Sincere

Sincere is the house's tribute to a mother's love: peach fuzz, condensed milk and the sweetness of skin. It opens with warm milk, ginger blossom and peach. Orris, ylang-ylang and ambrette form a powdery, creamy heart, and saffron, amber, coconut and musk give a balmy, soft base. The dominant impression is lactonic and cuddly. Wearers talk about milky peach, baby-bath comfort and a soft, powdery musk, and many call it cosy, calming and easy to wear. The ginger and saffron cut through the sweetness, and for some that spice turns savoury: a vocal minority smell curry, and a few smell popcorn or chalk. Reactions vary from one skin or decant to the next, so it is worth sampling. Performance is soft. Votes describe moderate longevity and moderate to intimate projection, and accounts range from under an hour on some skins to six hours or more on others, with a longer trail on cloth. Autumn and winter lead the season votes, spring follows, and day wear outnumbers night. Sincere is the soft half of a pair with Devious, and the house says the two can be layered in either order. Votes on gender lean unisex or feminine. It suits someone who wants a gentle, milky skin scent for cool days. It is a 50ml extrait de parfum with a 20% oil concentrate.
