We start to know K-Pop idols' beauty secret, but one thing that stayed quite mysterious is their scent. But not anymore, check out these 7 male K-Pop idol's favorite perfume, and what their scent is like.
Ash, Kpopmap EditorIn the K-Pop industry, both male and female idols pay very delicate and details attention when it comes to taking care of themselves. May it be through beauty, fashion, or hairstyles, idols like to look clean and pamper themselves a lot. When looking at K-Pop idols, fans always notice how they look great, and perfect at all times, it is almost as if little flowers bloom all around them as they pass by. But one thing everybody cannot help but wonder about is what they smell like. Seeing those fresh and delicate looks gets everyone curious about what kind of scent emanates from K-Pop idols.
Of course, we're not talking about natural scent, but their perfume scent. It is well-known that many idols tend to wear perfume, especially when attending certain events. Some K-Pop male idols have shared some of their favorite perfumes, allowing us to know who scents like what. If you're curious about one of these 7 idols' scents, make sure to try out their favorite perfume next time you pass by a beauty shop! and if the scent is of your liking, maybe you can buy one as well.
Leo's favorite perfume is none other than Versace Eau Fraiche, which is a very aromatic and tonic perfume. Composed of top, heart, and base scents, this perfume contains a large variety of scents, from lemon to musk. This perfume fits the idol very well considering his various charms and talents, and his fresh attitude.
Bang Chan's favorite perfume is known to be Versace Eros, said to be a 'fragrance for bold, passionate man' and it fits Bang Chan perfectly. This perfume also has multiple scents from fruits and plants making it both strong, and sweet and enjoyable. This perfume also follows vegan principles, meaning it only uses natural ingredients for its composition, so it is not so surprising that Bang Chan likes it that much, knowing his kind golden heart, he probably wants to act upon environmental matters by purchasing such products.
Yuta is going for the classic with the iconic and timeless Chanel No.5. It is a perfume rarely used by men, so it is quite surprising to see Yuta choose it as his favorite perfume, but in a sense, it suits him. Yuta is often going for unique fashion style or hairstyle, he likes things outside the box and enjoys individuality. So it is no surprise that once again, he went for something different than others. The scent of this perfume is mostly composed of plants such as Ylang-ylang, roses, and jasmine. And we can picture Yuta with such scents.
As to Cha EunWoo's reputation as a bright shining star, it is no surprise that such a perfume is his favorite. Soleil Blanc means white sun in French, and the perfume is said to be 'addictive', and 'unapologetically exudes the pursuit of sun'. That is just like Cha EunWoo himself, very addictive in all points, may it be his visuals, singing, dancing, or acting, and he unapologetically exudes the pursuit to our hearts, while being as bright as the sun. This is a very suited perfume for an idol such as Cha EunWoo.
D.O.'s favorite perfume is quite a unique pick, but it suits him so well. This perfume originated from one of the Maison Diptyque's founder's childhood memory. He grew up in Indonesia, surrounded by nature and animals, and he decided to depict those memories in a fragrance. He describes this perfume as one with an unforgettable smell, like the ones from his childhood. D.O. is also an unforgettable idol, so it makes sense that he wears an unforgettable scent. Plus, considering his calm and mature attitude, a forest-like scent fits him very well.
JoShua also chose a perfume whose scent aligns with his personality. The mimosa & cardamom perfume, as stated in its name, smells like mimosa and cardamom, meaning strong yet quite sweet plan scents. It is a perfume very suited for JoShua and his delicate, flower-like visuals. His good looks were already reminding us of flowers and nature, and now we know that he smells just like this as well.
Another idol who seems to enjoy Jo Malone's perfume is YeonJun, and the scent he likes is so much like him. Yeonjun has such a strong aura and confidence, he is that one idol you cannot miss. His perfume is just the same, with a very strong and remarkable scent that mixes forest and sea scents, if YeonJun passes by you wearing such a perfume, it would be hard not to notice it. This perfume is very bold and outstanding, just like Yeonjun is both on and off-stage.
There are some more idols who shared their favorite perfumes, but there were some we found especially suited or unique. If you are curious about other K-Pop idols' favorite perfumes, make sure to check out the following articles!

In another life, these K-Pop idols could have been soccer superstars!
Dyllan Mykel, Kpopmap EditorSoccer, or also known as football, is loved all over the world. It has deep roots in Korean culture, as many K-Pop idols were introduced to the sport at a very young age. Countless singers spend their downtime either watching professional matches or playing in leagues of their own. Fans even hear their bias talk about their favorite teams and players.
Then there are some idols who love the sport of soccer and absolutely excel in it. They surprise many with their fancy footwork and nimble maneuvering. You can tell that they have put a considerable amount of effort into the game, practically as much time as they spent training to become an idol. There are even a handful that could have gone pro.
Check out which K-Pop idols could have been soccer superstars in another timeline.
During his childhood, Leo was a part of South Korea's National Youth Soccer Team in 2003. While he switched paths and went down the road of becoming an idol, he is still lauded as one of the best soccer players in the entertainment industry. He has publicly shown his skills over the years on MBC's "Idol Star Athletic Championship", as well as JTBC's "Let's Play Soccer". In another life, we're sure that Leo is a soccer superstar.
Yuta is extremely charismatic on stage and has the aura to stand out during any performance. However, before setting down the path of becoming a singer, the NCT member was a passionate soccer athlete. He first started playing the sport in preschool and continued until he was a senior in middle school. He has shown amazing handling of the ball across various variety programs, earning countless praise and acknowledgement for his skills. Thankfully for fans, he walked off the soccer field and stepped onto the music stage instead.
WOODZ is a complete artist and has gained recognition for his musicality. But before becoming a singer, he had an immense love for soccer. When he was younger, the singer moved to Brazil and joined a youth soccer club under the well known Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. While he moved on to pursue music, WOODZ was invited a couple times to JTBC's "Let's Play Soccer" to show off his impressive skills. WOODZ truly is the definition of all-rounder, in music and sports.
DuJoon is famous among 2nd generation idols for his impressive soccer skills. He has an immense love and passion for the game that's evident every time he plays or talks about it. Back in 2014, the idol was named as an honorary ambassador for the Korea Professional Football Association's K-League. You cannot talk about soccer-dols and not mention DuJoon.
When you think about idol soccer players, Kim JaeHwan might not be the first on your list. However, the idol once revealed his deep history with the sport and that he was even trained by a coach from Brazil. He also shared that when he competed in a district soccer competition, his team won the whole thing and at the end, JaeHwan received the best player award. Although he had the promise to become a soccer superstar, we're more than happy that he is now a beloved singer.
RoWoon is an incredible actor and idol, impressing everyone with his endless talents and skills. Although in another life, the idol singer could have added soccer athlete to the list. When he was younger, RoWoon absolutely loved the sport. He has played since third grade and even participated at the National Soccer Competition in Chuncheon. Although RoWoon as an athlete would have been nice, we're happy he traded his cleats for a microphone and script instead.
MinHo has made a name for himself as one of the most competitive idols in the entertainment industry. That passion could have very well led him to become a professional athlete. He has even said himself that he once dreamed of becoming a professional soccer athlete. But that dream was quickly snuffed out by his father, a renowned soccer coach. Despite not going pro, MinHo consistently shows his athleticism across various programs.
Could you imagine these idols as professional soccer athletes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
