40 Knots, it’s fresh without being fresh as most know it. The florals in here are so well blended that you won’t really know they’re there unless you’re looking for them (there’s Rose blended in there for example). I find they really add to the airy sea breeze feel (or accord?) to go with the sea water accord in this. Then I get a nice soft Amber on top of the woods. I know what you mean about having an accord of Enigma, but I find it is a bit more soapy due because of the unmentioned florals in here. It’s also softer and more ethereal, but still loud. It’s simply put one of the most versatile scents I have in my collection (probably around 300 frags now lol), and it’s done without being too far into one direction (not too much citrus, not too many darker notes, not to many florals). Just an extremely well balanced and blended fragrance. Yes it has a resemblance to Ambre Nuit, and Enigma, but only as a light accord. Very much in the affect that Amouage Reflection Man has an accord of Jean Paul Gaulthier’s Le Male, where you get a light shadow of the other fragrance in the composition, but it is very much a different/it’s own fragrance. Phenomenal quality, performance, and presentation. Love seeing the bonus Niche videos and thank you for that! Can’t wait for the next one.

Hey Ash. To my nose I don't get the Enigma resemblance but regardless 40 Knots is a hidden gem among the JTC collection. It's a luxurious, softly sweet, semi aquatic, lightly salty, ambery beauty. It makes me feel like I put on a warm cashmere sweater. The kicker is how versatile it is. Quite a stunner. Great review. 👏.

[@darkninja67]

Whats the best all year round fragrance from Xerjoff?

[@fonzizib.2307]

Josh from Scentsense reviewed this one about two years ago. I’ve been wanting to explore this house for a while. Beautiful bottles and box presentations.

[@cowboycrunchies]

Great review Ash. As much as I love Xerjoff I have to say that I’m not a fan of the newer bottle design. I spoke to Xerjoff to ask why the change and was told it was to combat counterfeiting with the older bottle designs being too easy to copy. I guess that makes sense!

[@ThatBigCactus]

New bottle design is the best in all of fragrance IMO

[@jimlittle5769]

@@ThatBigCactus I agree

[@phoebetsau9635]

I have 40 Knots too and I am loving it but it’s not my favorite. I wish it’s salty aquatic vibe can last longer or all the way thru and I think the dry down is a little too aromatic for me. I have Enigma too but my nose cannot pick up much similarities.

[@justaddlight]

Definitely will need to look out for that Enigma similarity. Great review Ash.

[@jimlittle5769]

I got a sample of it and when I sprayed it I immediately thought Enigma. I thought I was the only one noticing the similarity. Sprayed 40 knots on one arm, Engima on the other, and it was eerily similar.

[@MRfisheri]

A xerjoff without the box. Sin! Neways I own this one and I'd describe the scent as the smell of the rusty metallic part of a yatch. It's blended well. Longevity upwards 7 hours plus. Though not my favourite in my collection. Seldom wear it.

[@duplomacette]

1:00 that’s what she said

[@gipstetz6720]

Wow!! Excellent Excellent scent. Just plain Beautiful....yet surprisingly versatile. Dosen't get much better than this. Feel lucky to have in my collection.

[@gbk1318]

On me this is definitely closer to Ambre Nuit than to Enigma. Pretty close to Ambre Nuit tbh, but surely fresher, more salty, less rosy. Smells amazing and completely year round wearable.

[@yuungdream6216]

Do women like it?

[@gbk1318]

@@yuungdream6216 Yes. My girlfriend and my mother really like it.

[@WireHedd]

40K [insert warhammer joke here] is now one of my top 3 Xerjoff warm weather frags. Nio, Uden and 40Knots are all at the front of the shelf these days. Naxos, Alexandria II and More Than Words queued up for the fall weather. Also ordered Starlight and can't wait. Xerjoff Top 10 List maybe?

[@anthonyconcepcion5466]

Beautiful bottle

[@PrepaidKreditkarte81]

Weird but when I first smelled it I found it similar to Amouage Sunshine Man. Amouage is more round and soft but still its similar to me.

[@lotuseater1775]

Its great. Its more of a smell you would find inside of a boat. That warm Wood with seasalt. I have an old 50ml bottle i will Keep Forever😍😍

[@olalraquet]

Awesome, it has been in my wish list, now more!! Thank you

[@yurifrags7564]

[@tommyt6636]

As im testing enigma vs mobster I found my lost 40 knots sample the other day and tested it my mind is blown Mobster is better than enigma and 40 knots is very diff also awsome

[@bryanryan4504]

Great fragrance it is the best of the JTC series imo. Such an Enigma-esque (roja) fragrance but so much more complex and less floral than enigma. I have 30 bottles of xerjoff. Crazy you mention same thing later in video. I mentioned enigma while I just started watching the video. Lol

[@marietadefrancesco7867]

Do you prefer 40 knots or Comandante?

[@jingledubz3989]

Great review as always Ash. This sounds awesome, and that bottle is awesome. 👍

[@thejuiceloosener150]

This thing smells 95% like Ambre Nuit. A more expensive clone, even. I don’t know why you’d buy it over the Dior, but it’s still well made.

[@wallmaan]

Shut up

[@georgeskanderbeg3242]

You are correct

[@AryxJG]

I’ve tried Ambre Nuit, it’s just too much rose. 40 knots replaces the rose with some woodiness.

[@tillb.4808]

@@AryxJG Absolutely right, I have both and Ambre nuit is more sensual and calm, whereas 40 Knots is louder and rougher, because of the wood. If you spray them on your wrist and compare them, you‘ll find big differences.

[@flightgravity7483]

Dior’s Maison line isn’t cheap either, so calling Xerjoff expensive is kind of weird

[@georgeskanderbeg3242]

Very similar to Ambre Nuit

[@ScratchPrince]

It's 95% a copy of Ambre Nuit

[@Aragon1193]

Someone please tell me they also strongly dislike Alexandria II. I’m just trying it for the first time. Got a 10 ml. I am not liking its opening or dry down yet. But some scents do take time to grow on me

[@thomasblock1164]

Maceration is real.

[@FRD-HDD]

After a few wearings you will love it.

[@tinoz8756]

Cost?

[@rob409BOI]

I always thought this was more of a heavy amber scent instead of an aquatic

[@astronoutsable]

smelling like enigma is spot on!

[@MrLatinKing13]

Hey ash. I don't think I've heard you talk about More Than Words by Xerjoff. You mentioned you love imaginary authors and MTW is based on a poetic vibe so I would imagine you would gravitate toward it or at least mention it. Have you tried it, what do you think about it if you have.

[@rolfrau5743]

There is no aquatic vibe in this one. People just getting fooled by the name and bottle color.

[@silverbacksillage6812]

Which fragrance do you like better beach hut man or 40 knots by Xerjoff?

[@KateTheSleepyTeacher]

Is it similar to Volutes by Diptyque ?

[@slickamaster]

I think its cool that they don't give you the notes because well I think anyone can review fragrances all they do is read the notes and just say for instance if there is a pineapple note or vanilla or any type of note there's nothing really much to it all you have to do is read the notes I don't see nothing hard about that. You can even review axe body spray and read the notes and it will sound interesting

[@nikosparfum3439]

Hi this is something like a fragrance Costume national pour homme fresh spice?

[@paulysci925]

I can confirm its way similar to amber nuit like 95-98 percent same scent profile. Not really like enigma. I own both enigma and ambre nuit.

[@orepaunovic2189]

I don't spray a lot, I work from home and I don't go out often... Fragrances gets boring to me quickly and I love buying decatns. I just ordered 4 decants for this spring: 40 knots, Sauvage Elixir, Egoist Platinum and Hermes H24. What do you guys think of those 4?

[@bogatyr4207]

Very Classy choices!

[@FRD-HDD]

Prada Ambre pour Homme, that's what it reminds me of.

[@justicedemocrat9357]

I thought that 40 knots smells very similar to blue sapphire from boadicea without the ambergris accord.

[@TxmmyBeats]

Idk if my nose is broken but it kinda smells like apple pie 🥧

[@duplomacette]

I’ve heard more comparisons to Dior Ambre Nuit

[@jesse_phillips]

Almost identical to my nose. Both very similar.

Exactly the price and if you’re going to use max aroma to buy It you’re not gonna save a dime I buy all my stuff from Fragrance Usa they don’t have everything but everything they have is usually in stock and about $100 cheaper than Max aroma
