The Story

Launched in 2012 as part of Xerjoff’s 'Join The Club' collection, 40 Knots is named after a nautical speed measurement and evokes the essence of sailing. This aromatic aquatic fragrance opens with salty and green accords that capture the briny freshness of sea air, before settling into woody and aromatic notes that provide warmth and depth. It’s not just a scent; it’s an experience designed to transport you to the deck of a yacht, wind in your hair, and the horizon stretching out ahead.

Application Tips

Apply one generous spray to ensure that the salty top notes and woody base balance well throughout the day. This fragrance is best for daytime wear when its marine freshness can be fully appreciated.
