40 Knots by Xerjoff – Join The Club is the water sports club and departure point for a sailing trip on the waters of the Mediterranean. The fragrance takes you away from everyday life and sets sail on an unusual route.
This timeless yet original interpretation blends the feeling of freedom on a sailing boat with reflections on the Mediterranean. Time stands still, carried away by the aromas and currents of this extraordinary sea.
What a feast of colours, light and mystery! The Mediterranean scrub appears like a palette of countless shades of green, shimmering in the bright sunlight and multiplying into abstract and picturesque shapes. The boat approaches the coast and little by little small communities and fishing villages become visible between steep cliffs. Here, daily life follows the rhythm of a multitude of scents: from the aroma of morning coffee to the smell of freshly washed laundry and the maritime notes that only the local fishermen can distinguish with their unerring instinct. In almost unknown and remote places, the wonders of hidden abbeys reveal themselves in precious silence.
The impenetrable vegetation surrounds you with a protective mantle that exudes the scent of wild flowers at dawn. In the dense and silent atmosphere of prayer, the fragrance unfolds its meaning as a symbol of spiritual elevation. Xerjoff distils this Mediterranean richness into a dazzling and complex fragrance composition. It immediately evokes the natural beauty, liveliness and abundance of secrets of a legendary sea.
40 Knots – The freedom of the sea
Xerjoff has found the ideal name for a perfume that draws its inspiration from the world of sailing boats and yachts. It embodies an extravagant lifestyle. The fragrance itself is also extravagant: the opening is dominated by an accord that is as light as the fresh breeze on the high seas. At the same time, a delicate note rings out, which is slightly salty and green. It is tingling, exciting and promising.
After a few minutes, the heart note of 40 Knots opens up. It brings a warmer atmosphere to the composition.
This is composed of various wood notes that subtly contrast the fresher accords. This creates an impression of sensual freshness. Sensual and fresh – isn't that a contradiction in terms? Not at all! Xerjoff often combines opposites, and 40 Knots is no exception: it is a harmonious fragrance with an interesting and unusual note of contrasting accords.
The comforting warm sea breeze continues in the base notes of the eau de parfum, which undergoes a remarkable development. Cedarwood grounds the fresh notes and creates a relaxed sunset mood. 40 Knots captures a whole day on a magnificent yacht: from the promising morning to the romantic evening hours.
Join the Club
The Join The Club collection by Xerjoff is a tribute to our passions, our dreams and our imagination! Themes such as sailing, theatre, cigars, jazz, poetry, polo and travel inspired these highly evocative and irresistible fragrance interpretations in the form of ‘clubs’.
The fragrances conjure up a special atmosphere and evoke places and moods. JTC is a collection of Eaux de Parfum that explicitly do not feature a fragrance pyramid, but instead invite you to discover the olfactory connections and emotions of each ‘club’. The fragrances pay homage to joie de vivre, a feeling that ignites and electrifies in a flash, like the intense blue of the bottle.
