Comforting Soul Soother

This perfume captivated me immediately.
First, a warmly inviting, almost fresh tuberose enchants the senses, soon it steps back and lets the warmer flowers of ylang and rose take the stage.
They are supported by a wonderfully charming blend of sandalwood, tolu, and a hint of vanilla.
I can't detect any incense, and vetiver remains very subtle, which is good in this case. Perhaps it is precisely these two that provide the skillful balance in this scent.
This perfume is feminine and very suitable for everyday wear, modern.
Well done, and its charm lies in its discreet restraint for me.
I can smell it very well on myself, but it won't overwhelm my surroundings.
The bottle is also lovely, with a touch of nostalgia, it fits nicely in the hand in the 50ml(!) version.
I don’t mind having to reapply in the evening to enjoy the lovely tuberose again; it’s a little flacon that I gladly carry around.
"Parti Pris" comforts me just as much after a not-so-great day as it does while lounging on the sofa after a bad crime show.
And in the morning, it lifts my spirits; what more could I want?

Yes, dear Snoozy, I feel the same way about it-absolutely enchanting! I can't detect any incense either. :) It's a practical tuberose for daily wear! :)

Beautiful scent, Snoozy, you described it well. I don't smell much of the tuberose. But this dark fruity vanilla really has a sense of comfort.
