Paradox

by Sarah McCartney

4160 Tuesdays Paradox is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Sarah McCartney. Paradox opens with Orange Blossom, Grapefruit, and Yuzu, settles into a heart of Violet and Petitgrain, and dries down to a base of Iris and Musk. 4160 Tuesdays's Paradox carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Divisive and intriguing, Paradox swings between an initial sharp citrus and a sweet, powdery violet-iris drydown. Some find it a charming nostalgic trip, while others might not get past its strident opening. Definitely one to sample first.

Its low sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office wear, as noted by reviewers. The fresh citrus and floral accords lend themselves well to casual daytime wear, especially in summer. It's less ideal for formal events due to its whimsical character.

About

Opens with a zesty, almost startling burst of grapefruit and yuzu, sharpened by petitgrain. This crisp citrus-green edge soon mellows, ushering in the heart of powdery violet and iris, reminiscent of vintage Parma Violets. A soft musk base eventually grounds the floral sweetness, making for a scent that transitions from bright and fresh to delicate and nostalgic.
