Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 40 Knots EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Smooth Sailing EDP
Smooth Sailing chases Xerjoff 40 Knots' boozy-aquatic yacht-party fantasy. The candied rum and sea-salt opening is a close nod, but the amber dry-down settles thinner and shorter-lived than 40 Knots' rich, resinous original.

Its moderate projection and smooth finish make it surprisingly versatile for office wear, despite its initial intensity. The elegant, sophisticated character lends itself well to formal and date settings, though it might be a bit much for casual daytime if over-sprayed.
