We're Not Out of the Woods Yet, from 4160 Tuesdays was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is Sarah McCartney. The notes are Amber, Apricot, Mitti Attar, Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver.
A brief smoky opening gives way to a rich sandalwood that is an almost gourmandish toffee, with a layer of apricot running beneath it. That's followed by a warm vetiver, and then sweet cedar. As it dries down, there's a mildly earthy quality that is reminiscent of dry, dusty earth. I don't get the patchouli listed in the notes at all. The apricot remains present throughout.
At first, I really thought I was going to to be something special, but as it progresses, it loses its uniqueness and begins to resemble other fragrances in the 4160 Tuesdays line.
The problem is that that everything in the scent seems sweet, even the vetiver/earthy notes. It's not saccharine, or sugary, more a warm, jammy quality : this is something that seems core to the brand's DNA, and it's not one I'm terribly fond of. I'd be interested to see them coming up with a perfume that avoids it altogether, because that would be much more to my taste. As it is, this one's very pleasant, I enjoy it, but I don't love it.
