Okay, so I recently dived into this niche perfume thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a trip. I started hearing about this brand, 4160 Tuesdays, and I was like, “What’s the deal?” It’s supposed to be some indie stuff from London, founded by this perfumer, Sarah McCartney, back in 2012. Apparently, the name comes from the number of Tuesdays you have if you live to 80. Kinda cool, right?
So, I decided to check it out. I found their site and ordered a bunch of samples. I mean, they’ve got a ton of different scents, and I wanted to see what the hype was about. I heard something about a tension between brightness and darkness in one of their lemon scents, and that piqued my interest. I’m not usually big on rhubarb, but I even tried a sample of their Rhubarb & Custard because, why not?
When the package arrived, I opened it up and started testing everything out. Honestly, it was overwhelming at first. But I took my time, sniffing each one, trying to figure out what I liked. Some of them were really unique. There was this one scent that, oh man, it really stood out to me, I’ll talk about that some other time. I was reading that this brand is all about bucking fragrance trends, and after trying their stuff, I can see why.
I spent a few days wearing different ones, seeing how they felt throughout the day. I even asked my friends what they thought. It’s interesting how different perfumes work on different people, you know? I started to understand why people get into this niche perfume thing. It’s not just about smelling good; it’s like, an experience.

I’m still figuring out my favorites, but it’s been a fun journey so far. I’ll probably keep exploring their other scents and see where it takes me.
