4160 Tuesdays Maxed Out is a Parfum launched in 2015, created by Sarah McCartney. Maxed Out opens with Lime, Coconut, and Rum, settles into a heart of Coffee, Tobacco, and Cannabis, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Cumin, and Vanilla. 4160 Tuesdays's Maxed Out carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A boozy, weed-and-rum gangster gourmand that smells exactly like its brief - a wild night out in New York. Maxed Out is the opposite of a safe blind buy: a coconut-and-lime cocktail opening crashes into cumin skank, hemp and tobacco, and people either find it the sexiest thing on their skin or run for the shower. Characterful, divisive, and unmistakably a 4160 Tuesdays story in a bottle.

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
Also Works:
Summer

The coconut-lime-rum opening reads tropical and beach-ready, so it carries into warm weather, but the boozy cumin-tobacco-vanilla body is heavy and animalic, which most wearers find sits best in autumn and winter evenings. A genuine cross-season scent that skews to cooler-weather wear once the sweet top burns off.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Far too loud and polarising for the office or formal settings - the cannabis and cumin project intensely for hours. It shines as a casual, chilling-out scent and a confident date or night-out choice for someone happy to wear a strong, characterful statement. Not a sport fragrance.

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

  • 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

Maxed Out opens like a beach-bar cocktail - a tropical trio of coconut, lime and dark rum, sweet and heavy. The sunscreen-and-mojito brightness quickly dries down into something far naughtier: a green, herbal hit of cannabis (closer to hemp cloth than a lit joint) threaded with tobacco and a whisper of coffee. Underneath it all sits the wildcard - a spicy, animalic cumin that reads as warm skin and sweat, smoothed out by creamy vanilla, cedar and a backdrop of vintage musks. It is a sweet concoction that somehow leans savoury, the smell of a man crashing out after the most raucous of parties.
