Where it differs: Milestone runs brighter and more fruit-forward, with a metallic edge and longer-lasting aquatic freshness, while 40 Knots dries down saltier and woodier.

Where it differs: Atlas is louder and sharper, with a salty marine blast that lasts all day, while 40 Knots wears smoother and more polished on skin.
Where it differs: Hawas Nautilus stays fresher and less sweet than 40 Knots, keeping the sea-air and polished-wood feel without the original's warmer, sweeter drydown.
