Yellow Our Modern Lives, launched in 2017, is classified as a unisex fragrance. Sarah McCartney — the creative mind behind this fragrance.
The home of this fragrance is the United Kingdom. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
This fragrance is like a great story: once you've tried it, you keep coming back. The official website of Our Modern Lives — http://www.perlier.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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Yellow is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of Our Modern Lives is clear from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Wood, Spicy, Citrus and Gourmet. It also reaches into Aromatic and Whiteflower.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a glittering citrus mood: Cabreuva, Cardamom, Clementine, Coffee, Fennel, Lemon and Mandarin.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral without random overlap. Background accords such as Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Yellow sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
