    I once wore this on a plane and felt terrible when Fracas caused a dramatic allergic reaction by my stranger-seatmate. I love it, but it is heavy and potent. To be used sparingly.

    It's a bit... ok, a bit more - slutty. But also veeery classy. These 2 qualities ,make it unique. Is has a strong character, gets noticed, just like the woman who wears it.

    Well, yeah, wearing this perfume will force you to look at your best, no doubt about it, and will inspire you some flirty, kinda immodest confidence. And you may wanna give up the lightish conservative clothes and put on something classy that attracts admiring glances from both women and men.

    Well, not an everyday perfume, that's for sure. But it makes you want spoil yourself with self-given ocasions to wear it more often. Cause when you wear it, you must be you at your best, relaxed, confident, and feeling great.

    About the smell itself- creamy strong tuberose, but you have to smell it to really know what it's like, to know it's grand personality.

    Thumbs up all the way!

    Fracas is a big, wonderful fragrance and a little goes a long, long way. I'm not sure that I've ever smelled a tuberose flower, but I do know the scent of gardenias very well. To my nose, Fracas = Gardenia.

    In fact, Fracas reminds me very much of an old fragrance called 'Jungle Gardenia' that I kept to brighten my mood on cold winter days. It was a cheapie, but good for the house. Just the same, it will be a long time before styles change so much that a man could wear Fracas or Jungle Gardenia in public without raising eyebrows.

    Two salient facts regarding Fracas:

    1.) It’s beautiful.

    2.) It can knock down a charging bull elephant at 100 yards.

    If you can wear it, more power to you. Most women I smell it on apply far, far too much, which is to say more than one spray. Please, for the love of god, keep it light ladies. Upon overexposure, Fracas becomes extremely tiresome.

    Also be aware that Fracas is one of the two most instantly recognizable perfumes of all time. (Chanel No. 5 is the other.) People will say to themselves “Oh, she’s wearing Fracas.” If that thought bothers you, consider another tuberose.

    As an aside: I am a man. I wear tuberose. I wear Carnal Flower. I wear Tubéreuse Criminelle. I will not wear Fracas.

    I wore this in the early 70s. It is sweet, but there is something about it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a flowery perfume. Also, I find the Vintage formula doesnt have that light burning smell like the new stuff has. But they tell me it has not been reformulated. So....maybe they can't use the exact ingredients in it like the old days. Didnt they use to use whale blubber??

    There's a trick to wearing this beautiful scent, and that is to use very little. Just as I wouldn't set my stereo speakers in the windows and blast the whole neighborhood every time I wanted to hear a bit of Wagner, so it is with Fracas. Those who own the eau de parfum in the spray bottle, you may want to consider spraying one small spray into the cap, then using your finger to daub just a bit on.

    The scent is different to me depending on how much I'm wearing. When I wore Fracas as I would any other fragrance---by spraying it directly onto the skin---my main impression was that of jonquil. Now I detect more tuberose and the experience is delightful.
