How to Smell like Our Favorite K-Pop Idol: W.Dressroom Fragrances give us Plenty of Options to Choose From
I have an affinity for fragrance and enjoy it subtly present in my skincare. I also rarely leave home without a spray or two of my current perfume. So discovering the popular W.Dressroom Dress & Living Clear Perfume was a delightful surprise—I’m ready to spray it all over myself and around the house!
Despite the New York in the brand’s label, W.Dressroom is actually a renowned Korean fragrance brand that gained fame when it was embraced by Korean idols and celebrities, including BTS’ V and Jungkook. They favor scents No.45 Morning Rain and No.97 April Cotton, respectively. No. 45 Morning Rain features top notes of Lemon, Mandarin Orange, and Peach; mid notes of Melon, Green Cucumber, and Jasmine; and base notes of Whitewood, Musk, and Oak Moss. Meanwhile, No. 97 April Cotton offers top notes of Lime, Bergamot, Anise, Pear, and Clove; middle notes of Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Violet; and base notes of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, Honey, and Sandal.
The range of scents offered by W.Dressroom is truly expansive, with over 15 scents available locally and special limited edition scents in exclusive packaging appearing periodically. Some of these limited editions pay homage to local attractions, like No. 75 Yangyang Surfing and No. 79 Damyang, capturing the essence of these places in unique fragrances. Others cater to more gourmand preferences, such as No. 314 Strawberry in Cream and No. 214 Hazelnut in Chocolate, which delight the senses with their dessert-inspired notes.
One scent that particularly captures my interest is No. 86 Boseong Green Tea, which is described as “the freshness of spring, in the green tea field. The gentle fragrance of the wood carried by the wind.” Having visited the Boseong Green Tea Fields myself, this scent promises a fitting tribute to those lush, verdant landscapes and the serene memories associated with them.
Currently, I'm exploring the W. Dressroom Dress & Living Clear Perfume in No. 40 Chic Amber, which I believe is part of their classic lineup. The pricing is quite reasonable, with three size options available: 30ml for P199, 70ml for P349, and 150ml for P599. This scent features a delightful composition of top notes including Cassis (Blackcurrant), Green Apple, Lemon, and Bergamot. It flows into middle notes of Muguet (Lily of the Valley), Magnolia, and Freesia, and finishes with a foundation of Musk and Amber. To me, it presents as a fresh fruity floral scent that gains a subtle depth as it settles.
This perfume is also designed with deodorizing and antibacterial properties, making it an excellent choice for eliminating unwanted odors like smoke and food smells while also reducing germs. It's ideal for spraying directly onto clothes or linens, or even in spaces that need a bit of refreshing, such as rooms, cars, and cabinets. However, it’s wise to conduct a patch test on delicate fabrics before widespread use, and the bottle specifically advises to "avoid spraying on finished wood". Given its effects on clothing, it seems particularly perfect for bringing along to those unlimited samgyupsal or Korean BBQ outings, ensuring you leave as fresh as you arrived.
W.Dressroom Dress & Living Clear Perfume is available online at Shopee, Lazada, and Watsons. If you prefer buying scents in person like I do, check out their in-store branches over at their Instagram. The line is available at select SM and Watsons branches.
