Tuberose is a white flower with a bewitching scent that perfumers have learned to tame over the years. A scent that Isabelle Huppert particularly appreciates in the world of perfumery. And for good reason, in several interviews granted to the press in recent years, the 69-year-old actress has let it be known that she could not do without a fragrance signed Robert Piguet: Fracas.
Created in 1943, this fragrance is the greatest tuberose in perfumery. “It’s a very special, rare perfume, with a mysterious aura that creates a kind of complicity between those who know it and love it”, declared Isabelle Huppert about “Fracas” during a interview granted to Vogue in 2012… And 10 years later, in other words, the tastes of the legendary actress have not changed.
And for good reason, during an interview this time granted to Madame Figaro in October 2022, Isabelle Huppert indicated that she fell in love with tuberose. To the question “what is her perfume of the moment?” Isabelle Huppert indeed replied: “Carnal Flower from Éditions Frédéric Malle. A tuberose like in Fracas by Robert Piguet, which I wore a lot. »
A fragrance described as follows on the Galeries Lafayette website: “A first impression of innocence and freshness from the flower shop disperses to reveal a more luxuriant tuberose: these dark and spicy notes give way in turn to those of milky comfort, enhanced by white musk, to make bring out the aura of lingering sensuality of tuberose”. A perfume that can be found at the price of 165 euros.
