Xerjoff Join The Club 40 Knots is a unisex EDP from Xerjoff, launched in 2012. 40 Knots refers to a fast sailing speed — and the fragrance is all about the sea. Clean marine, simple, and salty.

The heart continues the marine theme. Cedar adds dry woodiness. Salt and marine notes continue. Woody notes provide a light earthy backbone.
The base is minimal and clean. Cedar and woody notes extend the character and let the marine freshness linger.
