4160 Tuesdays Killer Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sarah McCartney. Killer Rose opens with Yuzu and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. 4160 Tuesdays's Killer Rose carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's rose. Killer Rose is a bold, take-no-prisoners floral that splits opinion, some finding it a quirky, modern take on a classic, others put off by its intensity. Love it or hate it, it's definitely not shy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and lasting power, combined with its strong floral and amber character, make it more suited for formal events or date nights rather than casual wear. However, its unique twist makes it surprisingly wearable in a professional setting, especially for those looking to make a statement.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

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

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

Killer Rose bursts open with a bright, almost tart yuzu and juicy peach, quickly giving way to a powdery, opulent heart of rose, iris, and violet. Geranium adds a green, slightly spicy edge before the fragrance settles into a profound base of warm, resinous amber, earthy patchouli, and a soft, lingering musk. It's a complex, almost cosmetic floral experience, more lipstick than garden.
