Floris London Turnbull & Asser 71/72 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Penny Ellis. Turnbull & Asser 71/72 opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Lavender, and settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Juniper. Floris London's Turnbull & Asser 71/72 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper British gentleman, a divisive beast of a scent that some find endlessly sophisticated and others, well, a bit too quiet and 'nicely played'. It's all about that woody-oudy spice, but don't expect it to shout; it's a whisper, not a roar.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its polite sillage and sophisticated, clean-yet-woody profile make it ideal for the office or formal settings where discretion is key. The lack of potent projection, while disappointing to some, actually boosts its suitability for close-quarter professional environments. It's too refined and subtle for casual wear or sport.

About

It kicks off with a fresh, crisp blast of bergamot and mandarin, quickly softened by aromatic lavender. Then, things get serious. A juniper and orris heart gives way to a complex base dominated by an 'ashy, gravelly' oud, smoothly blended with amberwood and sandalwood. There's a persistent woody-citrus interplay, giving it an animalic edge that remains surprisingly clean and polished.
