorite, Carolina Herrera Good Girl, but I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist and the 0.5 ml sample bottle they gave me. 0.5 ml!!! It’s a cruel joke to give me that, haha.
