NEW IN: 'The Sexiest Scent On The Planet Ever' & More From 4160 Tuesdays

-
If we live until we're 80, we have 4160 Tuesdays. That's all. Let's not waste them'.

This is the striking phrase that helped provide the name for Sarah McCartney's fantastic and highly personal range of perfumes.

Driven by fascination and mindful observation, 4160 Tuesdays is the fruit of tireless exploration, with each scent being shaped by the perfumer's everyday encounters, fond memories, friendships and relationships. 

We're delighted to stock six of these wonderful scents, four of which are exclusive to Roullier White. 

Invisible Ben - Eau de Parfum - 100ml: Sarah gifted this custom-made scent to her friend on his 40th birthday, only to discover his distaste for fragrances of any kind; he simply wished to smell invisible at all times. Sandalwood, benzoin, musk and wood, in addition to one of Sarah's favourite ingredients: opoponax.

Says Alice - Eau de Parfum - 100ml: Named after a poem by English author AA Milne, Says Alice is full of powerful floral notes melded together with sweeter accords, giving it a confident, assured presence. Aimed at the 21-year-old, rather than teenagers, this scent is formed around a unique heart, inspired by the tenacious fruit florals of the '90s.

The Great Randello - Eau de Parfum - 100ml: Called after the perfumer's husband and a Welsh magician, each ingredient is inspired by a travelling circus. A citrus accord for the acrobats; oakmoss patchouli chypre heart for the dense big-top atmosphere; strawberry caramel for a clown’s tricks; and woods for the ringmaster who keeps it all under control.

The Sexiest Scent on the Planet. Ever. (IMHO) - Eau de Parfum 100ml: An uncomplicated but sensual fragrance, containing the velvety touch of an intriguing molecule called Iso E Super, the subtle citrus of bergamot and a highly secret blend for added woodiness.

Time to Draw the Raffle Numbers - Eau de Parfum 100ml: An abstract portrait of a city on the Continent and an ode to a champion cyclist. This is the smell of Paris on race day. The Champs Elysées is represented by a fragrant mixture of coffee, tobacco, aniseed, linden. Vetiver marks the scent of hot tar, while helional symbolises sunshine. Rose oxide is used to represent the riders' bikes.

What I Did on My Holidays - Eau de Parfum 100ml: What I Did on My Holidays is a delightfully nostalgic perfume; an unabashed nod to the nation's Victorian beach resorts. Lavender suntan lotion and seashore tones strike the nose , giving way to mint rock and a refreshing blast of peppermint.

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui...

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou...
