A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Apple and lychee snap open with crystalline freshness, a fleeting moment of uncomplicated fruit brightness before rose emerges with a whisper of green, herbaceous character that immediately signals something's not quite right. The fruity accords dominate with a synthetic sharpness that feels almost architectural rather than natural.
The decomposing leaf note slides in insidiously, that plum softens into something almost jammy and oxidised, whilst jasmine introduces a faintly creamy, slightly funky undertone. The fragrance loses its innocence entirely here, becoming something more psychologically complex—still sweet at 88% accord strength, but sweetness now tinged with earthiness and a subtle animalic quality.
Moss and patchouli establish themselves as the true foundation, the vanilla providing just enough gourmand warmth to prevent the composition from tipping into pure foliage and soil. The scent settles into a dusky, contemplative skin scent—the fruit has largely retreated, leaving behind something deeply autumnal and intimate, more whisper than declaration.
Goodbye Piccadilly arrives as a peculiar collision between orchard brightness and something altogether more unsettling—a fragrance that wears its prettiness like a veneer over something decomposing beneath. The opening marriage of apple and lychee suggests a clean, fruity proposition, but this is immediately complicated by rose that arrives with unexpected green undertones rather than romance. What distinguishes 4160 Tuesdays' offering is that decomposing leaf note lurking in the heart: it's not a gimmick, but rather a deliberate destabilisation of the sweetness, introducing an autumnal earthiness that transforms the plum into something darker, almost fermented. The jasmine, rather than adding floral softness, takes on a slightly animalic quality in this context, as though caught in that ambiguous moment between bloom and decay.
This is a fragrance for those who find conventional beauty slightly suffocating, who prefer their scents with intellectual friction. The synthetic accord (76%) doesn't smooth things over with polished florality; instead, it lends an almost clinical precision to the unfolding narrative, as though you're observing beauty through a laboratory lens. The base—moss, patchouli, and vanilla—grounds everything in earthy reality, the vanilla preventing total descent into murk whilst the moss and patchouli anchor the composition with mineral-tinged grounding.
