40 Knots by Xerjoff is a unisex Eau de Parfum that captures the feeling of open water—salty air, sun-warmed skin, and sleek woods in a refined, yacht-club style.

Part of Xerjoff’s Join the Club collection, the brand intentionally keeps the ingredient list undisclosed, inviting you to experience the scent through its marine-woody impression rather than a published note pyramid. On skin, it reads as a fresh, salty aquatic with green nuances and a smooth, woody backbone that feels clean, polished, and quietly luxurious.

Bottle Description: A faceted, gradient deep-blue bottle that fades toward clear glass, finished with a gold-toned emblem plaque and sculpted gold cap—bold, nautical, and collectible.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for warm-weather days, resort trips, and anyone who wants an elevated marine scent with a smooth woody finish.
