Rule of 72

Inspiration
Rule of 72 is named after the mathematical rule of thumb that calculates how quickly an investment doubles. Guided by that sharpness, 27 87 combines the muted elegance of saffron and geranium with vigorous natural Thai oud and creamy guaiac wood. Leather, vetiver and patchouli whisper confidence rather than scream it.

Woody and oud

The Olfactive Composition
Top notes: Cypress, saffron, cardamom, geranium
Heart notes: Oud, ylang-ylang, cedarwood, guaiac wood
Base notes: Vetiver, patchouli, leather

The Signature of Rule of 72
Cypress and cardamom open cool and aromatic, saffron adds a leathery glow. The Thai oud is natural and therefore smoky, slightly animalic and alive. Guaiac wood makes it round, vetiver and patchouli dry and earthy, and leather holds everything together.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Rule of 72 is the most serious composition 27 87 makes and a beautiful introduction to oud for those who still find it daunting. The opening is fresh and spicy, the heart smoky yet civilised, and in the drydown a soft leather with wood remains that stays through a whole day and evening. We wear it with a suit or a good coat, to business dinners or an evening at the opera. For people who want to radiate strength without showing off.
