Falling for this season’s nostalgic mood sets the stage for discovering our mother’s stylist past. Invest in a classic scent, Fracas by Robert Piguet, first issued in 1948. Never tame, full of shocking sensuality, redolent of dusk and heated skin with a fascinating note of tuberose; the “queen of the night” which Victorian girls were forbidden to smell in case they had a spontaneous, much frowned-upon orgasm!
