Rule of 72 is a power suit in perfume form. Confident without being arrogant, it encourages you to make a lucrative investment… in yourself!
Confronted by today’s rapidly changing societal and economic environment, 27 87 founder Romy set out to create a scent for the enterprising mindset: highly determined, decisive, and present.
The rule of 72 is a formula that estimates the amount of time it takes for an investment to double in value. As a back-of-the-envelope calculation, one simply divides 72 by the annual interest rate.
Rule of 72 is both cool and calculated but also determined and ambitious. It whispers style rather than screaming it – it’s basically just effortlessly cool!

HOW IT WEARS
Rule of 72 opens with the bright, almost mineralic cypress and cardamom, combined with the warmth of saffron and the earthiness of geranium. The Thai oud (the highest quality oud available) is absolutely exquisite, pure and prominent in the heart of this scent – sweetened slightly by ylang ylang, enveloped in a creamy blanket of guaiac wood. The base of leather, vetiver and patchouli give the fragrance a muted and elegant landing pad… complex and intriguing without being too loud. Overall this scent has incredible projection and will last on the skin for 6-8 hours or even longer!
LORE LOVESÂ
Rule of 72 is a real point of difference for the 27 87 collection – it’s deeper and richer than a lot of their scents, but still has that unique complexity that’s synonymous with the brand and its modern approach to perfume. You may think you know the combination of oud, leather and saffron, but Rule of 72 presents it to us in a way we’ve never seen before. The balance of notes in this fragrance is so considered and precise – while the oud is pure and animalic, it’s never too strong or overbearing. This is the perfect scent to wear when you want to back yourself and give yourself a bit of a confidence boost… without seeming like you’re trying too hard.
