OML α Our Modern Lives, that first saw the light of day in 2017, is classified as a unisex fragrance. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer Sarah McCartney.
Behind this fragrance stands the United Kingdom and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
Some fragrances simply live on the skin — this one becomes part of it. The official website of Our Modern Lives — http://www.aftelier.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of OML α evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Our Modern Lives is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Balsamic and Wood.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a deep balsamic mood: Amber and Woody Accord. Here 2 notes act as one voice, forming noble smoky warmth that reads as cohesive from the start.
The heart and base are perceived as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Wood and Mineral with each one in a clear role. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together OML α reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
