By the editors · 2 min readFracas opens with a lush white floral blast—tuberose front and center, its creamy indolic richness cutting through any sweetness the peach or citrus might suggest. This is tuberose unapologetic and full-bodied, surrounded by gardenia and jasmine that amplify rather than soften its presence. The effect is immediate and enveloping, closer to a narcotic than a polite introduction.
As it settles, the sandalwood and oakmoss provide a vintage structure that keeps the flowers from turning syrupy. There's a slight green edge from the moss, a woody dryness that anchors what could otherwise float away into pure opulence. The base never dominates but gives the composition enough shadow to feel substantial rather than ephemeral.
This is a perfume for those who want their presence noted without announcing it verbally—confident, uncompromising, and distinctly classical in execution. It suits evening wear and cooler weather best, though some wear it year-round as a signature.

Tuberose, handle with care
Tuberose doesn't do subtle. It fills the room, reads on the next person sitting beside you, and forms strong opinions in everyone present. Some of these lean creamy, some go full narcotic-indolic, one pairs it with leather and smoke in a way that feels almost confrontational. Wear accordingly.
