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

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.
