From Fragrance Vault owner Jana:
"The iconic creation by Germaine Cellier, Fracas was first launched in 1948 by the house of Robert Piguet and then reissued in 1998. An intoxicating fragrance in Parisian style, Fracas is known for its refined simplicity, and as an object of desire for women all over the world. Fracas is glamorous and comfortable at the same time, modern and provocative. It is ultra feminine and sexy!
The composition of this fragrance is enchanting… Fracas opens with freshly sweet notes of bergamot, mandarin, and lilac. The heart brings lovely fusion of white flowers. Tuberose, exuberant and seductive, nicely blends with pure, clear and intensive notes of jasmine, white narcissus, gardenia, lily of the valley and white iris, with a hint of orange blossom and violet embraced by sandalwood, vetiver and sensual musk in the base."
