Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and totally unexpected, 40 Knots is a chameleon that baffles with its true identity. Don't expect a fresh aquatic; brace yourself for a woody, salty, powdery journey that many find utterly captivating, and just as many find utterly confusing.
Smooth Sailing offers an invigorating burst of freshness ideal for daytime wear in warmer climates. It's a versatile, uplifting choice suitable for various occasions.
