A luxury yacht in a bottle

Xerjoff’s 40 Knots is a sophisticated aquatic fragrance that manages to feel both refreshing and luxurious. Opening with a burst of crisp sea breeze, it quickly reveals layers of slightly salty, mineral-like notes that truly capture the sensation of standing on the deck of a yacht with the ocean all around you.

Unlike many aquatics that lean overly fresh or citrusy, 40 Knots has depth — subtle hints of honeyed sweetness, green undertones, and a soft, woody dry-down that gives it warmth and elegance. Performance is impressive for a marine fragrance, with a moderate projection that feels refined rather than overpowering, and a longevity that easily lasts through the day.

It’s versatile enough for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer, but its smooth, polished character also makes it work in more dressed-up settings. This is not a loud, “beach party” scent — it’s more of a refined, nautical escape in a bottle.

Verdict: A high-end, effortlessly aquatic for those who want something more elegant than your average marine fragrance.

Yet another Xerjoff beauty

Love this fragrance. So versatile! Performs well in hot weather and cold. Dry down is beautiful and longevity is 6 to 7 hours, on my skin.

Stunning!

I’m so happy have this in my collection. This smells classy and expensive. It’s hard to describe what notes I’m smelling. I imagine to be sitting in an upper class yacht club. The tablecloths have been washed in expensive soap, and have been ironed. There is a vase of fresh cut flowers in the distance and the smell of the ocean is entering through the open doors; not in an aquatic way, but more a marine way. I really think I could wear this all year round. The compliments have been nice too.
