Eau de Parfum • Unisex • Oriental Woody Aromatic

What it is

Yacht Club by Gulf Orchid is a modern unisex fragrance launched in 2025 that balances fresh citrus brightness with rich, smoky depth and warm sweet accents. It opens with crisp bergamot, evolves into a deep aromatic heart featuring incense, labdanum and violet, and settles into a sensual base of leather, honey and vanilla that gives it a distinctive refined presence. 

What it’s a Dupe / Alternative to

Community consensus: Yacht Club is frequently compared to Xerjoff 40 Knots due to its amber, honey and tobacco-like nuances paired with leather and smoky aromatic depth, though it is not officially marketed as a clone and maintains its own character.

What it smells like

Yacht Club opens with bright bergamot that brings refreshing energy before evolving into a smoky, resinous heart of incense, labdanum and violet for aromatic complexity. The base wraps the scent in leather, honey and vanilla, creating a warm, smooth and slightly sweet trail that feels luxurious and memorable. This blend gives it an elegant, slightly bold character that bridges fresh and deep accords beautifully. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long lasting on skin and clothing. 
• Sillage: Moderate — a noticeable trail that isn’t overpowering. 
• Projection: Bright opening with a smooth dry down that sits closer to skin over time. 

Best for

• Evening wear and special occasions — deeper accords shine in cooler settings. 
• Those who enjoy amber woody and aromatic fragrances with smoky sweet depth. 
• Transitional seasons — spring nights and autumn days.
