Xerjoff 40 Knots EDP

Description

40 Knots is the yacht-club entry in Xerjoff's Join the Club collection, launched in 2012 and inspired by a sailboat gliding across the Mediterranean. As with the rest of Join the Club, Xerjoff has never published an official note breakdown; the consistently reported composition builds a salty, marine opening around sea-water and green accords, moves through a warm spiced heart, and settles into a woody, ambery base of cedar and sandalwood. It reads as a refined aquatic: closer to sun-warmed teak and salt spray than a sharp, synthetic "ocean" scent.

Scent Character

• Marine & Aquatic: 35%
• Woody: 30%
• Ambery & Spiced: 20%
• Green & Aromatic: 15%

Translation: a Mediterranean marine-woody scent, salty and green up top, warm and ambery underneath, without leaning sweet or gourmand.

Fragrance Pyramid

Xerjoff doesn't publish an official pyramid for this collection. The composition is most often described as a marine, salty opening with green and citrus-adjacent brightness; a warm, lightly spiced heart; and a woody, ambery cedar-and-sandalwood base.
