4160 Tuesdays The Lion Cupboard is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Sarah McCartney. The Lion Cupboard opens with Anise, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tobacco. 4160 Tuesdays's The Lion Cupboard carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This one's a divisive trip down memory lane. Some find it a captivating, comforting hug of an old wooden cupboard, full of nostalgia. Others recoil from its medicinal, camphorous, and frankly messy blend. Definitely try before you buy, but don't expect consistency.

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it reasonably versatile, but its unique, woody aroma, often described as 'old furniture' or 'medicinal', isn't ideal for all professional settings. It shines best in casual or intimate settings where its comforting and evocative qualities can be appreciated, though some find it too unusual for broad appeal.

About

The Lion Cupboard immediately envelops you in a complex aromatic accord, underpinned by the sharp freshness of juniper, mint, and grapefruit, softened by a hint of anise. As it settles, a rich woody heart of sandalwood and cedar emerges, laced with a subtle pepper spice and delicate rose. The dry down is a warm, enveloping blend of tobacco, earthy vetiver, a whisper of vanilla, and a dry, unsweetened cacao that evokes the scent of aged wood and forgotten treasures.
