"What happened was that we spent a week in the Hoxton Hotel courtyard in spring 2013, making The Gin Garden scent with gin botanicals and a lovely smooth base for them to blend with. A couple of people, including our visiting Tatler journalist, fell in love with the base. The name came from one of the comments about it. So we thought it would be a good idea to bottle it the way it is. So we did. The idea was to make a gentle, unassuming blend of background scents that wouldn't try to steal the limelight from the more individual gin botanicals. We have a dash of bergamot - a nice quiet citrus - and a soft hint of creamy vanilla. Then there's some velvety smooth woods and (non-animal) musk and ambergris floating around. That's it, really. Even Mary, my hairdresser, likes it, and she's very hard to please." Sarah McCartney
We've made the super sexy version in the past, but this is the extra super sexy strength.
NOTES: Gin, bergamot, vanilla, white woods, musk, ambergris, super powers

Sexy but quirky
I found this fragrance to be very unique (one thing I always look for in a perfume because I hate to smell like everyone else!) I think the bergamot and the vanilla make for a very sexy and addictive smell

Doesn't project
Scent is very nice but it just doesn't project! It's not complex, very soft cozy vanilla. $90 for 50ml I feel I paid too much based on the performance:(

Good quality ingreidents- a very strong scent- not for the fainthearted
This fragrance opens with a blast of black pepper on my skin, followed by strong spices-clove, allspice and heavy cinnamon. I don't care what the "official notes" say, what I have described is what you are going to smell. The woods come out after about 2 hours and the whole thing begins to settle down and you can smell the bergamot then, too. I never got a distinct vanilla note, just a softening of the whole after about 3 hours of wearing. This is a really strong sillage monster, but it has good ingredients and is well done if you like your perfumes "in your face." I would recommend this for a confident man who works as a chef or works outdoors a lot. It might smell "sexy" if there were a bit of natural sweat added to it....

Beautiful scent
This reminds me of CD dolce vita, but a softer version. I think it is sweet, woody with amber notes. I think this can be worn day or night, all year round. This will be a classic 4160 Tuesdays perfume.

Not for me!
So I was sucked in by the name. It was just too overpowering for me. I only put on a tiny spray on my wrist (I got the sample) and the smell was overwhelming me all day. I tried to wash it off and it was still around. Just not my cup o tea.
