Perfume Review: 4160 Tuesdays Silk, Lace and Chocolate
4160 Tuesdays Silk Lace and Chocolate does not remind me of an exquisite hand made Belgium expensive chocolate. But more of a large box filled with heart shaped chocolates with an artificial strawberry filling. The chocolate box would be bought at your local super market, not an exclusive chocolate shop. The idea of the Mon Cheri chocolates we used to have here, but instead of a cherry, filled with liquid strawberry. Not too complicated or sofisticated but still very playfull and fun. A nice gift depending on your taste for chocolates and perfume. It would be a great eau de parfum for an introduction to perfume for little kids as well.
I really enjoyed the chocolate scent in this perfume but found the strawberry to be too artificial and plasticky almost. But I can imagine others will enjoy it. It is not too sweet for a gourmand and edible fragrance. It was originally made for Valentine’s day as a limited edition but can be bought now online.
Notes: Cocoa absolute, strawberry, bergamot (Luckyscent)
What 4160 Tuesdays says about Silk, Lace and Chocolate: It’s made with cocoa absolute, such an intense chocolate scent that it almost knocks you down with pleasure. Try this instead of eating a chocolate bar.
Did you try Silk, Lace and Chocolate? Or other 4160 Tuesdays fragrances? Do you have a favorite one?

Great review and photos. I only tried a few and need to retest them, and whereas a good chocolate note sounds great, I’m really not that much of a gourmie fragrance person that I can say that this one calls. I quite liked Mancera’s roses and chocolate for something in the same vane. But most chocolate scents always have a bit too much patchouli for my taste. Sådanne by Slumberhouse, which is supposed to be strawberry and champagne sounds like fun, a shame the Skumberhouse frags are so hard to get hold of here.

Thank you, Asali. I can imagine what you mean with chocolate scents which can have too much patchouli in them. I did not find it in Silk, Lace and Chocolate though. Mancera sounds delicious. Love it’s name as well. Chocolate can be quite a tricky note, loved it in Roja Dove’s Amber, if not for the synthetic sandelwood I would have kept it. Sadanne sounds intriguing, it is hard to find here as Well.
