This one is an odd one. Opens with a massive dose of talcum powder (tuberose). Definitely feminine. Not much development, complexity. A very linear scent. Pleasant, but nothing special or worth the asking price.
Overall rating: ⭐⭐ out of 5.

This perfume is strange.. over winter in London all I got was a light citrus jasmine, very soft and lovely. In humid hot weather, it turned into this balsamic vanilla monster, which is a super super love for me. On my skin, it isn’t powdery, it’s very creamy. Just can’t stop sniffing my arms. This scent is totally different than any of my other perfumes. It’s going straight to my top tier fragrance pick.

This warm and lovely concoction is akin to Tom Ford’s Velvet Orchid; a little less spicy and a bit more vanilla. It’s pretty but not twee.
It’s not very original or particularly tuberose, either. The flower here is rich and oriental, with a strong heart of vanilla, nothing at all like Fracas.
I already have Velvet Orchid, so I don’t need this one, too.

Parti Pris by Terry De Gunzburg- A Beautiful Fragrance. Vanilla, Tuberose, Ylang, Labdanum, Turkish Rose, Tolu Balsam are the notes that stood out most for me of the twelve notes listed. Vanilla and Tuberose dominate throughout. Labdanum and Tolu Balsam hold third and fourth place. Turkish rose and ylang lurk below but are still noticable. Parti Pris maintains a very elegant warm personality, never flamboyant or waving it’s banner. It sits and listens rather than stomps and speaks loudly. It radiates gently like soft waves on a placid lake. This softness, however, is not a sign of weakness, No, It maintains a moderate sillage with an impressive longevity for such a soft fragrance. It was still noticeable after eight hours. Although designed for women, this also works great for men, and although it worked well on me, As a man I, personally, would rather go for something with more strength! More daring! Much more noisy! But that’s just me. I like to push boundaries.
Parti Pris by Terry De Gunzburg- A very lovely, gentle, long lasting perfume.

I usually love tuberose perfumes, my top ones are Carnal Flower by Malle and Beyond Love by Kilian. This one though, smells more of talcum powder than tuberose. It’s nice but not something I would choose for a perfume.

Parti Pris is a feminine vanilla floral and it reminds me a bit of Bond No 9 West Side after I have had West Side on for about 10 hours. They smell NOTHING alike in the opening or the first hour. West Side is a very boozy, potent fragrance but it softens into a rosy vanilla and the very VERY far dry down reminds me slightly of Parti Pris. PP is a pleasant enough fragrance but really soft and not very remarkable. But it is a pretty, sweet, floral vanilla very light on the tuberose.

This is very pretty, spring smelling scent, light lovely tuberose, but 4 noses and they couldn’t create better longevity or more complexity!? For the price I would have expected more, more depth, more nuances,this is real nice, but not willing to pay so much I admit.

Nice enough, not a heavy hitter such as Versace’s Blonde or Fracas here, the tuberose is very much subdued. Some vanilla,maybe a dash of something floral and thats it. Doesn’t develop much either.
fenix-grav – :
This one is not a tipical tuberose scent. The stingy face of tuberose turns up at the very beggining, arm in arm with the creamy, though contradictory ylang, with some dry, greenish vetiver in the background. Than the whole juice turns into a very sweet vanillic stuff, linear, one sided, and indifferent. It is a “safe” frag, nothing special, and really poor on tuberose.

I don’t like tuberose scents, they are too usually too flowery for my taste. I love Party Pris. Mild tuberose and ylang, balsamy, mysterious, soft, feminine and at the same time clean and sexy. I even feel a mild touch of coconut at moments. Changing continuously on my skin and it lasts forever. I bet men will love it on a female!
