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 Orris, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Labdanum, Benzoin, and Opoponax. 4160 Tuesdays's Aunt Pera's Adventurous Past carries a Statement verdict, an amber-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.

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.

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.
