4160 Tuesdays Goodbye Piccadilly is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Sarah McCartney. Goodbye Piccadilly opens with Lavender, settles into a heart of Iris and Violet, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Vanilla. 4160 Tuesdays's Goodbye Piccadilly carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one; while some adore its distinctive powdery, violet, and lavender profile, others find it far too challenging. It evokes a potent, specific nostalgia, so you'll either fall head over heels or be scrubbing it off immediately.

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

Wearers reach for it most in autumn, where the soft leather and warm vanilla feel cosiest, though the fresh garden lavender and candied violet keep it light enough for spring days. The powdery, settled body reads a touch heavy for high summer and lacks the projection to cut through deep winter cold.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its soft, blended, close-wearing character and nostalgic violet-leather story make it a natural for casual daytime wear and relaxed dates rather than the boardroom. The gentle sillage means it rarely overwhelms, so it can stretch to a low-key formal evening if applied generously, but it is too quiet and too distinctive for sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Goodbye Piccadilly is a time capsule, opening with a sweet, candied violet and a creamy, powdery iris, underscored by soft, fluffy lavender. As it settles, a gentle, lived-in leather emerges, smoothly entwined with warm vanilla and an earthy patchouli. It's a scent that feels both substantial and delicate, complex without being overwhelming, like a comforting, well-loved antique.
