Like a sailing trip at sunset, when the salt water is in the air and the wooden planks of the boat are warmed by the sun.

In the opening, 40 Knots is as fresh and invigorating as the wind blowing in the sails. The aquatic notes are present, but not predominant. In the DD, the fragrance becomes warmer and sweeter, like honey stored in a ship's galley. The woody notes give it a pleasant depth, while the spicy notes are reminiscent of the exotic spices that were transported on the trade routes of ancient seafarers.

40 Knots is a fragrance for adventurers and free spirits who feel drawn to the sea and freedom. It has above-average longevity with a moderate sillage - perfect for warmer days.
Still not a blind buy, in my opinion.

Layla from the Xerjoff K Collection is a fragrance that transports the senses into a world of oriental opulence.

The opening begins with an intense spice of nutmeg and clove, reminiscent of an exotic bazaar. This blend evokes the feeling of strolling through the narrow streets of an oriental market while the first rays of sunlight carry the scent of fragrant spices.
The heart note reveals a warm cedar forest, accompanied by majestic trees, ylang-ylang and patchouli playing a familiar melody.
In the drydown, a warming bonfire of amber, sweet vanilla and soft musk unfolds, lingering on the skin like the touch of a caress.

Layla is a fragrant fairy tale of love, longing and adventure told on the skin, creating unforgettable memories. H/S are fine - but could be a bit more! Personally, I think Layla is the best fragrance from the K Collection.

My first Nishane and I have no regrets! The opening of Tero is like the first bite of a salted caramel dessert. The salty sweetness of the caramel dances on the tongue, while the pepper adds a spicy note.
The heart note of Tero is like a mysterious forest in the fall. Patchouli exudes an earthy warmth, while the cinnamon breaks through the canopy like a ray of sunshine. I imagine walking along an old wooden walkway, surrounded by autumnal leaves and the scent of spices.
The DD is like a walk on the beach at night. The amber radiates a warm, golden glow, while the oak wood captures the salty sea air. The vetiver gives the fragrance depth and grounding - like standing barefoot in the sand and watching the waves.

Conclusion: For me, Tero is a sensual poem that reminds me that true beauty lies in the details - like the taste of salted caramel on the tongue or the sound of waves on the beach. As it is a warm fragrance, I would rather wear it at colder times of the year. The longevity is above average. Tero is a fragrance that takes the senses on a journey through taste, nature and memory.

Paragon by Initio is a fresh yet warm fragrance that combines Mediterranean herbs, juicy plums and woods. It opens with a clear and invigorating top note reminiscent of a Mediterranean fruity garden.
