The Lion Cupboard, from 4160 Tuesdays was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is Sarah McCartney. It has the top notes of Anise, Grapefruit, Juniper Berries, Lavender, and Mint, middle notes of Cedarwood, Pepper, Rose, Sandalwood, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Cacao Pod, Tobacco, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
At last!!!! I can be massively complimentary about a 4160 Tuesdays fragrance...I knew I'd get there in the end. The lion cupboard is a superbly crafted scent and has that token bizarreness I've come to expect. The opening is a sharp hit of juniper and citrus then BAM! like a puff of coco powder in your face. The heart of this scent is the cacao but with a rich tobacco vibe and maybe some patchouli too, then a blackberry and anise type of smell...I love it. Reminds me very vividly of something (not perfume) which I can't quite place ? The drydown is very nice warm a hint of earthiness but not too much. It's a bit subdued and lasting power a little lacking considering it opens strong but I will let The Lion cupboard off because it's seriously interesting piece of work. Great stuff, gourmand lovers should try this one even though it's not just a straight up foodie scent.
