From your scent profile
Robert Piguet Petit Fracas is a sweet, powdery feminine scent that links a fresh opening of pear, mandarin orange and bergamot to a white-floral heart of jasmine, tuberose and gardenia.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

PowderyWhat does Petit Fracas smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest spring and fall, though summer and winter are not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and is also chosen for daytime and nights out. Voters clearly read it as feminine.
Citrus and fruit come first, then the flowers take over. In the base, musk, sandalwood and cocoa soften it into a gourmand sweetness and a woody, powdery finish. The overall feel is floral and fruity.
