It's as complex as it is simple.
It's woody, aquatic, green, and very aromatic.
There's some sweetness and saltiness, but personally I would have preferred more of the salt note to cut through the intense aromatics.
A great summer scent, and one i consistently get asked about when wearing.
It's like Oud Minérale with 30 teaspoons of sugar stirred in. It's difficult to discern much apart from the trademark Xerjoff diabetes-inducing sweetness. It's not the worst Xerjoff but I'd much rather wear something more refined and complex. Like the reviewer below, I also get tobacco, and a lot of it at that. ... OK yes, after 30 mins it's basically Tobacco Vanille, then it morphs into Ambre Nuit. This is way too sickly sweet for me, like everything from this company, so it's a taste thing. Nuclear performance which will gas everyone around you if that's what you like, I prefer not to be that guy.
Very nice. Opening is a cross between Dior Eau Noire and Dior Ambre Nuit. Drydown is Roja Enigma pour cologne
Amazing fragrance!!! Absolutely amazing!!! This is simply brilliant The JTC has a third knockout! Ivory route, More than words, now this what a treat. My first impression was PRADA LUNA ROSSA EXTREME, I love that fragrance and never imagined a classier more upmarket version that was released over a year before...this is it! 40 Knots has a marine accord without the tiresome awful cheapness of designer marine fragrances(excluding LUNA ROSSA), it is even a little salty at first. It's so much more than I'd anticipated, 40 knots has a deep amber base which shines throughout, it feels opulent and warm. It even has a hot sweetness of cinnamon or clove running through it. Projection and longevity were very good. I would wear this... if I could afford it. I can't get all three... that would be ridiculous! I'm not sure I want any either? I'm on the fence as much as I've enjoyed them. Fingers crossed Birdie will excite me too because that would top off a predominately good range of fragrances from Xerjoff. Are they worth the money? These are for people that if you have to worry about the price you can't afford it!
Spicy freshy, with beast mode performance.
