Burnt Cedar Rainbow Doves is one of the strangest and most beautiful fragrances 4160 Tuesdays has created. Inspired by the extraordinary life of composer, writer and talented British eccentric Gerald Hugh Tyrwhitt-Wilson, 14th Baron Berners.
From the garden of his country house, where he entertained the Bright Young People. He could do whatever he wanted, and he chose to be generous and kind, outrageous and amusing.
Nancy Mitford portrayed him in her novels as Lord Merlin. Elsa Schiaparelli encouraged him to make a fragrance with civet, but Nancy Mitford talked him out of it. So, here it is, only 60 years late. The aroma of Lord Berners' garden, around 1933 - cedar bonfires, wild rose, mock orange, moss, musk civet and sugared almonds.
