Song Hye Kyo - Penhaligon's Orange Blossom

We all know that Song Hye Kyo is also one of the early lovely ladies when it comes to Korean dramas. So, having her favourite perfumed be revealed in a Korean program is great news, especially to the ladies who take her as their inspiration.

It was revealed in Get It Beauty (a Korean beauty program) that the actress uses Penhaligon’s, Orange Blossom. The fruity scents of oranges and orchards mix well in this scent revealing a splendid smell of summer scent. 

Park Min Young - Creed’s Love in White for Summer

Park Min Young has frequented our screens with her roles in various romantic-comedy K-dramas. The roles she has played as a romantic lady might’ve been one of the factors why she chose Creed’s Love in White for Summer as her favourite scent.

She revealed her beauty secret on her personal Youtube channel. This fragrance bursts with fruity notes followed by a combination of woody and floral notes to top off its romantic scent. 

Lee Hyeri - Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia

Reply 1988 Lee Hyeri’s favourite scent is one of the early revelations revealed to her fans. She shared that she uses Jo Malone’s London English Pear & Freesia in one of her vlogs.
