The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1990 by Robert Piguet, Fracas for Men is a fragrance that balances bright citrus and fresh spicy notes with rich woody and musky accords. The opening of apple, lime, neroli, and bergamot sets a crisp tone before the heart of rose and teak wood adds depth and warmth. Patchouli and labdanum bring an earthy complexity to the base, which is rounded out by musk and vanilla for a lingering comfort.
One spray is sufficient to capture its complex layers. The bright citrus top notes are fleeting, so it's best applied in the morning or during cooler hours when the warmth of the base can linger without feeling heavy.
