4160 Tuesdays The Buddhawood Box is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Sarah McCartney. The Buddhawood Box settles into a heart of Whisky, Boronia, Gardenia, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Oud, and Ambergris. 4160 Tuesdays's The Buddhawood Box carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a wild card. Some days it's a deeply complex, nuanced woody wonder; other times, you're hit with a baffling combo of onion, curry, and tequila. Definitely try before you commit, it's not a safe blind-buy by any means.

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

Best For:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its potent woody and smoky accords, coupled with strong sillage and good longevity, make it too imposing for most office environments. It's better suited for cooler weather evening dates, or formal gatherings where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering the space.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Imagine stepping into a dusty, ancient wooden box, heavy with the scent of various woods - cedar, sandalwood, and an exotic buddha wood. A rich, boozy whiskey note swirls in the air, softened by the subtle sweetness of boronia and a whisper of gardenia. As it dries, a smoky layer of oud emerges, grounding the composition with a warm, ambergris-infused depth and the earthy aroma of rooibos tea.
