The wearer was French, naturellement, clad in a red one-shouldered floor length gown, and she answered me as though speaking to a lesser being: “Well, Fracas, of course! I can only imagine the negative reviews are from people who don't like hardcore old-school styled colognes. I would love to have the exact date of when it was discontinued and when it came back, etc but haven’t been able to find it. They made every attempt to release a version of Fracas that was close to the original in terms of notes and appearance.

Turin, while often hilarious, does NOT seem to share my tastes and I’ve had many moments of absolute bafflement while reading his reviews… I sometimes wonder if we’re even smelling the same perfume. Intoxicating fragrance in Parisian style, known for its refined simplicity, and as an object of desire for women all over the world. r/fragrance is an inclusive, adult community for discussing finished retail perfumes and other scented personal and home-care products. Top notes smells pink, Heart notes smells red and green and Base notes smells crimson shade (deep red purple). Clearly, a hint of scandal was exactly what Cellier wanted in her perfume and in her marketing (Don Draper would totally have given her the slow clap.

I mainly think of this as a tuberose heavy fragrance, what with its bubblegum sweetness, ladylike smell and indolic and animalic qualities. It was a scent that I always thought was exuberantly joyful and happy, but which seemed to seduce whomever came within ten feet of it. I don’t think most women under 30 would be able to appreciate it also think it’s better suited for a more mature woman’s body chemistry. Writing in the first part of the 21st century, he noted that recent reformulations had brought the scent closer to Cellier's original, as compared with "threadbare" versions sold in the 1980s.

Floral fragrance with the tuberose as the absolute protagonist, the most representative in the history of world perfumery. Top notes are Peach, Orange Blossom, Hiacynth, Green Leaves, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Tuberose, Jasmine, Gardenia, Osmanthus, Narcissus, Lily-of-the-Valley, Carnation, White Iris, Violet Root, Coriander, Rose Geranium and Rose; base notes are Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Vetiver and Cedar. As it develops a little, a nice fruity edge emerges; subtle, but enhancing the sweet component of the tuberose nicely. Add natural violet leaf to give the sweet, heavy scent a refreshingly harsh, wet green aspect, iris for a woody depth, synthetic civet (the smell of unwashed construction worker) for power, the synthetics C18 for an unctuous, milky, soft tropical quality and methyl anthranilate for fizz.While I admire the composition and I love white florals, I would be hesitant to wear this perfume nowadays in public. There's also a bit of a Drakkar Noir thing going on but with more rose and apple or rather a fruity floral air than a green air. This fragrance lasts quite a while, if you were to spray this in the evening you will notice you still smell like a tuberose princess the next morning.
