4160 Tuesdays Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Sarah McCartney. Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn) opens with Blackcurrant Leaf, Peach, and Basil, settles into a heart of Woody Notes and Rose, and dries down to a base of Resins, Oakmoss, and Hay. 4160 Tuesdays's Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn) carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This chypre is Marmite in a bottle - love it or hate it, there's no middle ground. Some find it a masterpiece of peachy-basil-rose complexity, while others recoil from what they perceive as a screechy, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

Given its strong sillage and complex, sometimes divisive character, this isn't best suited for office wear, as it can be quite assertive. It leans towards more personal or adventurous occasions where its unique personality can truly shine, performing best in cooler weather according to reviews.

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
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Opens with a distinctive, almost beguiling blend of juicy peach, herbal basil, and tart blackcurrant leaf, leading into a heart of classic rose given depth by woody notes. The base settles into a rich, almost old-fashioned chypre accord of earthy oakmoss, resins, and a surprisingly prominent hay note, providing an intriguing textural contrast to the initial fruitiness. It's a complex, evolving scent journey.
