4160 Tuesdays What I Did On My Holidays is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Sarah McCartney. What I Did On My Holidays opens with Sea Water, Seaweed, Coconut, and Mint, settles into a heart of Lavender and Cotton Candy, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. 4160 Tuesdays's What I Did On My Holidays carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a divisive, quirky scent that some find absolutely divine and others, an unwearable mess. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's a truly unique, happy holiday in a bottle.

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.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 a trip to the British seaside compressed into scent. It opens with an intriguing clash of cool mint and salty marine air, reminiscent of a fresh ocean breeze. Soon, a creamy coconut emerges, blending with spun sugar sweetness, bringing to mind seaside treats. The base settles into a warm vanilla, evoking the comforting end to a perfect day. This combination creates a fresh yet gourmand experience, with a surprising green undertone from the seaweed.
