Created to celebrate ÇaFleureBon’s 13th anniversary March 22, 2023. ÇaFleureBon X 4160 Tuesdays Pirate Queen is the fourth and new fragrance collaboration (White Queen, Red Queen and Dark Queen) between independent perfumer Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays and Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief.  Michelyn Camen came up with the name and idea after hearing Sarah speak about “pirate perfumers, i.e., indies” at the World Perfumery Congress held in Miami June 29th-July 1st, 2022. The brief for Pirate Queen started with Michelyn asking Sarah to “make me a leather perfume that I could love.” She also told Sarah that she didn’t like aquatics, presenting yet another olfactive challenge.

Sarah’s Pirate inspiration originally came from a book, Be More Pirate by Sam Conniff Allende, “which was inspired by the alternative society set up in the Golden Age of Piracy, when sailors who did not fit into the cruel, hierarchical class system of the British Navy of the time decided to start their own. One of the fascinating points the book made was that while regulations are there for good reasons, there are some very silly rules which need to be questioned, changed, or got rid of entirely.

With ÇaFleureBon x 4160 Tuesdays Pirate Queen the entire process from conception to today’s launch was an ongoing dialogue, first in person in Miami, then remotely between Sarah and Michelyn which took over six months and four mods to complete. The final choice was 2C, which Sarah liked because it reminded her of a schoolyard skipping game from her childhood. She drove her entire team nuts by singing, “A pirate went to sea sea sea, to see what she could see see see, and all that she could see see see was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea!”

Key to the heart of Pirate Queen is an osmanthus/cedar accord which smells like animalic leathery apricots. With the addition of Calone©, rum ether, cacao absolute, patchouli, cashmeran, lashed with loads of labdanum and styrax and musks, they had the Pirate Queen and her ship. The finished fragrance also includes cinnamon, nutmeg, Buddhawood, and narcissus variation, and to both Sarah and Michelyn it captured the atmosphere around the Pirate Queen steering her ship in full sail.

It smells of rum, leather, linen, scrubbed woods, spices and sea water. It is unapologetically fierce and courageous in its composition (much like MIchelyn and Sarah). The opening is flamboyantly spicy and boozy and intertwines with a raw leather. The cacao and patchouli cinnamon and nutmeg deliver an earthy yet succulent aspect and the styrax adds a sweet tenaciousness. Narcissus is a perfect underpinning material as it fuses the lushness and darker elements of Pirate Queen blending beautifully with labdanum. Ultimately it is a perfume which bottles power and strength in olfactive form.
