JTC 400 by Xerjoff is a rich, honeyed white floral with an enveloping sweetness that unfolds with surprising depth. The opening bursts with mandarin, bergamot, and thick honey, creating a sense of luxurious indulgence that lingers for hours. The heart breathes with orange blossom, ylang-ylang, and white tobacco, layered over a subtle, herbal floral base that carries a slightly vintage, old-world elegance. The drydown reveals a smooth, powdery vanilla melded with cedar, vetiver, and patchouli—giving it a grounded, long-lasting presence. This is not a fresh or crisp scent; instead, it feels like a premium home fragrance or a luxurious boutique perfume, powerful in projection and notably long in wear. It’s an opulent, potent experience that commands attention, especially in enclosed spaces or crowded environments. The scent is predominantly feminine in character, though marketed as unisex, and performs differently on men versus women—some find it a perfect signature, while others perceive it as overwhelming or overly sweet. It’s especially praised for its longevity and sillage, though the initial impact can be intense, especially for those not fond of sumptuous florals or honey-centric compositions. It’s not for those seeking a minimalist, clean, or natural aroma—it’s bold, luxurious, and inherently dramatic, evoking memories of high-end department stores or vintage perfumes. If you enjoy complex, warm, sweet florals with vanilla and tobacco undertones, this is a standout performer.
