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 Tea, 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.

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.
