Blue De Chanel - This citrus woody fragrance for men is popular among kpop idols, Joshua of Seventeen, Lee Know of Stray Kids, and Yeonjun of TxT wear this too. It is said to have a fresh, intense, vibrant, sensual & seductive scent. Top notes of the citrus accord, vetiver & pink pepper. Heart notes of grapefruit, dry cedar tones & labdanum. Base notes of frankincense, ginger & sandalwood. You can buy this in Zalora and a decant is available here. Also available in Nordstrom for $125.
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. Jay of Enhypen and Ateez members San and Wooyoung use this perfume too. You can buy this full bottle in Trunc, and a 2ml decant here. Also available in Nordstrom for $175.
- This is one of my favorite perfumes. I'm thrilled to know my bias wrecker in NCT 127 uses this too. Another idol who is known to use this is Byredo Bal d'AfriqueDK of Seventeen. It is quite hard to explain how exactly this perfume smells, but 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. 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.

Le Labo Another 13 - This one smells like a magazine, very musky and woody with a hint of amber. It makes sense that it smells like a magazine because this was crafted in collaboration with AnOther Magazine. This is one of the brand's most popular scents, next to Santal 33. You can buy this in Nordstrom starting at $99 and in Cult Beauty for EUR244. If you're from the Philippines, you can buy a decent in Shopee if you want to try it first. For the full bottle, inquire to Les Senteurs.
Chanel 1957 - I am not familiar with Chanel perfumes and this one, and I really can't find this in stores. But according to Fragrantica, this is powdery, and musky with some floral notes. I couldn't find other stores that sell this too besides Selfridges for UKD200 but it's currently out of stock.

Tom Ford White Suede - As the name suggests, this perfume smells like powdery musky leather with a hint of floral. It's honestly quite confusing for me at first sniff. This is available in Sephora for $185. In the Philippines, this is available in Tom Ford Beauty Lazada for Php9300, in Rustans for Php14750, and you can also buy a decant in Shopee to try.
Le Labo Neroli 36 - I remember trying this at the Le Labo store, it's a straightforward scent. Smells like orange blossoms, sweet yet sharp. This is available in Nordstrom for $99 and in Cult Beauty for EUR189. In the Philippines, you can check perfume shopper Les Senteurs and this list of Le Labo resellers.
Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense - It is exactly what it is, myrrh and tonka beans with some lavender. It smells like amber, balsamic, and warm spicy. Available in Nordstrom for $160. You can also buy a decant in Shopee.

WINWIN
Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Winwin couldn't remember the one he used exactly, but some fans said it could be "Ginepro di Sardegna" based on his description. This is a classically fresh, crisp, masculine fragrance. It's aromatic and citrusy. This is available in Nordstrom for $93. There's no Aqua Di Parma store in the Philippines, but you can check perfume shopper Les Senteurs.

JUNGWOO
- This one is my favorite Diptyque perfume and often sold out. Diptyque Fleur de Peau EauWooyoung of Ateez is also known to use this perfume. This is a tribute to the mythical love between Psyche and Eros. It is very musky and powdery with a hint of iris and rose with a little bit of wood and pink pepper. It lasts all day with me. In my opinion, among all the Diptyque perfumes, this one is the safest blind buy. You can buy this in Trunc for Php10,000. Also available in Net-a-Porter for $220. If you want to try this and not commit to a full bottle yet, you can buy a decant in Shopee and Official Vial.
Byredo Unnamed - This perfume has no name, literally. The label is just the brand and Eau de parfum. It's powdery, pink pepper, and woody with a lovely violet dry down. Unfortunately, this is a limited edition perfume and is no longer available anywhere. I hope they release it again.
