Our Modern Lives Red, Alpha & Beta ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Jessica on 16 March 2018 6 Comments

If you’re a fan of indie perfumer Sarah McCartney, creator of 4160 Tuesdays, you may already know that she recently introduced a new collection called Our Modern Lives. The collection includes seven all-natural botanical perfumes named for colors and moods, plus two synthetic, hypoallergenic fragrances that can be worn alone or layered with the naturals.
