What do reviewers say about Chinatown and Fracas?
Tuberose doesn't ask permission. Neither does the cardamom. But somewhere in that slightly overwhelming opening is the scent people keep chasing, the one that stops strangers in their tracks.Chinatown
Fracas is not subtle and never pretends to be. The tuberose accord is aggressive, the projection is commanding, and this fragrance announces itself from across a room.Fracas
