Rhubarb & Custard 1:29 by 4160Tuesdays is a deliciously unconventional gourmand fragrance inspired by the comforting combination of tangy rhubarb and creamy vanilla custard. Created by perfumer Sarah McCartney, the fragrance takes its name from a unique formula developed during a collaborative workshop with Mrs Gloss & The Goss. Participants discovered that combining one part Rhubarb & Citrus Cologne with 29 parts Vanilla Custard created an irresistible contrast of tart freshness and smooth sweetness. Bright rhubarb, grapefruit, and lemon introduce a lively fruity character, while bergamot and biscuits add a delightful citrus and baked-goods warmth.
As the fragrance develops, rich vanilla creates a creamy, comforting sweetness reminiscent of homemade custard, while hay and tobacco introduce an unexpected layer of earthy warmth. These subtle aromatic nuances balance the dessert-inspired richness, giving the composition a distinctive character that feels indulgent without being overwhelmingly sweet. Rhubarb & Custard 1:29 offers a charming interpretation of gourmand perfumery, combining nostalgic comfort with a refreshing, sophisticated twist.

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.
