Fracas

Fracas is an opulent, bold white floral masterpiece defined by its intense tuberose heart, which is both creamy and sensual. It opens with a vibrant burst of green leaves, bergamot, mandarin, and peach, leading into a rich bouquet of gardenia, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. The heart is dominated by lush tuberose, tempered by subtle floral depth and a subtly fruity sweetness, creating an intoxicating, romantic character. Its longevity is exceptional, with a powerful, far-reaching sillage that lingers for hours. The drydown reveals a warm, creamy, and woody base of sandalwood, musk, and vetiver, with some notes indicating a slightly animalic or metallic quality. While the current formulation is often described as less complex and slightly diluted compared to vintage versions—some users report a flatter, more linear development—it remains a vivid, high-intensity experience. It's best worn in cooler conditions, when the floral richness is highlighted, and is ideal for special occasions or moments when you want to make a bold, unforgettable statement. It is not for those seeking subtlety or understated elegance.
