40 Knots Decant

40 Knots DecantTop: Sea Salt Green Notes Seawater Heart: Cedar Rose Honey Iris Base: Ambergris Amber Musk Sea salt, rose, honey, iris, and warm ambergris. It opens with a salty freshness and settles into something warm, honeyed, and quietly beautiful not at all what "sea salt" up top would suggest. Rated #9 unisex niche on Parfumo from over 5,000 ratings. A composition that earns consistent, sustained advocacy rather than hype that fades. Xerjoff retails it at $440.
