Join The Club 400

This was not a blind buy for me, I even ordered a sample for it from the official company website, although I had already tested it on my skin prior in a local store, but even if this had been a blind buy, I wouldn't have regretted it for one single second. I have mentioned in one of my previous reviews that I have a really dry skin, no matter what I do, so I am very demanding about fragrances and choosing one is a challenge for me (actually, the only reason I turned my attention towards niche perfumery is the fact that I hoped to get the long-lasting fragrances I could not find in retail stores, even if that meant to pay more for them). 400 is, by far, the most powerful sweet-floral fragrance I have ever tried, despite being EDP and not Parfum (I have noticed that many Xerjoff fragrances belong to the "Parfum" category). The top sweetness lasts way longer than expected (probably like 20-25 minutes, which is insane) on my skin (even on my wrists, although I am washing my hands very often and they are the most prone to dehydration). The overall duration I could measure was of around 11 hours for me and the last element I could still feel at the end was a well-defined vanilla. Despite being so floral, I see it appropriate for colder days as well, because the top sweetness (not cloying at all for me, but it is also a matter of liking/disliking sweet perfumes, and I am on the sweet side) is quite enveloping and it makes me feel as if I had a cup of hot drink in my hand.

I have 400 on for the first time. I can't tell you if there is any correlation between Oxford Street or London England in general. What I can tell you is how 400 makes me feel. And, it makes me feel reinvented. It is exceptional. For the past month, I have been testing out almost the entire collection from Xerjoff and I thought Ceylon was the pinnacle of my sample set. I was wrong. 400 has a similar note composition, most apparent in the honey opening. Perhaps the orange blossom as well. There is a gentle spice aspect and I don't know from where. Maybe the tobacco blossom? When that is juxtaposed with a sweet ylang-ylang it creates an almost narcotic effect. Of course there are other elements, but everything is blended beautifully. There is nothing overpowering or that stands out from the rest. In my opinion, this is the most successful out of the join the club series. Better than more than words. Better than 40 knots and yes, better than k’bridge Club. Attractive on a woman, Drop dead on a man.

A predominantly vanilla fragrance with a slight hint of citrus, a heavy dose of white florals, a little floral/herbal tobacco, and a cedar base. Performance is among the best Xerjoff has to offer. The opening can be overwhelming the first few wears, but definitely worth powering through. Once you begin to really understand this fragrance, it's easy to detect its beauty and superb quality. Definitely worthy of its exclusive status. This is a powerhouse that leaves a strong trail and lasts longer than most of the fragrances in my collection. Definitely work safe and right down the middle of unisex fragrances. Due to the inclusion of tobacco this is often compared to Naxos, but I see more similarities with Lira. The tobacco in this fragrances is definitely more floral and herbal than the classic tobacco used in Naxos. As a word of advice, don't judge this off of its first impression. It has much more depth than its initial blast reveals.

If you’re curious about 400 I will give you a comp that will make you laugh…but there is some truth to it. It shares some similarities to Jordan’s Legend. Now Michael Jordan’s Legend is a super cheapy that you can buy for 15.00 at Marshall’s. There is a gaping cavern that separates the quality of these fragrances; buuuuut, they share that white floral opening with that honeyed tobacco backbone that give both fragrances a kind feminine/masculine dichotomy. 400 is far superior in every way, but if you’ve smelled Legend then your at least in the same ballpark,(just in far better seats.) An easier comparison that won’t hurt your brain is 400 as Naxos with the white florals amped up. I am a large, burly man and I enjoy florals in my fragrances to tone down my vibe…this one works perfectly. An absolute 10/10 fragrance that I will wear for life.

This is outstanding. There is a similarity with naxos because of the honey note but i find the two very different in composition.. This i far more complex, every time i discover new nuances and aspects..It opens with a strong dark raw honey note together with orange giving a sweet fruity opening.. In the heart, white floral aspects rise, white tobacco and jasmine giving little old school vibe but very elegant and luxurious. Base notes is the typical xerjoff base of vanilla, patchouli cedarwood.. White tobacco stays until the end.. it really reminds me exactly the selfridges experience of luxury shops, coffee shops, luxury perfume stores. Longevity and projection out of this world and it is 50:50.. i am 30 male and i got many compliment on this.. Worth buying. I disagree that it is a feminine naxos. Completely.
