4160 Tuesdays Raw Silk & Red Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Sarah McCartney. Raw Silk & Red Roses opens with Geranium, Peach, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Patchouli. 4160 Tuesdays's Raw Silk & Red Roses carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A glorious, vintage-feeling red-rose chypre that wears like a walk through an overgrown 1980s rose garden. Sarah McCartney's first dedicated rose leans on lush rose absolute, plummy fruit and a camphorous patchouli base, winning over rose lovers who want depth without heaviness.

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 Fall
Also Works:
Winter

The lush red rose, green geranium and fruity peach-plum top read most naturally in spring and the softer days of autumn, while the camphorous patchouli base gives it enough warmth to carry into cooler weather. Reviewers describe it as a rose-garden scent rather than a bright summer floral or a heavy winter oriental.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its feminine, romantic rose-chypre character and arm's-length projection make it a strong date and formal pick, while its wearable, never-overpowering nature keeps it comfortable for casual wear. The vintage depth is a touch rich for sport and only borderline for the office.

About

Raw Silk & Red Roses opens on a sharp, green rose geranium threaded with juicy peach and plum, a bright fruity-floral blast that quickly warms. At its heart sits an unashamedly rich red rose, built on as much natural rose absolute as perfumery allows, sumptuous and jammy rather than dewy. As it settles, a dusty, camphorous patchouli blooms and a soft vintage musk comes to the fore in the drydown, lending the whole composition an antique, nostalgic chypre quality that never tips into sweetness.
