Douglas Hannant Robert Piguet for women

I prefer Fracas. This one smells too fruity for me! Fracas is all about elegance, and this one is not even close!

If Fracas is Grace Kelly, this Douglas Hannant may be identified with Duchess Kate or any other contemporary style icon. Elegant and classy but unmistakably modern without having the cheap soapy feeling too many contemporary creations do possess.
If you love Fracas and you consider it as a standpoint with no followers, then you might be disappointed with DH, but if you see Fracas as an opportunity and your horizons are wide enough, this is a wonderful alternative.
The pear not is not too prominent, it just melts into the tubereuse and the gardenia and gives a little boost.
I am usually a purist and love the scents of the past, but this one does have something that makes me want to wear it every day.

I haven't smelled Fracas, so I have no comparison to it, but I can't stop smelling my wrist! This one is heavy on gardenia then comes the tuberose. I'm missing the orange flower and pear, but I'm sure they are in there somewhere. So far it's the perfect amount of floral and sweetness.

Longevity is very good and sillage is also good. This fragrance is definitely wearable to the office and any occasion day or night.

A very nice fragrance for white floral lovers!!

This is a strange ultra-strong sickly overly fruity pear-version of FRACAS. Think it's intended to attract a younger crowd to Piguet-perfumes, considering the fruity-punch a'la FRACAS-gone-bad. FRACAS is nice and classy. This made me feel real sick. Had to wash it off. (Ps. I own FRACAS -and love it)

Douglas Hannant spoke recently with regard to the launch of his inaguaral scent and after I was given a sample and... it appears to be a winner (we will see after my lady wears it out)! Classy and elegant but not in that "born to the manner" way. This is very approachable.

Put tuberose, gardenia and jasmine together and things get intoxicating but this done without the sledgemhammer!

Ok, the notes as I kscent them to be: orange blossom (love it) is short lived and works well with the gardenia. But, they soon depart and the march of the tuberose comes by (strong but restraint) and hangs around for awhile before the base of musk and sandelwood rounds it out.

Sillage is nice and longevity is most excellent.

This is indeed the new Fracas, but younger, rich, fruity and floral - very modern.
If I would not know, it´s from Douglas Hanannt/Piguet, I could swear, it´s from Guerlain.

The head smells like orange blossoms and is not too strong. It is really captivating. The middle notes is all about tuberose, but not so artificial, like Fracas is, but more naturally, exactly like Carnal Flower smells. This middle notes lasts much longer than Carnal Flower. DH lasts the whole day on me and became more and more intensive. For this reason I guess, they added aldehydes into it, too. Even the next day I got a nice whiff of it. If you like tuberose, loud and long lasting fragrances and fragrances like Carnal Flower, Fracas (which is more simpler, tamer and not so loud), and for example Blonde, you would love it.

A scent for all time - day or night and a perfect scent for hot and warm days. You can wear it in the office and in the bar also. But you have to test it, because it´s really strong tuberose in the middle part.
I am jumping around very happy to discover such a beautiful tuberose and orange blossoms fragrance!!!

It took a long time before I got to hear of a new Piguet fragrance.
I am not so much into florals but I can't wait to test this one, I do not know when it comes out here in Italy but it would be great to hear from fragranticans who have acces to it sooner
