4160 Tuesdays Oakmossery is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Sarah McCartney. Oakmossery opens with Bergamot, Lavender, Peach, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. 4160 Tuesdays's Oakmossery carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Oakmossery is 4160 Tuesdays' loving revival of the dry, full-bodied chypres they stopped making after the oakmoss restrictions. A green, glamorous, peach-and-moss tribute to Mitsouko that trades raw power for refined wearability. Sample first: it rewards chypre lovers and reads thin to anyone hoping for a brute.

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:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Community season votes put fall first, with strong spring and summer support and a cooler winter showing. The green oakmoss-and-fruit signature reads crisp and outdoorsy across the transitional seasons rather than as a heavy cold-weather scent.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Reviewers call it subtle, close-projecting and daytime-leaning, so it suits casual wear and the office best, with date-night and smarter occasions viable thanks to its glamorous chypre polish. Its restraint and lack of sweetness make it a poor fit for sport or high-projection settings.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Oakmossery opens bright and a little haughty: a soft, peachy bergamot lit by tart blackcurrant, with cool lavender draped over the top. The fruit quickly settles onto a big slug of green oakmoss, and a discreet floral heart of rose, jasmine and lily of the valley keeps the composition glamorous rather than austere. As it dries down, the moss deepens into a subtly sweet, woody base of labdanum, patchouli and a sour-edged sandalwood. The result is a smooth, balanced chypre that nods hard at the unsweetened classics of the mid-20th century without ever turning sharp or screechy.
