Once upon a time, 4160 Tuesdays magic-maker Sarah McCartney was inspired to create a chocolate scent by her friend's apartment, which was serendipitously perched atop a chocolate shop. The scent was everything a chocolate shop scent should be- rich, creamy, and delectable- but this was before Sarah had learned the ins and outs of perfume production, so the recipe went back in a drawer. Years later, it has been resurrected, and we're all the richer for it. Simply put, if you've been searching for the scent of real chocolate- not cookies, not cake, but a pure, decadent chocolate truffle- Over the Chocolate Shop may just be your holy grail. Every simple, mouthwatering ingredient- sumptuous cocoa butter, creamy vanilla, caramelized praline, a perfect sprinkle of coffee- blends seamlessly into a divine confection, a picture-perfect bonbon plucked from the window of a fairytale chocolatier, a single bite you'll remember for the rest of your life. Those of us who truly love chocolate scents are always on the hunt for the next great one. We're pleased to announce that it's arrived.

Video Transcript

One of my favorite brands is 4160 Tuesdays and I absolutely adore the creativity of this line. They're always very fun, very unique fragrances. I love the sexiest scent on the planet ever in my humble opinion. Yes, that is the full name of the fragrance, but I also love this fragrance over the chocolate shop.

Now, Sarah McCartney, who is the founder and perfumer behind 4160 Tuesdays, went over to a friend's house who coincidentally lived over a chocolate shop and she loved the fragrance so much that she put it into a bottle. That was her inspiration and, of course, you have cocoa in this fragrance, you have cocoa butter, you have praline, hazelnut, even a little bit of coffee, just everything delectable in general and gourmand is in this fragrance, which is one of the reasons I love it so much. I'm all about the sweet stuff.

You get that very strong cocoa right off the bat with this fragrance. There's a little bit of nuttiness because of the hazelnut and the praline and that really comes through in the beginning. As it dries down, the coffee comes through. It gets a little bit creamier. It's never super intense or overpowering. I can always smell it on myself personally whenever I wear it, but it does strike you. It does last. I've found that it lasts on my skin personally about eight hours, just very beautiful as it wears.

It gets a little bit creamier. The coffee note comes out a little bit more once it's been on for a few hours. The scent memory triggered for me and why I love it so much is the holidays and the chocolate as a kid that I would get during the holidays. All over our house, there would be little bowls filled with different candies, usually chocolate and I would get a handful and I would run up to my room and eat the whole thing. This fragrance specifically reminds me of that chocolate that is purely out for the holiday

I was surprised by how much I like this one. Yes, it smells exactly like being in a chocolate factory, and it's a little too realistic and potent at first. The drydown is very nice and mellow though.

I love this scent! This is different from from the other chocolate based scents I own, a pure dark cocoa powder. I used to sell gourmet chocolates at Neiman Marcus and it reminds me of the way the way the storage closet smelled in the morning when I opened up our counter. I use to bring home the scent of Belgium chocolate after work and my husband loved this! I will be purchasing a full bottle!

I liked this more than I thought I would. It’s a woody scent with chocolate in the background. Not too sweet.

I don't like it, the chocolate scent didn't match well

By Kim Chong - Artist from Hong Kong on 10/29/2020

This is way too dark chocolate for me. I love a gourmand, but this fragrance has this really dark Godiva, bitter chocolate. If you like dark chocolate, then this is a fragrance for you.

I really like the smell of this although it's not very complex on my skin. I smell Chocolate, Amber and Cedar. Smells warm and cozy and a little sexy too!

By Suzend - Pen & Jewelry Maker from Somersworth on 8/23/2019

A delicious "mochachino" fragrance. There is a depth and dryness from the coffee, with possibly an added hint of smokiness and a trace of leather. This is balanced with a light shade of sweetness, and a generous serving of creamy chocolate temptation. A well blended "full bodied" gourmand.

By Mary - n/a from n/a on 10/3/2018

Truffle is a good description, because my sample has a cocoa smell...not the chocolate, but a dry, high quality cocoa powder. But there's also a sweaty or, ah, "body" undertone to this one, at least to my nose. Not overdone, but there. Some may like that raunchy undertone, but not my thing. Gets 3.7 however for a good dry cocoa and a 3.5 knockdown for that "body" note. Rounded up.
