The review
Worth a try. That is where 40 Knots lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to 40 Knots.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 40 Knots's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: sea notes, cardamom and bergamot up top, sage, geranium and nutmeg in the middle, ambergris, cedar and musk underneath — the shape of Xerjoff 40 Knots.
Top
- sea notes
- cardamom
- bergamot
Heart
- sage
- geranium
- nutmeg
Base
- ambergris
- cedar
- musk
A crisp saline-woody voyage of ambergris and cedar over an ocean spray heart.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
