The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Rule of 72 by 27 87 is a woody spicy fragrance that captures the essence of contemporary sophistication. Perfumer Gaël Montero has crafted an intricate composition with saffron and cardamom adding vibrant spice notes to the top, while agarwood (oud) and leather bring a rich earthy warmth to the base. The middle notes of geranium and ylang-ylang create a delicate floral contrast that tempers the smoky oud and vetiver, resulting in a complex yet balanced scent.

How to wear it

Given its long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient to ensure that the fragrance develops fully on your skin throughout the day. The moderate sillage ensures it stays close to you without projecting too far into the room.
