Oakmossery 4160 Tuesdays 2021

This is my first proper sampling of 4160 Tuesdays Oakmossery, a revival of chypres (with a hint of fougere) from the mid-20th century, greenly loaded with fresh oakmoss, with additional notes of lavender, labdanum, patchouli, sandalwood, and fruits, though the experience is not sweet. It’s fresh, green, floral, resinous, with nuance and some density, but it feels balanced between some opening brightness and murky depths. It manages to be smooth, not sharp or screechy, from opening until dry down. There’s also a familiarly fresh DNA to it that vaguely reminds me of other 4160 Tuesdays offerings, but not in the sense that it’s redundant with any I’m familiar with; I take it more to be a signature of its quality. Overall, it’s one of my favorite recent releases from the house.

Its concentration is EDP and pricing is type of most of the line, $195/145 for 100/50ml, via US boutiques like Perfumology, where I obtained my sample. It performs quite well, particularly for a fairly fresh fragrance, also.
