I have been obsessing with perfumes lately, and also with the Kpop group Seventeen. So I was thrilled to learn that I was wearing the same perfume as some of them. I know it sounds crazy but if you’re a fangirl, you know the feeling of having something in common with the members of your favorite kpop group. Below are the perfumes worn by Seventeen members and where to buy them in the Philippines, including decants and 2ml samples. Heads up, this list doesn’t include Hoshi, Jun, Woozi, and Seungkwan because I couldn’t find any info about their perfumes except for The Saem Perfume collab.
FAQ: How did you know all these?
Answer: These are all gathered from their interviews, live streams, video fan calls, fan meetings, eagle-eyed Carats who spot their stuff from every photo/video, and other online content.

Wonwoo
Tom Ford Bitter Peach – Before Wonwoo revealed this is his perfume, I already tried this in Sephora when I was in Singapore. This was one of the perfumes I wanted to try but ended up not buying. It doesn’t smell bad, it’s just not my type of scent. If I remember correctly it is fruity and floral but in my head, it’s like a fermented peach, it’s sweet but quite sour. You can buy this on Tom Ford Beauty’s official page in Lazada in a full bottle and 10ml atomizer. But you can buy a 2ml sample here. This is also available in Macy’s for $250 and Harrods for UKD280.
Dior Sauvage – This is one of the popular perfumes among Kpop idols. Han of Stray Kids, Wooyoung of Ateez, and Jay of Enhypen, even Vernon are known to use this perfume. Now, Wonwoo was seen spraying this on himself at an event because he recently modeled this perfume and Miss Dior Blooming Boquet for a Japanese magazine. This perfume is aromatic for modern men. Classy, crisp, spicy, clean, warm & uplifting. Recommended for spring or summer wear. This is available in Zalora, and you can buy a 2ml decant here. Also available in Nordstrom for $150.

Lola James Harper #9 The Comic Store of George – This one is a room spray that Joshua uses as perfume. It’s him who introduced me to Lola James Harper after I watched his Vogue interview with Vernon. But I haven’t tried this exact scent yet, I ended up getting the #11 The Coffee Shop of JP, but according to their website #9 smells like a wood floor, the vintage books & magazines. I know it may not sound so nice but I have a perfume which is Byredo 1996 that smells like vintage books and magazines and I love it.

I saw that this is available in SSENSE but locally, I haven’t found a reseller yet. But try messaging Les Senteurs PH, a perfume collector/shopper. Also available in Harvey Nichols for UKD225.
Creed Virgin Island Water – On the Going Seventeen Episode 86: BOOming Outing 2), Jeonghan was spotted using this perfume. As you can tell from the name, it is a tropical scent.

So far I haven’t found a decant of this in Shopee yet.

Mingyu
Side Note: Wonwoo is my bias but I think Mingyu and I have the same taste in perfume.
Le Labo Santal 33 – I owned this perfume before I even knew Mingyu uses this because this perfume has a cult following but some may argue this is overhyped. But honestly, it is an acquired taste. For me, the leather and woody notes are quite strong, and it’s a bit spicy but the dry down is a bit powdery. Overall, this is not the perfume I often wear. I almost forgot I own one! Le Labo doesn’t have an official retailer in the Philippines yet, but you can preorder this from Les Senteurs PH, a perfume collecter/shopper, and you can buy a decant from Vial. You can also buy a decant here. This is also available in Cult Beauty for UKD216 (they ship internationally) and in Nordstrom for $97.
Diptyque Philosykos – Another perfume that is also in my collection. It smells like fig leaf (the most potent smell for me), a bit woody, and coconut. It comes in 2 versions: Eau De Toilette and Eau De Parfum. Besides the longevity, the only difference between the two versions is the EDP smells more creamy coconut. Fun Fact: Jin of BTS also uses this perfume. You can buy it in Trunc, Rustans and a decant is available here. Also available in Net-A-Porter for $220.
Santa Maria Novella Melograno – I just bought this one and I love it, a very unisex perfume. It smells like pomegranate at first spray and dries down to a soapy-powdery scent like you just had a shower. I even spray this to myself before sleeping and I wake up smelling good. According to the Santa Maria Novella website, Melograno is a fragrance of pomegranate tartness on a powdery background. I pre-ordered my bottle of this from Les Senteurs PH. Also available in Saks Fifth Avenue for $150.

THE8
Just a heads up, Minghao loves floral scents! It’s so obvious with his collection.
Diptyque L’Ombre Dans L’eau – I have this perfume in my collection too. I bought this immediately after smelling the Diptyque Baies candle. I Googled if they have a perfume counterpart of that cult fave candle and a lot of people recommended this perfume, It’s true, they do smell alike. For me, the berries note is very prominent with a hint of rose. This is available in Rustans, and Trunc, and you can buy the 2ml sample here. Also available in Nordstrom for $220.
Diptyque Baies Room Spray – Minghao likes the scent of blackcurrant berries and roses because he also owns this room spray which has the same scent as the perfume above. This is also available in Rustans and Trunc. Also available in Net-A-Porter for $72.
Lola James Harper #7 The Rainy Days in the Lake District Room Spray – Either Minghao also uses room spray as a perfume like Joshua or he likes his room to smell good. This room spray has notes of Myrrh, Labdanum, and Ylang. You can buy this directly from the Lola James Harper website and they ship internationally.
Jo Malone Cypress & Grapevine – This cologne has a fresh, aromatic scent, powered with woody notes of trailing grapevines. Depths of amber ground this verdant scene in intensity and sensuality, for a bold and compelling effect. This is part of Jo Malone’s intense cologne line so it’s a bit more pricey. You can buy this in Rustans and you can buy a decant here. Also available in Nordstrom for $220.
Le Labo Gaiac 10 – This perfume is only available to purchase in Tokyo, Japan. But a lot of people say that it smells good. It’s a woody fragrance for men and women. I honestly don’t know where you can buy this locally, but it doesn’t hurt to inquire from Les Senteurs PH. But you can buy a decant here to know.
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir – This one is often sold out so I haven’t tried it yet. According to Jo Malone’s website, it has daring sensuality, encapsulated in scent. Ruby-rich juices of exotic pomegranate spiked with pink pepper and Casablanca lily. Warmed by temptingly smoky guaiac wood and patchouli. You can buy Jo Malone from their official Lazada page, but you can also buy a 2ml sample here. Also available in Nordstrom for $155.
Gucci Bloom – This perfume is created to unfold like its name, capturing the rich scent of a thriving garden filled with an abundance of flowers.

DK
Byredo Bal D’Afrique – This is one of my favorite perfumes. I even have this in different variants and the one I often use when I go out. And I often get a compliment on how I smell good with this. It’s a good balance of floral, woodsy, and musk scents, not one overpowering the other notes. Decadent and romantic, intense but fresh, the Bal d’Afrique Eau de Parfum is said to be Byredo’s love letter to Africa.
Byredo doesn’t have an official retailer in the Philippines yet, but I listed trusted local Byredo resellers here and you can buy a 2ml sample here. Also available in Nordstrom for $290 and in Cult Beauty for UKD140.
Kilian Moonlight in Heaven – In his ELLE Korea interview, DK mentioned that he bought the Kilian Moonlight in Heaven because of its bottle and after reading the scent description he got more curious. This perfume is marketed as a unisex scent and it is refillable. The prominent notes are grapefruit, mango, and creamy coconut with some white flowers. It is a very summery scent, perfect for tropical climates in my opinion. However, longevity, projection, and sillage are mid. You can buy a full bottle in Rustans and a decant to test in Shopee. You can also buy this in Cult Beauty.
Polo Ralph Lauren Ralph’s Club – In the same ELLE Korea interview, DK also showed this perfume. He mentioned it has a very sexy scent. Use it if you want to feel sexy. You can buy a full bottle in Fresh Philippines and a decant in Shopee.
