Fracas

Size & Concentration
Description

In the world of tuberose fragrances, there is Fracas and there is everything else. The name of the fragrance translates loosely to crash and the fragrance certainly lives up to its name. Initital reactions to the fragrance range from intense love to complete shock—tuberose being, as it is, a divisive aroma. The fragrance is at once buttery, warm, chic, carnal, and heady; but one thing it certainly is not: conventional.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
