Description
Indie perfumery 4160Tuesdays has developed a new fragrance collection, Our Modern Lives – seven 100% natural botanical fragrances, and two 100% gentle synthetic skin scents.
They’ve been created as a result of perfumer Sarah McCartney’s 21 year yoga practise, and requests from her customers. The naturals come in 10ml roll-ons and 50ml spray bottles at eau de parfum strength, and as light eau fraiche body and room fragrances.
The synthetics are long lasting skin scents which everyone can wear, even the unfortunate one in a thousand people who are allergic to something found in perfume. Each of the botanicals is allocated a colour and a mood, from Sunrise – citrus fruits with coffee – to Into the Night – deep dark indigo sensuality. The synthetics, OML α and OML β, are soft, neutral fragrances.
Perfumer Sarah McCartney says: “For me, the best fragrances combine the depth and complexity of naturals with the staying power and texture of synthetics. After listening to our customers, I’ve separated them out so you can wear just the naturals, the synthetics, or both together.”
OML α – a soft, mildly ambery woodsy fragrance that really lasts well, made with seven synthetic materials, completely clear in colour. Some of the beautiful aroma molecules we use here are more expensive than most naturals.
Assortiment: 9m EDP, 50ml EDP, 100ml body and room spray.
OML α was launched in 2017.

absolutely gorgeous on it’s own or layered. Am loving it 🙂

straight up astringent

Opens with a blast of ambroxan like Molecule 02 Escentric Molecules – which I love, and dries down to biting animalic amber like Magnetic Blend 1 Initio Parfums Prives – which I hate. This is definitely no neutral scent.
I agree with @Velvette that it is quite masculine, but honestly, I wouldn’t want my husband to smell like this.
uuuzzzjjjlll – :
A strange alcoholic opening which is almost like vodka! After a few seconds this fades to pure amber. Quite masculine and not particularly long lasting on me.
