    The Scent Journey

    Sincere by Contradictions in ILK is an eau de parfum fragrance that opens with Milk, Ginger Flower, and Peach Nectar, transitions into a heart of Orris Root, Ambrette, and Ylang-Ylang, and settles into a base of Coconut, Amber, and Saffron. Expect 6-10 hours longevity and moderate sillage. Best suited for spring and fall. Rated 3.5/5, well-liked by the community, 5 votes.
