4160 Tuesdays Aunt Pera's Adventurous Past is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Sarah McCartney. Aunt Pera's Adventurous Past opens with Bergamot and Petrichor, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Labdanum, Benzoin, and Opoponax. 4160 Tuesdays's Aunt Pera's Adventurous Past carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Aunt Pera's Adventurous Past is a wonderfully weird, darkly delightful vintage chypre for those who appreciate a proper olfactive anecdote and aren't afraid to smell a bit different. Definitely not for everyone, but a gem for the right nose.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

A cold-weather scent. The damp-earth and resinous-mossy body of oakmoss, labdanum and styrax reads thick and warming, so wearers favour autumn and winter, with milder spring and summer wear viable for those who like a vintage chypre year-round.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its distinctive vintage-chypre character means it won't shine in a modern office, but it suits formal events where its depth and unusual charm stand out. Casual wear works for those who want to make a statement, and a date may appreciate its mysterious, powdery-resinous allure.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine stepping into an antique shop on a rainy day. This scent opens with a peculiar damp earth accord, evoking that unique petrichor smell, quickly joined by the dry, woody spice of patchouli and the richness of labdanum. As it settles, a powdery orris-rose heart emerges, enveloped by the deep, resonant warmth of benzoin and styrax, grounded by a classic, mossy base. It's a journey through time, dusty and intriguing.
