    What do reviewers say about Sincere and Bayswater?

    Sincere leans into warmth and sweetness without apology. The lactonic quality is the whole point. No pretense, no performance. Just buttercream close to skin.Sincere
    This fragrance goes from warm spice to rose to leather in a way that shouldn't work but absolutely does. The rose isn't delicate here, it's assertive and takes command of the heart.Bayswater
