40 Noeuds: The fragrance of a luxurious boutique - Unique and unmistakable
First of all, I would like to mention right at the beginning that for me personally, "40 Nœuds | XerJoff" has nothing in common with the fragrance "40 Knots | XerJoff".
For me, this one rather embodies the feeling of entering a luxurious boutique.
This special/luxurious vibe is unmistakable and immediately reminds me of my first visit to a Cartier store when I first saw my dream watch, a Cartier Santos.
I smelled exactly THAT fragrance there and had been searching for it for a long time ever since: UNTIL the time came and a friend got it for me (blind) from the XJ boutique in Frankfurt because he happened to be nearby.

Why blind, you ask?
because "40 Nœuds | XerJoff" is an exclusive boutique fragrance that is only available in XJ stores. As a collector, it was all the more appealing to me - to add it to my collection.
And luckily I did...

What makes the fragrance so special is its continuous, sparkling champagne note, which at the same time exudes a subtle "sparkle". This sparkling freshness could be associated with Azzurro, for example. This impression is accompanied by an intense yet constant rose note that reminds me of fragrances such as Roses Musk Eau de Parfum or Arabians Tonka. I would even go so far as to say that it could well fit into Montale's repertoire, as the characteristic DNA is clearly noticeable - but whether that is a positive or negative thing is of course in the eye of the beholder. For me rather positive.

In summary, what you get here is a distinctive fragrance composed of a mixture of champagne, roses and floral elements. In a fragrance comparison, it could be described as a combination of Azzurro, a typical fruity/rose Montale fragrance and "Accento Overdose | XerJoff". And as already mentioned, I can't recognize any similarities to "40 Knots | XerJoff" - neither the maritime notes, nor the woods or the honey are present for me.
Perhaps with a lot of imagination, but even that would be difficult to create.
in any case, "40 Nœuds | XerJoff" stands on its own and the similarity in name to "40 Knots | XerJoff" tends to cause confusion in my opinion.

The performance here is TOP and can again be compared with fragrances from the V collection, e.g. an "Accento | XerJoff". Means here too, several days after spraying, you will still be able to perceive the fragrance somehow - on your clothes anyway, for days, if not weeks.

Absolutely recommendable: even has the potential to become a signature fragrance for me!
100% unisex.

Champagne in Milan
I was able to test the 40 Nouds in the Xerjoff store in Milan. My first impression was rather unimpressed, as it hardly differed from the 40 Knots. Both have this "sea salt note" that stands out very strongly at the beginning.

However, after a few minutes there is a clear difference! The fragrance really smells like champagne, as Xerjoff intended. This is exactly how I imagine smelling on a yacht. Lasts surprisingly well for a summery fragrance (I still felt it on my skin after 16 hours), but the sillage is a little less strong.

The fragrance would have been more interesting if it had been Monacco/Milan exclusive, but it's now also available in Frankfurt, which stopped me from getting it straight away.

The Day I Met Ariel the Mermaid...
I lie on the beach with my eyes closed and catch a light sea breeze.
I take a freshness, slightly salty nuance with a minimal woody note on.

I open my eyes and realize I lie stranded on a bay and discover something further from me parts of a ship or boat. The sun smiles lightly at me and I take a deep breath.
This light sea breeze, the slightly salty air paired with the light wood notes of the partly wet and yet dried wood of the boat that lies next to me.

But then I take a wonderful, slightly sweet, powdery and also at the same time minimal floral note and wonder where this comes from.

It is quite pleasant and so sensual.
Where does this floral nuance come from, although I seem to be stranded after all and sand seems to be everywhere.
I straighten slightly to the side and recognize a Gestallt next to me, which I unfortunately do not immediately recognize through the sun, because the sun in the background does not allow the view of the face.

A tender, wonderful and yet so soft voice asks me if everything is "ok".
I straighten up further and notice how this flowery fragrance becomes more and more intense, the more I get closer to the person by straightening up.

Now I recognize the face of a wonderful woman with red hair, whose blowing in the wind this wonderful flowery, slightly powdery rose fragrance throws me.

After straighten up and full contemplation of the person opposite me I realize only that this wonderful being contains a certain fin and was not sure and ask me mentally, is this a mermaid?
She comes closer to me to look at me better and to see if everything is really "ok" and hear the powdery, slightly salty and at the same time sweet scent that emanates from her skin.
This combination reminds me, for whatever reason, of a beautiful deep sea pearl.
Powdery, sweet and yet wonderfully shiny.
Paired with the light-rose-red hair, which at the same time give off a wonderful rose note, which does not seem too heavy but also not too artificial, it really seems somehow wonderfully fragile and at the same time also unapproachable and wonderful.
This sensual fragrance remains in the memory without being intrusive.
He radiates a playfulness, which nevertheless seems very sublime and radiates for me a pure sensuality.

We talk a bit and her scent enveloped me completely! Some times I must seem so absent minded, because her scent completely captivates me. I somehow just can't get enough of her and discover myself closing my eyes every now and then, just to perceive her scent, to try to absorb her scent forever in my memory.

She tells me to get up and come with her to the small boat to get to the other side, as there are other capsized people there and she wants to accompany me up to a certain point.
On the way to the other side, the scent of the boat meets me.
Woodiness paired with the light sea breeze, yet I wonder how much I still take her scent in the wind. Her hair project in the wind her scent further and enjoy every minute in which I have this combination of the sea,boat and especially her.

So slowly we arrive to the other shore and also so wonderful this time with her is, she says goodbye, looks me again deeply into the eyes and says, maybe we see each other sometime again and disappeared into the depths of the sea.
Now I'm sitting alone on the boat and her scent is no longer out of my mind and I remember her pure sensual way with her rosy red hair.
It is so surreal that I wonder if I must have been dreaming.
In the thoughts slightly lost I am snatched by a call of a person from these and brought back to reality.

But I will never forget this being, the sensual, slightly rose-scented, wonderful mermaid, hoping to see this again one day....

The magic of 40 Nœuds - The yacht master among fragrances
The gates to the yacht harbor are opened to you, the atmosphere is almost magical It begins sparkling with a luxurious champagne reception,
the jetty is covered with white flowers,
a floral and intense scent paired with sea breeze is audible.
Lubricated with fine champagne cream to counteract the blazing heat.
Dressed completely in white with a shirt and linen trousers, the Yacht Master
comes into her own, and the fragrance does it justice.

I recently entered the Xerjoff boutique on Goetheplatz for the first time to
Exclusive fragrance of the same name and
i was given a sample of this fragrance,
My joy almost exceeded that of the fragrance itself I was finally able to test this long-awaited fragrance
and it completely captivated me.

My summer fragrance 2023 was the Azzurro
and I was told that this one was similar to it,
then I realized I had to get this fragrance under my nose
and the similarity is absolutely undeniable now that I've been able to test it
A combination of Azzurro and
"Accento Overdose | XerJoff" immediately comes to mind,
The intensity is at the same level,
a beautiful sparkling champagne note opens paired with floral and fruity notes like "Accento Overdose | XerJoff" radiates,
a slightly flattering sweetness comes along, but in the noblest way.
In the background, I perceive a nuance of ozonic notes, which is comparable to a sea breeze.
It subsides and becomes increasingly creamy, the difference to the Azzurro is that the "40 Nœuds | XerJoff" is floral and accompanied by a different fruitiness right into the drydown.
A similarity to Montale also emerges in my mind, to be precise, the drydown resembles Intense Cafe paired with the aforementioned floral fruitiness.

Despite the similarities, the differences are noticeable and bring together the best of these fragrances for me, which creates an almost magical overall picture for me. Good longevity and sillage go hand in hand with the comparisons.

A fragrance that you have to test and even more beautiful if you haven't had the comparisons before.

On the yacht in Monaco
Some fragrances are quickly forgotten, others leave a lasting impression - and then there are fragrances like 40 Nœuds that captivate you from the very first moment.

That's how I felt when I had the pleasure of testing it in the Xerjoff store in Frankfurt. And from the very first spray on the test strip, I knew: this is something special. The sparkling champagne note immediately captivated me. An elegant, aquatic hint meets a luxurious depth. The 40 Nœuds is a fragrance that exudes sophistication without having to be loud. I can only recommend everyone to try this Monaco Exclusive Xerjoff if they get the chance.

The fact that the 100 ml bottle was already sold out only accelerated my decision: I had to take the 15 ml bottle with me straight away, as I definitely didn't want to go home without it. From now on, 40 Nœuds is my go-to fragrance for special occasions.

Quite different from 40 knots.
More floral, a bit more soapy, less salty. I sense a notable sparkly champagne quality to it.
It’s more delicate.
