The year was 1947.
Perfume maverick Germaine Cellier created
Fracas, the landmark tuberose perfume against which all others are measured up to till this day. In 1999, Fashion Fragrances & Cosmetics, current owner of the Piguet fragrances liecence, enlisted perfumer Aurelien Guichard to re-introduce
Fracas on the modern market after a fallow period, with a slight reformulation, working on the original formula.
The legendary white floral is now accompanied by its first flanker for the first time,
Petit Fracas, a lighter, more youthful interpretation of the 1999 reformulation with cocoa. Aurelien Guichard is the nose again.
Notes for Robert Piguet
Petit Fracas: Bergamot, mandarin, pear,jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, musk, sandalwood and cocoa. Petit Fracas will be available in September 2012, 100ml/$150.
