Take Me To The River Sample

The scent The artist This is a 2 ml spray sample. Find the full bottle here.  Take Me to the River smells nothing like a river. It’s inspired by Talking Heads' live 1980 version of the song and its like stepping into a smoke-tinged late-night bar where laughter and live music ebb and flow with the clink of bottles, and the air is thick with stories that will be whispered until sunrise. The opening pours rich rum, deep wine, and rose into the atmosphere, like the heady first sip of a reckless evening that feels dangerously irresistible. A heart of patchouli, beeswax, and tobacco wraps around you like an old leather booth worn smooth by decades of conversation, leading into a warm, animalic musk, amber, and leather embrace that clings to your skin with an almost seductive persistence. This is the kind of scent that feels like a memory you’re not quite ready to let go of—fiery, velvety, and a little wicked. As Take Me To The River is so inspired by music, 4160’s made a playlist to accompany the perfume. Feel free to listen as you wear it for a multi-sensory experience. It's inspired by Talking Heads' live 1980 version which you can watch online if you're interested.   Notes include rum, rose, wine, patchouli, beeswax, tobacco, musk, amber and leather.       We've met a lot of people in the perfume world, and Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays is one of our very favorites. Want to know why? Sarah, in her own words: "As a little girl, I did not make perfumes from rose petals. That was for softies. I made magic spells and wanted to be a witch when I grew up. When I was 16 I bought a bottle of Diorella. I studied maths and sciences, practised music and French, wrote books on brands and their evil twin—counterfeiting—and online marketing, and learned to dance Argentinean tango. "For 14 years I was the head writer for Lush while the company grew from four shops—one in Poole and three in London—to 700 worldwide. I was writing 50,000 words every three months for the Lush Times, aiming to encapsulate the products' scents in their descriptions. During that time, I bought and read 200 books on essential oils and herbalism and learned the essential oils the founders gave me to educate myself. "At the end of the 14 years, I took some time off to write a novel featuring a problem-solving perfumer. In it, I described the scents that she made and I wanted to have them available for people to smell. So I set off on a quest to see if I could buy them. This turned out to be impossible - and pretty expensive - because no one was making exactly what I wanted, so I started another quest to see of I could make them instead. Of course that turned out to be even more difficult, but once I'd started, I just kept going. 4160 Tuesdays perfumes is the result."
