  Delicious sophistication, an anti-gourmand. Uber-realistic green tea steam warms creamy, verdant fig leaves glistening with the floral sweetness of peach. Each note comes at once, wafting under your nose like a warm, cozy cloud. You slowly start to notice a milky white chocolate making its way to the heart, however, it’s tempered with equally milky woods, preventing it from ever going into sugary territory. Yes, these are very food-like notes, but with the magic of perfumery, each of them smells less dessert-like and more realistic, classy, and breezy-fresh without ever giving up their true personality. We highly recommend getting your nose on this wonderfully balanced olfactory illusion.

• We've met a lot of people in the perfume world, and Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays is one of our very favorites. Want to know why? Sarah, in her own words:

  "As a little girl, I did not make perfumes from rose petals. That was for softies. I made magic spells and wanted to be a witch when I grew up. When I was 16 I bought a bottle of Diorella. I studied maths and sciences, practised music and French, wrote books on brands and their evil twin—counterfeiting—and online marketing, and learned to dance Argentinean tango.

  "For 14 years I was the head writer for Lush while the company grew from four shops—one in Poole and three in London—to 700 worldwide. I was writing 50,000 words every three months for the Lush Times, aiming to encapsulate the products' scents in their descriptions. During that time, I bought and read 200 books on essential oils and herbalism and learned the essential oils the founders gave me to educate myself.

  "At the end of the 14 years, I took some time off to write a novel featuring a problem-solving perfumer. In it, I described the scents that she made and I wanted to have them available for people to smell. So I set off on a quest to see if I could buy them. This turned out to be impossible - and pretty expensive - because no one was making exactly what I wanted, so I started another quest to see of I could make them instead. Of course that turned out to be even more difficult, but once I'd started, I just kept going. 4160 Tuesdays perfumes is the result." Read more about 4160 Tuesdays on our BLOG.
