By the editors · 2 min readJTC 400 opens with honey-steeped bergamot — the citrus grounding what could otherwise be cloying sweetness, giving the first impression a polished brightness. The floral heart is substantial: ylang-ylang's creamy narcotic quality, orange blossom's fresh powdery sweetness, and rose's structural depth layer into something with genuine weight. The base is where Xerjoff earns its house reputation — vetiver providing clean earthy contrast, vanilla warming the cedar's pencil-shaving dryness, patchouli tying everything together with quiet authority.
This is a full oriental-floral composition built for evening wear, rich enough to be noticed and complex enough to be worth noticing. It projects confidently without becoming loud — a fragrance that earns its premium positioning.
