4160 Tuesdays Evil Max is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Sarah McCartney. Evil Max opens with Mandarin, Lime, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sour Cherry, Musk, Geranium, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. 4160 Tuesdays's Evil Max carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive, unapologetic chypre with a dark cherry heart. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that screams niche and isn't for the faint of heart. Expect a bold statement that some find intoxicating and others find overwhelming.

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:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and bold character, Evil Max isn't ideal for the office. It shines on a date or for formal events where its sensual and mysterious quality can make an impression, and it offers a unique, confident vibe for casual wear, though some find it a bit much. It's certainly not suited for sport due to its heavy, complex profile.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Evil Max opens with a fleeting citrus spark of lime and mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich, dark sour cherry that's anything but saccharine. Heart notes of cardamom and geranium add a spicy, floral complexity before the scent descends into a deep, earthy foundation of vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss. A prominent leathery tobacco accord provides a sensual, vintage edge, creating a shadowy yet intriguing aroma.
