    Real talk

    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
    Most tuberose fragrances want to be your grandmother's garden. Tuberosa wants to be the cocktail party after, champagne, laughter, a silk dress someone spilled on. Still floral. Also alive.Tuberosa
