So yeah! Fracas is the ultimate tuberose queen/bombshell/take no prisoners. I love her for that but at the same time it makes it a bit harder to pull her off. If you ain't got the balls, she's gonna drag you around like there's no tomorrow. But on the days you crave her, and the stars align, she's just right. She is also the ultimate femme fatale fragrance. This is the reason that I feel guys with the right attitude can pull her off as well. When I do wear her, all I get is compliments and filthy looks. Grrr!!!! On my skin it opens up with a powdery violet/iris combo that turns into the creamiest most bubblegumy tuberose gardenia combo. No fooling around, nothing artificial, Fracas goes straight to the point. She knows what she's got and she ain't afraid to show it. The tuberose gardenia combo steals the show for me, and the orange blossom just shows at times to sweeten things up a bit. Some spicy carnation stirs thing up a bit along with geranium, but again the white floral part takes over. And I just swoon in its lush erotic creaminess! I have the eau de parfum, I get monster sillage for the first couple of hours, that quiets down a bit after that and 24 hour longevity, with a musky animalic drydown with just a hint of oakmoss. The parfum stays closer to the skin and feels more animalic up front, less powdery and more sweet. Both versions are incredible, and while the eau de parfum lacks the animalicness of the parfum until the late drydown, it doesn't feel weaker or cheaper. Just a bit louder, which you gotta admit: it's Fracas, she's earned it! Bottom line, amazing perfume, amazing quality, amazing perfumer. The reference tuberose to end all, Cellier has some masterpieces that are hard to beat, unimaginable in today's industry; which brand has the balls to launch this mother f****r today? Amazing on the right woman, and even more so on the right guy at the right time. Just go light on the trigger, she's a powerful one!
