40 Knots by Xerjoff plays its character down rather than spelling it out note by note: cool, clean and faintly salty, with a dry, woody undertone that never turns sweet. It reads understated rather than showy, built for someone who wants a scent that feels put together without announcing itself. It is unisex, and suits anyone who prefers restraint over volume. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, wearing it through the evening as often as during the day. The vote is clear on both counts: most wearers find it long-lasting, and sillage reaches strong too. Give it a 3ml decant across a few cool weeks before deciding on the bottle.
10ML independently rebottles authentic Xerjoff fragrances purchased through authorized European retailers into 10ML-branded sample atomizers. 10ML is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Xerjoff. The retail bottle shown is for fragrance identification only and is not included with purchase.
