The review
Strong contender. That is where Hawas Nautilus lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to 40 Knots.
Rasasi 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.
At $54 per 100ml it costs 83% less than 40 Knots — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
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 Rasasi 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

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.
