After an hour, I got him to smell it again, and he said it was pretty nice. For me, it wasn't a "Oh my god I love this" perfume, but more of a "Hmm....I want to try this a few more times and see how it grows on me" type of scent.

If it turns out to be too much, there are lots of "intermediate" options. That’s a big step, from TBS to Fracas! If it turns out to be too much, there are lots of “intermediate” options.

So I ordered some samples, and one of them is Fracas. I just put it on about 10 minutes ago. I'm still not sure what to think about it...I'm intrigued. I'm not at all used to flowery scents, but I'm definitely not turned off by it. I'm looking forward to getting to know it better.

I couldn't use any of these words to describe my experience with Fracas. The odor of gardenia on the drydown was too prevalent for my taste. I bought it because it smelled so heavenly on an acquaintance, but it was not so on my skin. Too bold and too old, Fracas is a perfume that wears a woman - not the other way 'round.

And have heard the same rumor; don't know if it's true but they usually are...people always find out early what the next LE export will be. Thanks for the detailed description, that helps!
