40 Knots

Inspiration
Forty knots is the speed at which a racing yacht truly starts to fly. Xerjoff drew this scent from life around the exclusive yacht clubs of the Mediterranean: salt spray in the air, sun on turquoise water and that particular sense of freedom you only find out on open sea.

Fragrance Family
Woody and oriental

Fragrance Character
Xerjoff officially describes 40 Knots as woody and oriental.

The Signature of 40 Knots
For the Join the Club line Xerjoff does not publish a note pyramid and officially describes 40 Knots as woody and oriental. On skin this reads as a fresh, faintly saline opening that soon settles on warm wood. It is a fragrance that suggests movement: open, bright and at the same time firmly anchored.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
At ParfuMaria we call 40 Knots our summer sailor. It smells like a pressed linen shirt after a day on deck, with a trace of salt still on the skin. What we love is that its freshness never feels cheap or synthetic: there is always wood beneath to keep it grown up. Pick the 100 ml if you plan to wear it from May until deep into October, on the terrace and at work. An excellent pick for those who usually find aquatic scents too thin.
