4160 Tuesdays Dirty Honey marks another bold resinous entry from the line, after Shazam, which I tried some months ago. It’s dominated by the labdanum, beeswax, and honey, with accents of jasmine and vanilla. It has a bit of a floral vibe that complements the slightly animalic side of the resins, but the overall experience is rather sweet and creamy, as one might expect.
As a performer, it’s strong and dense, with above average projection for an hour or two and strong longevity thereafter.
At a slightly higher price than most offerings of $95 for 30ml, it’s roughly in the category of needing to love it to buy it, and for my money, Shazam gets the edge, as far as resinous fragrances from the line go, not to mention its more modest pricing ($90 for 50ml).
Still, Dirty Honey should be a welcome try for fans of resins in particular.
7 out of 10

Beeswax still dripping honey onto your chin, after you fell off the tree stealing if from the beehive in an jasmine bush that grows over the woody barn housing nervous young colts.
It can be a little challenging to wear, but it provokes the ones around you and it makes you feel a little naughty…like wearing a daring Pam Hogg outfit for dinner at the Wolseley with your aunt and her 4th. new young Swedish husband
Nuff said

There’s something a little herbal/medicinal cough syrup-y with a buzziness in the topnotes – maybe a weird part of the labdanum???. This is weird waxy powdery scent, not honey. It is dirty – tangy, a little fecal and mushroomy. There’s something in 4160 tuesdays scents that often smells weird on me. If you leave it on long enough, it’s a powdery/waxy/dirty-skin/floral that’s not terrible but not something I enjoy. Lovers of ELDO’s Putain des Palaces might enjoy this stage, as the scents are in the same family. Overall, this scent was a strong dislike for me.

Reminds me of Absolue Pour Le Soir a little. Both dirty honeys but for strength, projection, longevity and sillage, APLS is the queen. One spray from a sample and Dirty Honey was a skin scent within one hour. Two sprays from APLS is good for ten+ hours. Other major difference: APLS is honeyed rose, Dirty Honey is more jasmine vanilla.
It’s good if you want a discreet, close to the body sexy scent.

Sadly a nope for me. It smells very waxy, and not in an entirely nice way.
Definitely an acquired taste for very specific skin types, because it smells not so tasty on me.
fui691elipseskism – :
Wee wee. Not nice. The most urinous thing I have smelled since the explosion of Kuoros in the late 80s. I really cannot find one note that transcends the unpleasant one. A scrubber for me, sadly.

I love this perfume but am puzzled by the name. I know the Mexican orange blossom scent that inspired it and find that cloying, and yes, dirty, but what I get from this perfume is a warm, creamy, not oversweet honey that just gets waxier and dryer as I wear it. Looking at the other reviews I’m sure individual skin chemistry is key here, making the difference between a bad experience and a warm comforting hug of a scent.

Not like any other honey fragrance that I have–or would ever want. Gives off an unpleasant vintage vibe, nothing fresh about this. I had to immediately remove from my skin.

ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING!!
If you want a great honey smell, go and check out Salvatore Ferragamo’s exlusive line and look out for “Golden Acacia” if I remember correctly.
I have reviewed the latter and it is heavenly.
THIS IS A SCRUBBER!!
-1/10. TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST.

I just got my hands on my bottle….blind buy. I was expecting deep, oozing, dripping honey…which I LOVE. This is actually bright with my chemistry. I smell a light honey and would have sworn it had some citrus of some kind in it to make it so bright. Bright and dirty and especially HONEY….don’t go together. Sad.
puzanov.nikolai2112 – :
Wait a minute!… i don’t like honey cause i LOVE honey literally while this fragrance makes me starve for some more!
Wax wax and more WAX honey with some more poured honey. It is quite interesting with that slight woody note and vanilla creamy milk on top. It is deliciously a morning fragrance when you are on a vacation and had a calming relaxed night sleep next to the beach and NOT on the beach where you can smell the white sheets and the honey vanilla love.
I don’t know wither if i am getting a bottle of this to wear or to eat!

Honey and beeswax, in this smelled like an unshowered hangover. I don’t get it, and in 5 minutes I covered it with poison to get rid of the smell.
dmit.astahoff – :
The first notes to hit me are the beeswax and honey which remain the strongest notes all the way through. The alcohol starts to evaporate away the wonderful Mexican orange blossom now comes much more to the fore along with the jasmine, vanillan and spicey woods. I have a mexican orange blossom shrub in the back garden and I can smell the flowers fragrance here. On the dry down there is labdanum then faintly almost a peach note along with a sort of orange blossom sherberty sweetness which is Sarahs fragrance signature. Perfectly unisex as not too sweet. Ive got to say though that I prefer L’Artisan Parfumeur Seville de l’aube in cool weather but DH is fantastic is warm weather. It really smells amazing on a warm night. Do try it. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is moderate on me.

Syrupy, sweet, cloying fecal honey. very synthetic. jasmine makes it “dirty”. great price but cheap smell
Axel_minsk – :
Thank you Patsi for the lovely samples, when I was researching this house this was one I mentally shortlisted. Well the list of notes sounded promising but what an unfortunate reaction this gave me. On initial sniff my stomach lurched. I smell the sharp sweetness of the honey and a medley of other notes that remind me of balsamic vinegar. Oh my gosh, is this my chemistry? After the top notes dissipate I just get the smoky honey with the dirty edge I can’t put my finger on. I suspect this will please lots who are looking for something different and complex but not for me sorry. First perfume I’ve had to wash off because I find it so nauseous
Stropuva – :
I think this smells marvelous and my husband definitely agrees. It reminds me a little Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s ‘O’ – just a little, and has that same sort of ‘feel’. It is a bit dirty, which is sometimes just the ticket! Here’s what Sarah has to say about it:
“A change of name for my honey scent. Along our street there was a sudden spring blossoming ofMexican mock orange, tiny white flowers that wafted their delightful scent through suburbia for two weeks, then off they went. Mock orange and I have history; when I was two years old I shoved the buds from our garden shrub so far up my nose to get more of the smell that I had to get taken to the doctor’s to get them extracted. It was fate.
Now I know a bit more about perfume, the blossom smells to me just like dirty honey, so I make myself a version to last all year round.
It’s a white flower fragrance, made with beeswax and honey absolutes, woods, vanillin and labdanum, jasmine and honeybush extract.”

This is my first review. I am still learning, but I’m just going to call it out as I smell it. I like complex, unexpected, unpredictable, contrasting things in general and that includes fragrances. So yes! Dirty Honey! Sweet bees and flowers mixed with something dirty. Love the concept. Upon initial spray, I get Roubitussin cough syrup, artificial cherry sweet, then a vanilla smoky-ness comes into play mixed in with what…well what just strikes me as, forgive me, old saliva. When the spit subsides, you have a kind, pleasing spicy/wood vanilla, with an tiny bit of honey. Cozy, and nice for cold weather.
