4160 Tuesdays Tart's Knicker Drawer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Sarah McCartney. Tart's Knicker Drawer opens with Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tobacco. 4160 Tuesdays's Tart's Knicker Drawer carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one sparks debate - a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the bold. Some find it a deliciously retro, full-throttle floral, while others recoil from its overly sweet, powdery character. Not for the faint of heart, it's definitely a statement scent.

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.

While some reviewers wear a light spritz to the office, its bold, sweet, and powdery nature makes it better suited for dates and casual outings where its unique personality can shine. It's too distinctive and potentially divisive for formal events or sports.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opens with a zesty burst of grapefruit and orange, quickly softened by a playful pink pepper. The heart unfurls with a rich, powdery floral bouquet of violet, rose, and jasmine, made creamy and sweet by tuberose and a dash of raspberry. As it dries down, a warm, sensual base of musk, amber, and vanilla emerges, intertwined with a subtle, smoky tobacco.
