What do reviewers say about Carnal Flower and Fracas?
This is not a safe blind buy. The tuberose here is bold, almost aggressive on some skin. But if you want a tuberose that smells like the actual flower in full sun, this earns its reputation.Carnal Flower
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
