Petit Fracas
feminine
Created by Aurélien Guichard
Petit Fracas by Robert Piguet is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Petit Fracas was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Aurélien Guichard. Top notes are Pear, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Tuberose, Gardenia and Jasmine; base notes are Cacao, Musk and Sandalwood. Designed to appeal to a younger market who is not yet ready for classic fragrance Fracas, Petit Fracas is a chic floral bouquet, elegant and enchanting, but not too serious. This youthful fragrance is perfect for flirty fashionistas or fashionistas at heart. The tuberose note of classic Fracas is moved into the second tier in Petit Fracas. Opening with notes of fresh citrus (bergamot and mandarin) and pear, the floral heart of the fragrance reveals tuberose, in conjunction with jasmine and gardenia, atop a sweet base of cocoa, musk and sandalwood. The Petit Fracas packaging is the characteristic sleek black bottle of all Piguet fragrances, with a pink label and a whimsical heart adorning the 'i' in the fragrance's name.
