Drive Them Wild with 4160 Tuesdays

Created as part of the Beaumont Hotel project, Sarah McCartney created Drive Them Wild using only ingredients that could be found in the 1930s.

Taking inspiration from a woman we should definitely hear more about, Dolores del Rio, this is a fitting tribute to the glamour and grit of yesteryear.

Dolores del Rio was a remarkable figure who lit up the silver screen in the 1920s and worked behind it in the 40s and 50s, being a seminal force in the Mexican film industry during its Golden Era. Ignoring every glass ceiling that got in her way, Dolores was unstoppable, with an added chic that money just can’t buy.

Drive Them Wild is zesty and zingy and makes an entrance that would blow away cobwebs and prejudice. Orange flower, which grows plentifully in Mexico, and is pretty self-sufficient, seems like an appropriate heroine here and being available in the 1930s, keeps Drive Them Wild authentic.

Add two types of oranges, so tart that you’d pull faces if you ate one, and you have some idea of the brightness and sunshine that Drive Them Wild brings to the party. As we know, citrus doesn’t stick around for long, but with orange blossom and its tinges of greenery meeting a soft fuzzy vanilla epilogue, then you’ll still be smelling amazing as the credits roll.

Where to buy it

You can buy Drive Them Wild from 4160 Tuesdays. It’s available in 15ml, 50ml and 100ml, but be quick as when it’s gone, it’s gone, and I mean it as this is the last batch.

Disclosure

I just received this after I bought it in the 4160 Tuesdays retirement sale. Sarah McCartney is not retiring, but some of the bottles are making a final curtain call. I paid a mere £32 for my 30ml bottle.
