Xerjoff JTC 40 Knots: JTC - Join The Club - includes ten perfumes representing ten different kinds of virtual clubs. No ordinary aquatic, 40 Knots captures the essence of the famous Italian yacht club and the Mediterranean air.
One of Xerjoff's signature traits is an uncanny ability to harmonize the most extreme intervals -- sparkling aquatic top notes in perfect balance with the deepest, darkest bases - like the sea itself with a sparkling surface and fathomless depth.
40 Knots opens with a sea breeze, warmed by sun-kissed, vegetal greens and cooled by the surface of the salty water. The bracing, nearly menthol, salt note ebbs and flows through the entire dry-down, which gets darker, woodier, and richer with emerging notes of coffee, cedar, and clove. The crisp green and salty beginning softens to reveal a woody, slightly floral heart.
