Revealing kpop idols’ perfumes is now officially a series here on this site since I get some requests from my Instagram. I get my perfume information from interviews like Vogue’s What’s in My Bag series and eagle-eyed fans on Twitter and Reddit spotting what their faves use based on their vlogs and other online content. So this time, I will do one of the most requested groups. What perfume do Enhypen members use, and where can you buy it in the Philippines? And yes, this is updated with the new perfumes they showed in the GQ Korea interview.
HEESEUNG
♥ Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay – Jo Malone’s description describes the scent as a burst of deep, tart blackberry juice, blending with the freshness of just-gathered bay and brambly woods. Vibrant and verdant. But in my opinion, it smells like blackberry and herbs. The leaf’s scent is too much. S.Coups of Seventeen is known to use this cologne too. This is available in Rustans, Lazada, and you can buy a 2ml sample here. This is also available in Nordstrom for $80.
♥ Penhaligon The Blazing Mr. Sam – Heesung showed this in their GQ Korea interview and said he bought this in the airport. This has a warm, spicy scent, woody with notes of tobacco and cinnamon. A lot of people say it smells like other perfumes such as Oud Dream by Montale and Halfeti (which is also from the same brand). Unfortunately, Penhaligon is unavailable in the Philippines, but you can try inquiring in Les Senteurs, a perfume collector and shopper. They are my friends, and I go to them to source niche perfumes. But online, you can buy this in Bergdorf Goodman for $310.
♥ Prada Luna Rossa Ocean EDT – In their latest “What’s in my bag?” interview by Vogue Korea, Heeseung mentioned he has four other perfumes at home, but this is the one he currently uses the most. This perfume smells fresh, aromatic, and sporty. You can buy this in Ulta for $150. This is also available in Rustans and Lazada. You can also buy this in Fresh Philippines and a 2ml decant in Shopee.
JAY
♥ Diptyque Tam Dao – This perfume is for both men and women, and it’s a very woody scent. The sandalwood and cedar are quite heavy. That’s all I can say since it’s not my kind of scent. You can buy this in Trunc, Rustans, and a 2ml decant here. Also available in Nordstrom for $175.
♥ Dior Sauvage – is also used by Vernon of Seventeen and Han of Stray Kids. It has an aromatic Fougere fragrance for modern men. Classy, crisp, spicy, clean, warm & uplifting. Top notes of Sichuan pepper & Calabrian bergamot. Heart notes of geranium, lavender, elemi, pink pepper, vetiver & patchouli. Base notes of cedar, labdanum & ambroxan. 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.
♥ Kilian Kologne Shield of Protection – He showed this in the GQ Korea interview with a box! This is a straightforward performance for me: woody, aromatic, and the citrus is quite zesty. I smelled too many perfumes like this from Korean brands. Kilian is not available in the Philippines, but you can inquire again at Les Senteurs. But online, this is available in Saks Fifth Avenue for $290.
♥ Floris London No. 007 – Another perfume that Jay showed in the GQ Korea interview. He said this was a gift from a fan he liked, so he bought a new bottle after finishing it. I believe Jay likes zesty woody perfumes because this one has almost the same notes as the Kilian perfume above. But unlike that one, this one has some floral, particularly rose notes, and the dry down is soapy. The brand is also not available in the Philippines, so again, you may want to inquire about Les Senteurs. But international fans can buy this online at John Lewis for GBP140.
♥ Kilian Back to Black Aphrodisiac – In the same “What’s in my bag?” Vogue interview, Jay mentioned this is the perfume he currently loves. It smells like powdery tobacco with honey and cherry. A masculine scent. You can buy a bottle in Neiman Marcus for $295. In the Philippines, Kilian is available in Rustans, but this specific scent is currently out of stock.
JAKE
♥ Coco Noir EDP – This one is a perfume for women, but I think it suits men, too. It’s a fruity scent that dries down to a floral scent and is a little heavy on the vanilla. It doesn’t last long, though. I couldn’t find a store that sells a full bottle of this in the Philippines, but I found a shop that sells a 2ml decant here. Available in Sephora US for $138.
♥ Tamburins Egg Perfume – In their Vogue interview, Jake showed this perfume, but Vogue didn’t highlight it, unlike with others, so I don’t know which exact scent he is using. But I am guessing it’s the same as Sunghoon’s, which is “Late Autumn” that’s why they didn’t mention it anymore. You can buy Tamburins in their stores in Korea, Japan, and China. In the Philippines, you can buy them from this Korean-based seller on Shopee for Php2740.
SUNGHOON
♥ Byredo Blanche – This is one of my favorite perfumes. I’m already on my 2nd bottle! A lot of Korean celebrities use this too, like Park Seo Joon, Jhope of BTS, and Hyunjin of Stray Kids. It has a musky, soapy, powdery scent with a little hint of floral, but it smells very fresh. You can buy those two Byredo perfumes in the stores I listed here. Also available in Nordstrom for $205 and in Cult Beauty for UKD188.
♥ Daniel’s Truth Bombshell Oil Perfume – Sunghoon showed this perfume in the GQ Korea interview too, and Heesung likes it so much he wanted to steal it from him. This is an indie perfume brand born in California (according to their website and Instagram). I’m not yet familiar with it. But some fans who already got this Bombshell oil perfume said it’s comparable to Byredo Blanche (so I may buy this too because that’s one of my top favorite perfumes of all time, so stay tuned for my follow-up review.) You can buy this perfume on Shopee for Php2900. In their official online shop, it costs KRW54000 (around PHP2300). Daniel’s Truth also has a US online shop where you can buy this oil perfume for $114.
♥ Body Fantasies Pure Fragrance Body Spray His Clean Laundry – I’m sure Sunghoon loves clean and fresh scents because this is the third one on the list now. He showed this in the “What’s In My Bag” video on their official YouTube channel. Body Fantasies is a drugstore brand that is affordable and available in Olive Young for $14 (Use my code ALYPICKS12 to get a discount) and also in the Philippines through Shopee. But heads up, Clean Laundry is often sold out in the Philippines. But you can buy it from this Shopee reseller.
♥ Jo Loves A Fragrance Paintbrush Pomelo – Also shown in the same What’s In My Bag video on their YouTube Channel. This brand is owned by Jo Malone! I heard she founded this new brand after selling Jo Malone to the Estee Lauder Group. You can buy this in Jo Love’s store in Glorietta 4 and on Jo Loves website for £40. This is also available in Rustan’s Philippines.
♥ Le Labo Another 13 – In their Vogue interview, Sunghoon showed 2 perfumes, and one of them is this. Another 13 is one of Le Labo’s best sellers. I have this perfume. It’s a very musky scent, clean, minimalist, and, of course, woody (like most Le Labo scents). Kinda reminds you of the smell of magazine paper. That’s because this is a collaboration between Le Labo and Another Magazine. You can buy this in Net-A-Porter for $235. In the Philippines, this is available in the Le Labo store in Greenbelt. But you can try a 2ml sample in Shopee.
♥ Tamburins Egg Perfume Late Autumn – Sunghoon showed this in the same Vogue interview. According to their website, it has the gentle scent of grass in the sugarcane field. Converge with the bittersweet orange and the soft musk scent that lingers at the end of the gradually fading green. With that description, I guess it’s citrus, sweet, and green. I’ll be traveling to Seoul soon, and I’ll update this when I smell this perfume in their store. You can buy Tamburins in their stores in Korea, Japan, and China. You can buy them in the Philippines from the Korean-based seller on Shopee for Php2740.
SUNOO
♥ Lush Love Perfume – I honestly haven’t bought any Lush perfumes yet. It’s because I always pass by their store and find their scent too strong for me. But that’s just me. I tested this one in their store in Singapore. It is said to have floral, citrus, sensual jasmine, and warm cinnamon notes. But for me, the citrus is just too strong; it’s the only one I smelled. Lush has several branches in the Philippines. But you can buy this online in Trunc PH.
♥ Prada Infusion de Cèdre EDP – Also shown in their GQ Korea interview, this is a unisex perfume that has a woody fragrance with a hint of iris, violet, warm spicy, and powdery. The dry down has some faint incense scent. It’s clean, crisp, and elegant. You can buy this in Nordstrom for $180. I haven’t found a store that sells this specific Prada scent, even on decant sellers.
NIKI
♥ Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin – This cologne is citrus and aromatic, very zesty. It’s a unisex scent, but it leans towards men due to the woody dry down. You can buy a full bottle of this in Zalora, Rustans, and a 2ml decant here. Also available in Walmart for $195.
♥ Aquaflor Firenze Orphyca – Niki showed this twice already. The first was from a live performance, while the second one was in the GQ Korea interview, so he probably loves this perfume so much. It has a fruity, powdery fragrance, while the dry down is kind of creamy. A good perfume for the spring and summer seasons. Unfortunately, this brand is not available in the Philippines. But you can try inquiring in Les Senteurs, a perfume collector and shopper. You can also buy this on Aqua Flor Firenze official website for €165.
JUNGWON
Whenever I write a post about kpop group members’ perfumes, I always start with their leader, but not this time. Because I couldn’t find any perfume used by the Enhypen leader. Someone joked it must be Jonhson’s Baby Cologne because Jungwon looks like he smells like one, but kidding aside, I read that he doesn’t use one and is kind of allergic to perfumes. And he just confirmed in their GQ Korea interview that he doesn’t use one while the other members are showing off their perfumes. He can’t even believe that a person (i.e., Jay) can finish a whole bottle of perfume.
