By the editors · 2 min readParti Pris opens with tuberose in full force — creamy, indolic, and slightly waxy. It announces itself without apology, leaning into the flower's more carnal edge rather than softening it.
Ylang-ylang deepens the floral phase with a rubbery, banana-adjacent richness that keeps things from reading as conventional white-floral. The base arrives gradually — sandalwood and labdanum lay down a warm resinous floor, while frankincense adds a dry, smoky counterpoint that cuts through the sweetness.
Vetiver and vanilla close the loop, grounding the composition without burying it. The result is a white-floral built for evening: dense, deliberate, and persistent on skin.
