4160Tuesdays

4160Tuesdays is the home of Sarah McCartney's whimsically lovely scents: proper perfume handmade in London. 

Sarah had been writing about perfume for 15 years, then started making the scents she'd described in her novel, fragrances that reminded the characters of a happy time. Then friends started asking her to make perfumes to capture their own happy times. Odette Toilette launched them at a Scratch + Sniff even, the great Josephine Fairley wrote a lovely review and - ta dah! - we're in the perfumery business. If you're on a quest for for your own bespoke perfume, something unusual and original, or a long lost favourite, have a look around.

The name: if we live until we're 80, we have 4160 Tuesdays.

 

That's all. Let's not waste them.
