4160 Tuesdays Captured By Candlelight is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Sarah McCartney. Captured By Candlelight opens with Toffee, Cognac, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Hazelnut and Dried Fruits, and dries down to a base of Oak, Beeswax, and Opoponax. 4160 Tuesdays's Captured By Candlelight carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive gourmand that balances sweet indulgence with boozy warmth, this scent is a cozy, enchanting, Christmas-pudding-in-a-bottle experience. Some find its beeswax and toffee notes captivating and unique, while others are put off by what they perceive as an overwhelming sweetness or poor longevity.

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.

About

Captured By Candlelight opens with a rich, boozy cognac intertwined with syrupy toffee and a spicy hint of cinnamon. As it settles, a sweet, waxy beeswax note emerges, softened by a medley of fruity undertones. The scent dries down into a warm, grounding oak, leaving a cozy, festive trail reminiscent of a crackling fireplace and spiced holiday treats.
