4160 Tuesdays The Dark Heart of Old Havana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Sarah McCartney. The Dark Heart of Old Havana opens with Sugar Cane, Orange, Grapefruit, and Peach, settles into a heart of Bergamot, Jasmine, Tonka Bean, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Musk, Pepper, and Vanilla. 4160 Tuesdays's The Dark Heart of Old Havana carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a real love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, The Dark Heart of Old Havana is a dirty, boozy, utterly intoxicating ride. It's an acquired taste, for sure, with its divisive overripe fruit and almost sweaty undertones, but there's a unique charm if you can lean into the sleaze.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

With its rich, sweet, and projecting profile, this scent is far too bold for the office. It excels on intimate date nights, where its sensual, 'dirty' character can really shine. Whilst some might wear it casually, it's not a go-to everyday scent, and it certainly won't work for formal events or sport.

About

Imagine sticky peaches and bright grapefruit mingling with the dark, syrupy richness of sugar cane and a robust coffee. It morphs into a heart of sensual tobacco and creamy tonka, lifted by a hint of jasmine, before settling into a warm, vanilla-dusted musk with a kick of black pepper. It's a sweet, spicy, and fruit-laden journey that evokes a steamy Havana night.
