Doe In The Snow
by 4160 Tuesdays
Doe In The Snow by 4160 Tuesdays presents a bright, aldehydic opening with crisp citrus notes—grapefruit, yuzu, and citron—giving way to a soft, peachy warmth layered over green tea and fresh woody notes. The heart reveals a delicate floral harmony of jasmine and rose, exuding a serene, cool elegance that evokes frost-kissed forest floors and clean linen. The dry down reveals a leathered, mossy base with opoponax, creating a quietly seductive, retro-chypre character. While its performance is moderate and intimacy-limited, it unfolds with surprising depth and whimsical complexity, often likened to a winter morning in a dream, with a fairytale-like freshness and a faints note of Parma violet that lingers only fleetingly. The fragrance is truly unisex, favored for cool seasons but also surprisingly wearable in spring, lending an artful, feminine balance to its stark, woody-basenote presence. Its appeal lies in its clever use of aldehydic brightness and subtle earthiness, avoiding the sugary or gourmand pitfalls of many chypres while delivering a candid, complex scent that fascinates with its quiet evolution.
