4160 Tuesdays Rhubarb & Custard is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sarah McCartney. Rhubarb & Custard opens with Rhubarb, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Bergamot and Biscuit, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tobacco, and Hay. 4160 Tuesdays's Rhubarb & Custard carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a trip down memory lane for many, delivering a photorealistic rhubarb and custard dessert in a bottle. However, a divisive 'herbal' or 'cannabis' note in the drydown means it's not universally loved.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a zesty, tart explosion of rhubarb, grapefruit, and lemon, quickly transitioning to a comforting heart of warm, buttery biscuit. The drydown settles into creamy vanilla with an added twist of earthy hay and a subtle wisp of tobacco, creating a complex gourmand experience that's more elegant than sickly sweet.
