Harvey Prince Perfumes
My first introduction to Harvey Prince Perfumes came several years ago: I received a small rollerball of Hello, a bright cheery citrus based fragrance. This was long before my clean beauty journey began. Little did I know, we’d meet again. I received the perfume Sincerely. It’s described as ‘The scent that transports you’. Oh girl,…
