Fracas, created by Germaine Cellier for Robert Piguet in 1948, is a rich, creamy white floral built around tuberose. Flowers dominate almost completely, with a minority of people noticing woody, spicy, sweet, green or citrus shades.

The opening combines peach, orange blossom and hyacinth with bergamot and green leaves, giving a soft, fruity and slightly dewy start. The heart is the centre of the fragrance: tuberose and gardenia bring a buttery, almost fleshy richness, jasmine adds heady sweetness, and white iris lends a powdery calm. The base is quieter, with oakmoss, musk and sandalwood giving a smooth, slightly green and creamy finish.

Many wearers find it long lasting and a good share call it eternal, while the trail is often strong. It is voted for spring and autumn in similar numbers and leans slightly towards evening. It suits formal events, dinners and special occasions, for anyone who loves a bold, classic white floral with real presence.

Fracas — unisex fragrance by Robert Piguet (released 1948). Top notes: Peach, Orange Blossom, Hiacynth, Green Leaves, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot. Heart notes: Tuberose, Jasmine, Gardenia, Osmanthus, Narcissus, Lily-of-the-Valley, Carnation, White Iris, Violet Root, Coriander, Rose Geranium, Rose.
