Terry de Gunzburg Parti Pris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner, Sidonie Lancesseur, Jacques Fleury, and Arthur Le Tourneur d’Ison. Parti Pris opens with Mandarin and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Rose, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Terry de Gunzburg's Parti Pris carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive darling: some call it a soft, elegant vanilla floral, others get a "pickle juice" or cloying ylang-ylang nightmare. Approach with caution, as it's definitely not for everyone, despite its gentle reputation.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Parti Pris opens with a subtle zing of mandarin and the classic elegance of orange blossom, quickly ushering in a heart dominated by the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang and tuberose, tempered by a delicate rose. As it settles, a warm, enveloping base emerges with balsamic vanilla and sandalwood, softened by hints of tobacco and incense, creating a dreamy, powdery finish.
