Reliable wear data is not available yet, so performance is still uncertain. Based on the materials listed, it may come across as fairly present in the opening, especially with ambrocenide, Iso E Super, birch and musk in the structure. Sample first if you are sensitive to stronger projection or dry woody-musky bases.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
The scent profile looks woody first, then leathery, musky and smoky, with rose and white florals adding lift through the middle. Citrus and pink pepper should make the opening feel brighter, but the overall direction seems dry, textured and resinous, with a smoother vanilla-amber softness underneath.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe accords suggest a fragrance that moves from sharp woods into smoky leather, then settles into musk, amber and soft sweetness. Rose looks like more than decoration here, because it likely gives the darker materials some shape and contrast. Vanilla and tonka should soften the base, but probably without turning it creamy or gourmand.

In wear, this probably suits someone who enjoys contrast. You have fresh sparkle at the top, floral movement in the middle, and a base that leans smoky, musky and resinous. That is a more stylized profile than a simple everyday freshie. It may appeal to wearers who like statement woods and leather, especially if they enjoy scents that feel structured and a little dramatic.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“No.28687 Review”
No.28687 is built like a modern woody leather fragrance with a lot happening under the surface. The opening combines pink pepper, citrus, fruity notes and ambrocenide, which suggests a bright, diffusive start rather than a soft one. That setup usually gives a fragrance lift and projection early on, but it can also read sharp if you are sensitive to powerful modern aroma chemicals.
What makes this composition more interesting is the heart. Instead of staying strictly dry and woody, it brings in rose and jasmine alongside Iso E Super. That points to a scent that is not only smoky or leathery, but also polished by floral texture. The rose accord in particular looks important here, because it sits unusually high in the overall profile and likely helps stop the fragrance from feeling flat or purely aggressive.
The base is where No.28687 seems to show its full character. Birch, styrax, oakmoss, patchouli, cedar and musk create the darker backbone, while vanilla, tonka bean and ambergris add roundness. On paper, that suggests a dry smoky effect first, then a smoother, slightly sweeter finish as it settles. It does not look sugary, but it also does not look completely austere. There should be some warmth under the woods.
In wear, this probably suits someone who enjoys contrast. You have fresh sparkle at the top, floral movement in the middle, and a base that leans smoky, musky and resinous. That is a more stylized profile than a simple everyday freshie. It may appeal to wearers who like statement woods and leather, especially if they enjoy scents that feel structured and a little dramatic.
The main caution is balance. Without wearer reviews, performance data or broader community feedback, it is difficult to say exactly how smooth the transitions are. Fragrances built around ambrocenide, Iso E Super, birch and musk can feel compelling, but they can also turn dry, synthetic or overly forceful on some skin. That makes No.28687 more of a sample-first release than an effortless blind buy.
Still, the composition has a clear identity. It does not read generic from the note list alone. The mix of smoky leather effects, rose, white florals and a sweet resinous base gives it enough tension to stand out. If your taste runs toward woody fragrances with texture, shadow and a bit of floral lift, No.28687 looks promising. If you want something airy, transparent and easy from the first spray to the dry-down, this may not be the right lane.
FAQs
What does No.28687 smell like?+
It appears to center on woody, leathery and musky tones, with a smoky edge, some rose and white florals in the middle, and a smoother amber-vanilla base underneath.
Is No.28687 more fresh or dark?+
It looks more dark and textured than fresh. The citrus and fruity notes should brighten the opening, but the overall structure leans woody, smoky and leather-like.
Does No.28687 smell sweet?+
Some sweetness is likely from vanilla and tonka bean, but the note list and accord profile suggest the fragrance is led more by woods, leather, musk and smoke than by dessert-like sweetness.
Is No.28687 a good blind buy?+
It is probably safer as a sample first. The combination of ambrocenide, leather, smoke, musk and rose can be appealing, but it may also feel sharp, dense or quite assertive depending on your taste.
Who is No.28687 best suited to?+
It should suit someone who enjoys modern woody scents with smoky leather effects and does not mind a more synthetic, diffusive style in the opening.
Can No.28687 work year round?+
It may work best in cooler weather or evenings, where smoky, leathery and ambery notes usually feel more comfortable. In heat, it could come across heavier.
Is No.28687 office-friendly?+
Possibly in light application, but it does not look like a naturally quiet scent profile. The woody leather and ambrocenide combination may read strong in close indoor settings.
Does No.28687 have floral notes?+
Yes. Jasmine and rose are listed in the heart, and the accord profile also points to a noticeable floral effect rather than a purely dry woods fragrance.

Is No.28687 likely to feel smoky?+
Yes, that seems likely. Birch and styrax, together with the strong smoky and leather accords, suggest a noticeable burnt, resinous or charred nuance.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThere is not enough solid evidence yet for direct dupe claims, and this is not the kind of fragrance that should be reduced to automatic one-to-one comparisons. The safer comparison is by style: if you tend to enjoy smoky woody leathers with a rose accent and a musky amber base, this sits in that territory. If you prefer cleaner citrus woods or smoother sweet ambers, you may want to look elsewhere first.
