Captured by Candlelight by 4160Tuesdays is a rich, comforting gourmand fragrance inspired by the warmth and indulgence of a traditional British Christmas celebration. Created by perfumer Sarah McCartney after a request to recreate the aroma of Christmas pudding, this distinctive composition combines warm cognac, aromatic cinnamon, and buttery toffee with the luscious sweetness of stewed fruits. Toasted hazelnuts introduce a delicious nutty richness, evoking the atmosphere of a festive dining room filled with the aromas of freshly prepared desserts.
As the fragrance develops, opoponax brings a warm, balsamic sweetness, while candlewax adds an unusual softness reminiscent of flickering candles. Oakwood provides a deep, elegant woody foundation that balances the composition's fruity and gourmand richness. The result is an inviting fragrance that captures the atmosphere of candlelit gatherings, combining decadent sweetness, aromatic spice, and sophisticated warmth in a beautifully memorable scent.

Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
