4160 Tuesdays White Queen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sarah McCartney. White Queen opens with Cream, Grapefruit, Hazelnut, and Incense, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Frankincense, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Labdanum, and Opoponax. 4160 Tuesdays's White Queen carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

White Queen is a deeply divisive scent, attracting both passionate adoration and outright repulsion. It's a complex, challenging wear best sampled first, but those who love it find it uniquely captivating. Prepare for a ride.

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.

Given its strong performance and unique, often polarising nature, White Queen isn't ideal for a typical office environment where subtlety is key. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its depth and captivating mystery can be appreciated, though it also dresses up a casual outfit really nicely.

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost austere blend of creamy hazelnut and a prominent frankincense-like incense, underscored by a sharp grapefruit. The heart unfolds with whispers of iris and just a touch of sweet raspberry, transitioning into a powdery, musky embrace. The woody base grounds the scent, maintaining a sophisticated balance between gourmand warmth and sacred smokiness, settling into a long-lasting, creamy dry down.
