What do reviewers say about Violette and Fracas?
Violet-forward fragrances walk a tightrope between romantic and one-dimensional. Violette lands on the right side, powdery enough to feel feminine, green enough to stay interesting.Violette
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
