4160 Tuesdays Dirty Honey is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Sarah McCartney. Dirty Honey opens with Honeybush and Honey, settles into a heart of Woody, Jasmine, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Beeswax, and Labdanum. 4160 Tuesdays's Dirty Honey carries an Acquired verdict, a honey-led wear.

This one's a real shapeshifter, polarizing opinions between 'fucking gorgeous' and 'absolutely revolting'. Expect a dense, waxy, animalic honey that isn't for the faint of heart, or nose. You'll either adore its raw, dirty charm or be scrubbing it off immediately.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent. The thick honey, waxy beeswax, and resinous labdanum read warm and heavy on the skin, suiting autumn and winter best. Fall is the dominant community vote; the sweetness can turn cloying in summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong early projection and 'dirty' animalic character make it a poor office or formal choice. It excels on a date and in intimate evening settings thanks to its rich, seductive honey-and-beeswax warmth, and works for casual wear when you want something distinctive and close to the skin. Utterly unsuitable for sport.

About

Dirty Honey opens with a potent blast of authentic, sticky honey and a rich, almost feral beeswax, evoking the inside of a wild beehive. This is quickly joined by a warm, resinous labdanum and deep woody notes, giving it an amber depth. A hint of jasmine and smooth vanilla rounds out the animalic edge, creating a complex, dark, and sensuous experience that lingers with a dirty sweetness, like a boozy, honeyed sponge cake.
