Powdery, almost candied iris with vanilla, other florals musk, perhaps a relative of Clouds
First proper wearing of Faerie Queen, the latest Queen from 4160 Tuesdays as collaboration with Cafleurebon, initially a Perfumology exclusive in the US, and a similarly sweet, powdery, sharp inspiring blend like its four predecessors (White, Red, Dark, Pirate). Its center is a powdery sweet iris accord, flanked by rose, violet, vanilla, and musk. It’s borderline candy-sweet, a feature that is expressed more over time in the dry down, whereas the opening is fittingly a bit more strident, in which it boldly announces itself florally, after the creamy vanilla and musk announce themselves over time.
There are connections to the Clouds family of the house, for sure, in the iris and vanilla pairing that’s so prominent in both, but Faerie Queen is surely a bit sharper, more powdery, more violet-leaning than anything Clouds. I prefer Clouds mostly but like Faerie Queen as a sharper, more floral cousin, particularly for those whose preferences lean that way.
Faerie Queen performs very well and is priced at $180/130 for 100/50ml, in EDP concentration, and is sold both via the UK house website as well as (in the US) Perfumology, which has (by far, to my knowledge) the largest selection of 4160 Tuesdays fragrances in North America.
