4160 Tuesdays Red Queen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Sarah McCartney. Red Queen opens with Bergamot and Raspberry Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Labdanum, and Opoponax. 4160 Tuesdays's Red Queen carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This isn't just another rose perfume. Red Queen is a rich, complex, and sometimes polarising floral delight that offers a vibrant yet grounded take on the classic rose. Some find the musk a bit much, but most agree it's a luscious, head-turning scent.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Red Queen opens with a zesty burst of bergamot, quickly followed by a green, fruity raspberry-leaf note that bleeds into a dominant, opulent rose. Incense and frankincense waft through, adding a sophisticated, smoky depth, while warm opoponax and labdanum provide a smooth, resinous base. A soft, clean musk rounds off this opulent blend, making it feel rich and full-bodied.
