Drops of Bliss, or: with you I cannot be sad...
Parti Pris is for me like a lovely girl: cuddly and bright, radiant, happy, enchanting, dancing through gentle morning dew or the first, crisp frost.
She is aware of her grace and loveliness, without using it to her advantage. When her surroundings address her, she only lets a silver laugh ring out, which inevitably infects those around her. She prefers to wear flowing dresses in white or pastel, which are trimmed with ruffles around her ankles. When she walks through gentle meadows in them, the wind rustles through them.
For me, Parti Pris seems to have sprung from a Jane Austen novel.
The scent has a striking similarity to Gaultier's Classique from top to heart note, which I attribute mainly to the orange blossom. However, here the orange blossom is neither alcoholic nor peppery, but rather accompanied by a generous dollop of the finest cream. This creaminess runs through the entire scent journey and makes Parti Pris incredibly cuddly and soothing.
Unlike Classique, I would not call Parti Pris "sexy" (nothing could be further from Jane Austen!), the allure arises more from a natural beauty and cheerful elegance.
For this very reason, Parti Pris is also not a sillage monster, but a skin scent that is close to the body, which acts and radiates like a natural aura.
When I wear this scent, I simply cannot succumb to any melancholy or bad mood - with you, Parti Pris, you beautiful girl, I cannot be sad!

I don't find it similar to Classique at all. Here I also smell smoky notes and the cistus right from the start. And I smell the tuberose more strongly than the orange blossom. Or are there different batches?
