4160 Tuesdays Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Sarah McCartney. Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits opens with Lemon and Tea, settles into a heart of Cream and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Sweet Pastry, Wheat, Vanilla, and Hazelnut. 4160 Tuesdays's Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand that absolutely nails the brief for some, delivering a comforting, hyper-realistic tea and biscuit scent. But watch out - for others, it's a weak, doughy whisper that falls flat.

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:
Winter

An autumn favourite first, with strong spring crossover. The lemon-and-tea opening keeps it light enough for cool spring days while the wheaty pastry and vanilla drydown reads cosiest in fall; wearers most often reach for it in the summer-to-autumn transition, and high summer feels too warm for the doughy sweetness.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its quiet, intimate projection and inoffensive gourmand profile make it a natural for casual and office wear, wrapping the wearer in a comforting personal bubble. The same softness means it rarely makes a statement at formal events or on dates, and the cosy biscuit character is wrong 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.

Other declarable allergens

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

Imagine a perfect British cuppa: a bright, zesty lemon cutting through rich, dark tea, softened by creamy oat milk and a hint of warming ginger. As it settles, a sweet, wheaty pastry note emerges, like a perfectly baked biscuit, alongside a subtle nuttiness from hazelnut. It's an edible, aromatic embrace, reminiscent of a cosy bakery or afternoon tea.
