Got the Kenzo Homme EDP in a random sample and bought it afterwards. Damn it‘s a banger for an underrated Designer-frag. Rich and Complex, versatile and triggers every box. Somehow mysterious, like if you walk into a place with lots of vegetation, those humid plant-stores or jungle-terrariums.
Where did you get it?
@@aaronespinoza1630 Ordered it from a discounter. Flaconi.
Thank you for trying 40 knots, I always wondered how this smelled.
Smells like an old drawer full of stuff. Terrible to me
@@AndreSpecht lol oh no, hard pass
Smells like salty battery acid
@@sneakybeaky2112 salty battery acid inside of an old drawer full of stuff 😭
@@iWRITEE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just ordered a bottle of the KENZO EDP. After ordering the sample and trying it I was like yes.❤
Kenzo EDP is an interesting fragrance - like the sea saltiness of Bvlgari Aqua Marine, the leather of Bottega Veneta and the effervescent patchouli from Narciso Rodriguez for Him... and you're right - it has grown on me and now I really like it. Not a great first impression but really creeps up on you
Sneak attack huh 😂
40 knots is a very complex fragrance Justin, as you will see when you give it a full wear, it evolves over time very much, its the most amazing fragrance in my collection.
Kenzo Pour Homme EDT Intense which was the one released first in 2020 or 2021 is a looooot better because it has this salty watermelon accord which you can't find in the others. You should try that one as well Justin!
I ordered a sample and I have a feeling KENZO is a must have in my collection.😊
Yep I was right. Omg it's an eclectic scent. 👍👌
40 knots held the Top spot in my collection for a long time. You definitely have to allow it to transition. But in my opinion it’s an amazing frag
I gave 40 Knots a full wearing today and actually loved it.
I might blind buy this one...
40 knots is a an awesome scent! It's a unique and luxurious gentlemanly scent. I will forever have a bottle of it in rotation in my collection.
Is it normal that 40 Knots give me a big headache? I spray like 10 spray approximately. Is it too much?
@@Charlie-ly5sd way too much bro! 😉 3-4 sprays would be enough
@@sur5notes yeah hahaha 😂
Kenzo has nice scents. Fresh, leaning aquatic and oriental in general. They used to have only edt. Never moved me enough to actually get a bottle.
Of all the fragrances I have smelled…500+….nothing transforms and morphs like 40 knots. It’s different in every single season. It’s salty, sweet, minerally, ambers, powdery, fresh, dark, marine, etc etc. if you want a chameleon of a fragrance that will change every time you wear it…40 knots is the one. One of Xerjoff’s best. I think after multiple wearing you will appreciate the chameleon of fragrances. It can be worn in any season as well IMO
Absolutely correct chameleon of fragrances
I gave 40 Knots a full wearing today and actually loved it.
Justin's reaction right there trying 40 knots for the first time...exactly like mine 🤣🤣 "Marine, aquatic...what? No...can't be right...but unique...I'm liking this..." I wore this 3 times from a 2ml sample, on cold weather and warmer weather...fantastic on both. Deep in the drydown, towards the 6th hour it develops an animalic note - can't put my finger on it. It gets sour somehow...but I can't say it bothers me. This is really really good.
I didn't like the opening of 40 knots but after bout 10-15 minutes I started enjoying it.
Man, I still miss my kenzo pour home OG, from the 90's so complex and so fresh. Kenzo homme EDP, it's a fine aquatic for year round, yeah, it lasts long during cold weather, for an aquatic fragrance 👍
I liked the EDP more and more as it dried on my hand.
They did a great job marketing 40 Knots lol I don’t get the marine aquatic either. And I wouldn’t wear it in the high heat. I live in Louisiana so I would choke people with it. I do like the scent though.
Just picked up Kenzo Homme EDP looking forward to it arriving in the mail.
It caught me by surprise when I first smelled 40 knots. With each wear I’ve loved it more and more though. Hope you enjoy it with more wears too!
I gave it a full wearing today and loved it.
I have 8 fragrances from Aaron Terrence one of them being daddy, which is amazing ! I love the catchy name…a woman asked me what I was wearing because it smelled amazing and I told her daddy…her reply was “I’m sure the ladies do call you daddy smelling like that” lol
Kenzo pour Homme intense is fantastic. It's my current summer signature. I have an appreciation for the avant garde approach that Kenzo takes with their fragrances.
Kenzo Boise "Woody" and Power are my two favorites from the house. I know that you have an appreciation for fragrances with classic appeal so Kenzo Jungle might be an interesting one to sample as well.
are you referring to the pour home EDT Intense? if so, what’s that like to you? I missed out on all those in the 90s and that looks so interesting.
Definitely wanna try Jungle!
Man, I got 40 knots on a blind buy based on reviews and I hated it at first. I thought it smelled like Nivea lotion or something. It grew on me and the drydown is where it's at.
Sometimes the fragrant memories of childhood comfort more than we expected
You should give Kenzo Jungle a try…..
You may enjoy it.
Much different from their Homme / Pour Homme lines…
I do the edt intense from their Homme line and it’s solid… fresh woody fig scent. I like it.
Jungle is where it’s at though…
I've had my eye on it for a while!
Kenzo homme eau de parfum off my skin I get a dark marine note " with after a few minutes lot's of leather and patchouli. I don't have anything in my large fragrance collection that is a very unique aquatic leather fragrance in my opinion" honestly hasn't been one time I've worn this fragrance that more than once someone is saying that the fragrance smells fantastic lol
I think the EDP (2020) smells good in the air but when I bury my nose where I spray it, I literally get nauseous.
I had to revisit this video to let you know I got my hands on a bottle of Kenzo pour homme EDP and you were not exaggerating this juice at all. I was blown away. It’s playful but grown-up. Smells like nothing I’ve smelt and for the price it’s definitely winner!
Yes! I’m so glad you dig it!
Bro Copeland, I’m watching the Verscents battle with you and fellow Marylander EQ! That intro for you was EPIC and well deserved Sir!! Keep grinding to 100 K!!!! You deserve that for sure!!
I appreciate that bro!
Love the channel! Could you do a follow up on the full wearing of Kenzo? Keep the content rolling brotha
Coming soon! Thanks bro.
I just got a few attars from Ensar and one of them is absolutely stellar and I’m sure you would enjoy the vibes from using this particular attar and it is - Sultan Leather attar - I highly recommend if you have not had the experience of this one yet . It is special indeed and I think you would appreciate the experience. Thanks for all of the great content. Much appreciated
Completely off topic here buuuuuuttt:
Since the hiatus of the Custin skits has been far too long, I would love to see its comeback. And I think it would work Exceptionally great in YT short / tiktok format. Flashy short skit with Justin & Custin, yup I’m sold.
Heyyy Justin ouwer Hermes Merveilles line is in the house😉 for a sec..
Xerjoff has amazing scents, my favorite still is Dolce Amalfi💛, especially in hot summer weather it's stunning!
Never tried the 40 knots.
Love from ❤ Amsterdam
I still need to try Dolce Amalfi! Thank you! 😊
@@stayfreshproductions what!!????
Its that i am from Holland else i would buy you one.. for real, it is ...💛💛💛💛💛💫 stunning!
Its an all year round scent but last summer when it was around 30 degrees outside, best gem for those days.
Hope you can find a bottle and than make a video of it 😃🙏
Here we pay around 90 euro for a 30 ml bottle (the book which is in it... doesn't smell bad at all)
Imo the kenzo edt intense is the one to get. The new marine flanker keeps the same dna but a bit lighter, really pleasant as well.
Thx for the live impression! I can't help it: I'm almost ready to believe that "Quentin's chemicals" and my nose refuse to cooperate...I tryed Ganymed, Bois imperial and now Kenzo- and there's always something that puts me of...weird actually, even if I can't put my finger on somethingparticular (same experience I have with some BDK releases). However, I can see why people like it and there are millions of other options for me...😉
Haha it’s so interesting when that happens.
Love the Kenzo EDP. What I'm gonna say next might not make sense..but to me it's as if Bleu de Chanel and JPG le Beau edp had a lovechild.
Thank you for getting the fly haircut…and exploring the recommendations offered.
I am thinking the designer world has been overlooked a bit too much as a viable option in the confusion of niche creativity.
Thank you Catherine!
40 knots is a stronger ambré nuit
I have Ivory Route and I think 40 Knots and Ivory have a semi same base or dry down.
But Ivory Route seems more heavy on spices whilst 40 Knots has that salty, powdery smell.
My fragrance of the day was
40 knots layered with Dior homme original !
What a feeling !
Kenzo air was my favorite, had it when I was a teen and I have been trying to find it ever since.
40knots is one of those that I saved up for. Got a full 100ml bottle and it is so nice. I too agree that is affected by the marketing and RUclips. It is not really an aquatic. BUT, it does work in the heat!
It's great!
Dang! I missed the live 😫. But this was fun, thanks for sharing! I'm kind of shocked that any content creators to first impressions especially live. Just because I have come back to so many samples and had a completely different experience. Just the other day I did that with one. And now I really want a bottle.😅
Haha. We do it for the drama! And of course getting to interact with you all. Next time!
I got nothing marine out of 40 knots !!!! Lol nor aquatic. Was powdery and a bit sweet off my skin.
From florida smelling like Prada L’Homme today. I think you would enjoy some of the Tumi fragrances. A bit simple, but still quite good, excellent for layering.
Thanks for sharing!! I've tried Tumi in the past. Not bad.
I purchased the kenzo but it hasn’t arrived yet I also picked up 40 knots and also like it. Idk to me smelled like sweet spicy woods seaweed breeze 😂😂😂😂 I know that sounds strange but if I was on the beach and the wind was blowing with a little sweetness this is what I imagine from 40 knots . 40 knots kind smells like a salty spice bomb but I like it
40 Knots smells so much like Rojas Enigma PC on the dry down with Rojas being smoother and more complex.
I've heard some people say that Kenzo EDP is like a summer version of La Nuit. I'm not sure if you got anything close to that, but I saw someone in a group I'm in mention it, and that did pique my interest a little. It doesn't seem like it'd be all that similar from the notes and what it's being compared to though.
I wouldn't say that!
I owned the OG Kenzo Pour Home with the frosted blue bamboo bottle back in the 90s. There was that particular sea note that distanced it from the other offerings at the time. It was the combination of the salty sea note with the woody floral base that made it unique.
I sampled 40 Knots and it was love at first sniff. Took me to an image of day at the marina while wearing a white shirt while I board a yacht. A marine amber. But the more I wore it the more I felt it was too strong for the warm seasons.
I gave it a full wearing yesterday and loved it! It doesn’t stand out to me as a summer fragrance at all, but it does have some nice complexity to it.
You'll absolutely love the new jaque fath fragrance called
Jaque fath VETIVER GRIS !
it's a beautiful aromatic fruity and zesty fragrance with touches of sweet hazelnut in the background.
Sounds great!
what Justin keeps telling us to test before buying 😂😂 and what he does 😆, always try to find a sample, 40 knots it's nice, super sophisticated can be worn anytime as it will change a lot , some recomandations from xerjoff, Begum, Torino , Robert Piguet - Knightsbridge
I’ve had good luck with Dua and Alexandria fragrances smelling exactly like the originals…so I picked up “Smooth Sailing” by Alexandria (a 40 knots clone) and I got a big dose of sweet powder all the way through. And I thought, we’ll maybe they really missed the mark on this clone - but apparently not, cuz what you described is EXACTLY what I smell in mine.
They still might not be exactly the same! I wore it today and the magic was in the dry down. Good stuff.
@@stayfreshproductions - Thanks, if you get the chance to pick up the other two (Dua and Alexandria), and if you think it’d be a good video…I’d love to see you compare them.
Hello Justin
I leave in France.
Kenzo edp in my opinion smell like oud essentiel Guerlain.
Very similare .but kenzo is more accessible for Any occasion.
Very nice blue fragrance.
Thank you for watching!
It is indeed a very nice blue fragrance.
What you said about ombre des merveilles is what I would say about h24. I like it but I’m not sure I would want it on my body.
So basically 40 knots is Xerjoff take on Dior ambre Nuit. 40 knots is a bit denser but Ambre Nuit is lighter a bit fresher and somewhat better quality. Xerjoff performed much better for me. But it imo Dior on scent alone is better.
40 knots at times reminds me of Acqua Di Sale from profumua Roma
40 knots, you have to try it some time to aprecciate, it will grow on you im sure of that.
So Justin, I am watching your video now and you won’t believe what happened… when you ripped open that box, I had just started to fall asleep. I was startled and I actually thought that you might’ve had steak and sweet potato or something and there was a bit of an accident…😮😂 Needless to say, I am awake! I enjoy your fragrance channel. 👊🏽
😆🙏🏾
I love 40 Knots, outstanding fragrance. However, it's not really a marine scent. It's more optimal in the fall.
I agree
Okay so I bought Kenzo Homme Man edt and it smells like opening up one of those plastic kid swimming pools that come rolled up vertically with the blue rubber plastic bottom and the hard flexible white wall with the sea animal print...wow.
Lol
Heh, funny how you got 40 Knots after I sent Ross my bottle, lololol. I got mine from Jomashop at a nice discount so I didn't pay a whole lot. The thing about it though is that later on as it macerates, at least in my experience, it got quite spicy on me, like veerrryyyyy spicy. I don't know how or why, but when I first tried the sample and my first few wearings, yeah it was aquatic...but not aquatic. Fresh, marine, but deep and had layers and layers. But I let the bottle sit for a long while, I didn't really go back to it except on occasion. When I did go back much later, it had a marine accord, but then it just developed this spice which made me think that there was cardamom in the fragrance...and it was mainly a spicy and woody marine fragrance all the way through. I liked the scent, but I wasn't captivated like I was at first. So I knew Ross loved spicy fragrances, but I knew this had depth, so I offered it to him and sent it and he loves it now, so I'm happy. Just give it time, it will open up more as it macerates.
I gave 40 Knots a full wearing today and actually loved it!
@@stayfreshproductions -- Hey now! That's awesome man!
Two are the best Kenzo's ( for me , of course ) Kenzo Homme EDT ( 1991 and the new re edition) and Kenzo L'Eau Pour Homme ( 1999) the rest are following trends and not very distinctive .
I have ( more than word ) from this line and i can tell you that it is in my top 3
Strongest fragrance ever smelled it is a beast man
100% Facts!
I have sampled 40 knots and, unfortunately, all I get is baby wipes right off the rip. After a while it changes slightly with a little bit of a woody backbone, but the baby wipe vibe persists. I traded the decant away in the end.
I guess I'm the only one that thinks 40 knots is mid... I wanted to love it, and I actually do get the salt air vibe ...but when I want to wear xerjoff I reach for nio, naxos, uden or decas.
Kenzo jungle is the kind of sophistication you looking for
To me 40 knots smells like a coca cola mixed with white flowers, very nice and interesting fragrance
You describing the box reminds me of how bad the bottle of Bond No 9 Sutton Place smelled lol
Haha
Curious about the Nishane fragrances though! Missed the live :/
To my nose, 40knots is amber nuit minus the saltiness it can have. I don’t get any maritime or aquatic from it. Perhaps I just don’t understand it lol.
What the HECK is on that BOX MY FRIEND, YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS are HALARIOUS........😂😭😅🤣🤝🏾🇺🇲💪🏾
40 knots is definitely not about the opening...it's amazing after it settles
This new bottle of Kenzo has me stumped. Has to be a reformulation. The OG almost had a rubbery accord to it that this one is missing. Its very odd that they changed it this much. One of my all time favorites, but the new formulation isn't my jam. Enjoy!
I LOVE 40 knots. All of my Xerjoffs are great.
Today I hv on scent of woods, bread in chestnut.
I love 40 knots , especially on breezy days the scent bubble is 🔥🔥
40 Knotts is nice and unique! It was my sotd almost daily on my most recent vacation.
colonia intensa is awesome citrus woody aromatic spicy scent! Also from ELDO try rien intense incense, a masterpiece of a fragrance. Incense with aldehydes, leather and more. Beast mode! The name 40 knots and resemblance with ambre nuit was surprising to me as well but i haven't yet compared them myself. but the smelly box reactions and the ATH name reactions were funny lol. Also I would like to suggest some and make u try it on camera, how do i do it? :)
I need to try those from ELDO.
In terms of suggestions, if I continue to get them for a particular fragrance, then I will get it and try it. :)
@@stayfreshproductions i understand.
Ya 💯 amazing price for 100ml Xerjoff
I get a coconutty vibe from the Kenzo. I can't detect any leather or patchouli note.
Bought the scent because of the almost positiv comments by the people. But I'm a little underwelmed
Just make sure you're not only judging the scent from smelling it up close!
You should hugo boss bottled marine. Its so unique
Now we know why the Xerjoff boxes come in a box and that box is in cellophane. It is to make sure you don’t find out the very first box is a smelly one 😉
SOTD.. Orion by Tiziana Terenzi
Tom Ford Oud Minerale on a budget 🔥
40 knots to me is an amber marine heavy on the amber
Have you heard about the new isola Blu from roja? If so is it supposed to be the re-release of oligarch?
Yes, it is supposed to be identical to Oligarch.
Fragrancebuy has amazing prices, sadly they don't ship to EU though. Does anyone know any good sites with similiar prices that ship to EU?
40 knots changes alot. Wait until you give a full wearing
14:02 ganymede dupe? No, 40knots came before ganymede. they dont smell the same. Though both smell minerally.. but its not the same minerals.. ganymede is more versatile as it is an easy grab. to me 40knots is more for a triple white ensemble affair. Longevity is on par but some days 40knots could go an hour or two longer
Vanillic, ambery and powdery? That is so the opposite from the 40knots I smell from my 40knots. Its not soft, and has nothing to do with Alexandria 1 or 2 to my nose. It smells salty, akin to the sea breeze. skin chemistry is a thing. lol but one thing for sure is you have to be in the mood for 40knots.
Edit: ah ok u got the marine notes finally.. perhaps the fragrance oil thats been stuck at the nozel the whole time been mixing with the box smell and that was what hit u initially lol
They were talking about Kenzo possibly being a clone of Ganymede not 40 knots lol. Trust me, Kenzo and Ganymede are not clones even though Quentin Bisch was the nose for both.
40 knots reminds ke of ambre nuit
Hi JC, Lee from Leeds in England - Allsaints Sunset riot,
Amber Oud Ruby Rouge Edition
I didn't like 40 knots. Was trying and trying but no. Exchange it for Oud for Greatness. See,oceans,aquatic? Noup. Now I feel I should wear it little longer but what's done it's done. Someday ...
One question ... Why perfumes are called fragrances in the USA? It's so hard for me to get use to it considering I'm from Europe.
I gave 40 Knots a full wearing today and actually loved it.
People here actually more commonly say "cologne" for men and "perfume" for women. "Fragrance" is more common here on RUclips.
@@stayfreshproductions good choice,i wear it and my wife really like 40knots everytime i wear it and last week i buy mancera tonka cola and mancera tonka cola almost smell like 40knots but without powdery.both i like
@@stayfreshproductions Will try 40 with full wearing. Maybe I judged to fast.
Fragrance it is then :)
ps: Thank you for making me see and understand fragrances from another perspective. My choice's got better,feel satisfied with fragrances finally.
Green Lover Lolita Lempicka is such a gem!
@@Frank-DuxVanDamme 😊
Between 40 knots and Ambre Nuit which one do you prefer overall?
I haven’t smelled Ambre Nuit in some time, would need to revisit it.
Would love to see your take Megamare by Orto Parisi 💯
I wonder if Torno 21 is better, I have been wondering about that one.
Me too!
I heard he said something happened to Nishane Hacivat. Could anyone explain that to me..?? I love the fragrance. Something about reformulation scared me. Is it true..??
I don’t believe they are replacing it. They created a new version of it.
100 dollas for xerjoff 40 knots, no way!! In regards to the smell - its very marine salty. Great fragrance!
I don't like 40 knots either. Smells too mature
40 knots went from soft amber to baby powder in 30 minutes. hated this. nothing marine about ti.
The dry down on me lasts for a while
Guys...
Overture or
Royal Tobacco Amouage ???
Hard choice, they're very different!
@@stayfreshproductions went with Royal Tobacco and they gave me 10mls of overture man....probably get fb next
Thank you Justin keep on keeping on..🙏🏽💯🎯🔥
I was the one who recommended the Kenzo lol
I remember you were one of them. I've been getting lots of messages about it!
@@stayfreshproductions I agree with your thoughts from this live 100%. I suspect that full wearing will really change your mind on the fragrance. Ive really taken to your mantra of wearing scents that speak to me and this is a perfume that out of 30 or so bottles (which im still trying to downsize in light of my new tastes) I reach for constantly. Its infectious for some reason.
I think I paid 150 or so for it on Jomashop.
Great video lol
