Sincerely

I can't believe I have never smelled this until recently! Actually, I have never even heard of this line, but received a sample the other day in a beauty subscription bag. It is very white floral dominant, but turns refreshingly citrus with a beguiling effervescent and salty twist on my skin at its last (base) unfolding. It is quite strong when first applied, but I would not say to use it sparingly, as it dies down quickly and settles in to a pleasant floral that is not overbearing (on my skin). My husband complimented me immediately both times I have tried it on. I will be toting this along to the Caribbean with us for our holiday next month as I think it works well in the heat. Cheers :)

Not really a review - just more for anyone looking for information: I have spoken to the peeps at Harvey Prince, and this perfume has been rebranded and used to be called Classico by Jo'rel Parker (not "Journey", which is what the description says above - that is incorrect). So if you are looking for the old Jo'rel Parker Classico, this is the one to get! It's the same scent with a different name. That explains why I couldn't find it on this website!! Beautiful perfume, I received a mini roller ball in a beauty box about 3 years ago and am going to buy a big bottle now. I'm in love with it.

I have 4 little bottles of pure oil of musk that a friend obtained while visiting Kashmir in the early 80s. The bottles are stoppered and have screw on caps. There is a scent that collects around the stoppers, inside the caps; it's the smell of pure water. I know it sounds strange and water doesn't really smell, but this is like the purity of water. I'm sure it has something to do with the musk being able to oxidize the tiniest bit there. It's completely different from the musk inside the vials and I wouldn't necessarily describe it as ozonic, but some might. Anyway, this is the exact scent that opens Sincerely; a blast of fresh purity. I adore the moments of this. It then morphs into well-blended white flowers; okay but not spectacular. And for the late drydown it changes again. The woods take over and it DRIES out. This part is lovely and airy. The opening and ending are spectacular but I don't enjoy the heart enough to obtain this.

A beautiful sweet/tart floriental. Perfectly casual yet still carries an air of elegance and exotic flair. Fragrantica seems to be missing a few notes, so here hey are from the Harvey Prince website: Notes: Indonesian Clove Bud, Australian Sandalwood, Moroccan Rose, French Bergamot, Indian Tuberose, Japanese Orange Flower, Lebanese Cedarwood, Turkish Cyclamen, South African Freesia Style: Exotic. Awakening. Transformative. It used to be called Journey (which I find to be a more fitting name).

This is a sharp white floral with very little lasting power. It's almost like the perfume version of a tingly mouthwash. It's a quick pick-me-up that fades to nothing in such a way that you don't even realize that it's happening.
