    Real talk

    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
    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
