ROBERT PIGUET FRACAS

Though launched, incredibly, in 1948; Fracas still smells just as exciting today, and we are overjoyed Piguet are reintroducing their fragrances to new generations, while carefully preserving their integrity. A name utterly deserving on any all-time classic list, there is barely a perfumista or expert in the world who won’t mention Fracas as a must-sniff – and with good reason, as you will now get to discover for yourself. A coveted ‘jewel in the crown’ of Robert Piguet parfums, Fracas, by perfumer Germaine Cellier, remains the ultimate tuberose against which all other tuberose fragrances must be matched. Beloved by Madonna and Courtney Love, the unrivalled pairing of opulent tuberose and jasmine make this lush, creamy composition a must-sniff, and a must-wear for divas who dare to fill a room and leave a trail of seduction.

Robert Piguet’s legendary designs earned him the nickname 'The Prince of Fashion', with artists and stars clustering around him and none other than Christian Dior declaring that Piguet "…taught me the virtues of simplicity through which elegance must come." With elegance plus panache, along with his immeasurable charm, it wasn’t long before the great and the good flocked to his doors demanding to be dressed by him. World-famous artists such as Jean Cocteau, Colette, and Jean Marais. Now, the Piguet perfumes have even eclipsed this fashion fame, with names iconic as emblems of daring femininity and a power that resonates through the ages.
