   I picked up Knots (2012) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Give it a little time and Woody Notes with Cedar comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Woody Notes and Cedar feel carefully balanced. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   For a 2012 release, Knots deserves more attention than it gets. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Woody Notes with Cedar, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Woody Notes and Cedar feel carefully balanced. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   I have owned Knots for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The heart is the best part for me: Woody Notes and Cedar feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Woody Notes with Cedar comes forward — smooth and well done. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   A decant of Knots sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The heart is the best part for me: Woody Notes and Cedar feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Woody Notes with Cedar comes forward — smooth and well done. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

Give it a little time and Woody Notes with Cedar comes forward — smooth and well done. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I have owned Knots for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. Give it a little time and Woody Notes with Cedar comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Woody Notes and Cedar feel carefully balanced. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   XerJoff knows how to compose, and Knots (2012) is proof. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Woody Notes with Cedar, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Woody Notes and Cedar feel carefully balanced. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

    I keep reaching for Knots more than I expected to. Give it a little time and Woody Notes with Cedar comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Woody Notes with Cedar, which is where the fragrance really shines. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. I wanted to like it more than I did.

A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.
