As expected, fresh-smelling
The beauty of fragrance is that its effects are almost immediate. It's unlike skincare where you have to wait weeks to months to take effect, even when you're armed with a Korean celebrity's elixir to flawless skin. So whether you're on a hunt for a new scent or just want to know more about your favorite K-drama actress' beauty secrets, here are perfumes that the likes of Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye Jin, and more have in their vanity:
