The Buddhawood Box

The Buddhawood Box by 4160 Tuesdays is a deeply woody and intensely aromatic fragrance that unfolds with a complex, almost confrontational opening. Many users describe a sharp, spicy, onion-like or cumin-heavy top note reminiscent of curry or fried onions, which some find difficult to endure for the first few minutes. This initial impression is often followed by a remarkable transformation, where the fragrance develops into a smooth, resinous, and deeply textured woody scent. The interplay of whiskey, rooibos tea, and aged woods creates a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet depth, with sandalwood and ambergris contributing to a rich, musky drydown. The scent gradually becomes more wearable and appreciated, with its longevity proving strong and its presence resonant throughout the day, particularly in colder seasons. A sense of quiet mystery and aged wood lingers, evoking forgotten libraries or weathered boxes—an atmospheric and intentional blend. While some find nothing beyond the initial harshness, others discover an evolving, layered character that reveals its sweetness and complexity over time.
