87B EN-LAI
Fragrance notes
Character
AHRES presents 87B EN-LAI as a woody aromatic fragrance that leans masculine. The opening brings pineapple and lemon forward with a bright, tart energy. Thyme adds a green, slightly rough edge to the citrus. Freesia sits in the background, offering a light floral lift that keeps the start from feeling too sharp. Bergamot rounds out the top with a smooth, polished citrus tone.
Lavender and vanilla sit at the center of the heart. The vanilla here is soft and powdery rather than heavy or dessert-like. Cypress and pine give the middle a resinous, forest-adjacent character. Jasmine appears as a clean white floral accent that never dominates. The transition from the bright top to this aromatic heart feels natural and unforced. Sandalwood and amberwood form a warm, creamy base. Musk adds a clean, skin-close foundation that supports the wood without turning soapy.
The blend suits cooler air and gray skies. It works for someone who likes pine and lavender without wanting something medicinal. Those who dislike powdery vanilla or strong aromatic herbs should look elsewhere. The scent feels at home in a wool coat on a damp sidewalk lined with wet cedar planks.
